About

Relaxed all-inclusive resort with tent-style quarters & free Wi-Fi, plus a restaurant & a bar.

The waterhole right outside camp is the real draw — elephants, zebras, and warthogs roll through all day, and you can watch from your tent or over dinner. Game drives in Ol Pejeta deliver consistent Big Five sightings, including both black and white rhinos, which is rare. The tents are spacious and genuinely comfortable, and the hot water bag they tuck into your bed on cold nights is a nice touch.

    Hotel staff are all sweet in Sweetwaters Good Experience . Worth a visit . Calm and peaceful ! Amazing to see various animals from your room . They keep moving all through the day and night . We saw even hyena in the night from our room . An elephant also visited very late night . They all flock to the waterhole adjacent to the lodge Suggestion : there should be a big map board of the park with marks indicating previous big cats sighting spots on the previous game drives . Makes probability higher by spending more time in the probable areas and / Or plan the route well

    Definitely the best game drive we’ve experienced. This has been a wonderful visit and we’re already planning to come back. The resort is fantastic and we’ve enjoyed learning about all the different animals.

    Our stay at Sweetwaters Serena Camp was an amazing experience. Located in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the camp offers stunning views. There is a small pond near the camp where several animals come to drink, and we were able to see gazelles, warthogs, zebras, elephants, and a wide variety of birds. We enjoyed both morning and evening game drives and saw many rhinos, including white and black rhinos, as well as lions, giraffes, and more. The tent was spacious and very comfortable, with everything we needed. The hot water bag placed in the bed was a thoughtful and comforting touch. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, always ensuring that we were comfortable. The food was excellent, with a wide variety in the buffet, including vegan and vegetarian options. The team made everything effortless for us, and the memories from this stay will remain with us forever.

    Absolutely amazing place. The tents were clean and well presented with an amazing view of Mount Kenya. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The food was some of the best we've had all safari and there was great entertainment and wine in the bar. It is also located within the park so it is convenient for game drives. Highly recommend.

    Excellent experience in nature 👌. Our Camp was facing the pond. We saw Rhinos drinking water at the pond from inside the tent window. Saw elephant from the dinning area. Camp was spacious 👍 with all the amenities. Very good courteous service of all staff. During game drive, we saw pack of lions. Highly recommended for stay and game drive animal viewing.
