Sweetwaters Serena Camp

Excellent service from all staff amazing game drives watering hole had plenty of visitors birds and animals. Massage very good value and relaxing Seeing black rhino wandering past our tent was very special. Had luck in seeing 3 male lions at close range

Sweetwaters Camp was a great place to relax between game drives in Ol’ Pejeta. While being driven from the airport to the camp, we saw 3 out of the Big 5! The tents at the camp face either a watering hole or Mt Kenya. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. One staff member showed us a very special friend after he knew we enjoyed birds. The camp has a resident Marabou stork! The bed was great, the bathroom clean, etc. The best thing about the camp is seeing and hearing animals come to the watering hole. Zebras, Rhinos, elephants, Cape buffalo, waterbuck, and so many more. The food was all buffet with a short order cook for omelets or stirfry. It was very good. Highly recommend! In my opinion, the only down side was the VERY long walk from our tent to the dining area and main meeting area.

Sweetwaters' tents look on to a waterhole that is popular with the areas wildlife, and a great place to see black rhinos and white rhinos up close. The tents are comfortable but not 'over the top'. There is also a sanctuary for chimps: a bit surprising as they're not native to Kenya, but it has been a success rescuing these apes from the bushmeat and pet trades. The camp staff are friendly and efficient - and Gracie Wanja (Front Office) deserves a special mention.

Wild animals grazing outside of your tent! This was our first stop on our safari experience and it did not disappoint. Service was very good. Food was fine with a wide array of different choices at the buffet. We were in a canvas tent (a very nice one) on a platform with a full bathroom. Any issues we had were solved quickly. We went on game drives with a private guide (from an outside company) who was so knowledgeable and knew where to look for animals.

The tented accommodations provided a wonderful balance of comfort and nature. Our tent overlooked a watering hole, where we watched zebras, giraffes and elephants gather — an unforgettable experience! Service was good but not on par with other camps, and the food was average. It got cold at night, but they provided hot water bottles, which was a thoughtful touch. The best part was the watering hole so be sure to book a tent with a view.

I've done many safaris throughout Kenya, but we've come back here several times. The accommodations are wonderful, but the staff are over the top amazing! They catered to us like a 6 star resort! This park has the most plentiful animals, and we had some absolutely amazing game drives!
