“Absolutely brilliant place to stay!”
+We stayed at Sweetwaters Serena as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenage boys) as part of an amazing 10 day Safari trip. Sweetwaters was the 3rd stop of our trip and unfortunately we were only there for 1 night, but would highly recommend!! The main draw, that you notice as soon as you arrive, is of course the waterhole. It’s literally right there, with the majority of tents facing it (worth requesting or paying more for this) so you have jaw dropping views of elephants etc as you sit on your deck or eat your lunch in the restaurant. Just brilliant. The tents themselves are top notch and not at all like you’d imagine tents to be. Proper beds, lovely bedding, luxurious bathrooms with big hot showers. Not as big as some we stayed in but beautiful all the same, and you really felt spoilt and right at the heart of the nature around you. Very special. The food was some of the best we had on our entire trip. A magnificent buffet with something for everyone and chefs cooking fresh food in front of you. Lovely puddings too! Big shout out to Benson in the restaurant - a lovely man who took very good care of us. Facilities were great here too for our teenage sons. Clean spacious outdoor pool an

“Kinda disappointing despite good location”
+Situated right on the lake so easy access to check out the local wildlife. Spotted lots of giraffes, a hippo, and variety of birds. The rooms were a bit small and tired looking and a bunch of the property was closed for renovations so it felt busy with nowhere to sit and chill pre/post dinner. The buffet food was excellent though, for both dinner and breakfast.

“Tent in name only.”
+We had a wonderful stay for a couple days at Sweetwater. It was the second stop on our safari. Our tent was very comfortable. This area was much cooler than our first stop and cooler than Nairobi. As a welcome surprise, when our attendants turned down our beds, they added two hot-water bottles to pre-warm the bed. The first night they were much appreciated but the next two nights were not as cold. The beds were very comfortable and the full bathrooms with hot showers were greatly appreciated. Meals were very good. The bar was amply supplied. Everyone was so nice and very helpful. Kudos to the staff. Well done.

“Sweetwater Doesn't Disappoint”
+We were traveling with another couple and stayed one night. It was our third stay at Sweetwater. We always ask for a tent near the watering hole as you can see game from your tent's front porch. Rooms were great. Food was above average, the Indian food was the best choice on the buffet. The pool would have been great but was closed before we could take a dip. Service was excellent. Easy to see game and easy to get to the property.

“If you possibly are able, visit this haven!”
+This spot is magical. No other word to describe it. Beautiful, romantic…quintessentially special. A special shout out to Jimmy and Stephen who went out of their way to take care of us in the most gracious of ways. 5 starts is not enough.

“Super location, outstanding staff.”
+Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a world class safari option, but it is becoming very expensive - particularly the accommodation options, which is why Sweetwaters Serena is always our top choice in Kenya - it is such good value for money. Apart from the location, the outstanding feature is undoubtedly the amazing staff - every one of them. The food is excellent - amazing variety, and so many options. The standard tents offer everything you need, and the luxury ones truly are luxurious. A big thank you to everyone of the staff - you make such a difference to the experience, and we are always truly grateful.

“MEMORABLE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE”
+We received a warmly reception right from the reception desk accompanied by a warm towel and a fresh juice. Our tent was very spacious with magnificent views of the wild animals at the water hole. In the evening it gets quite chilly and hot water bottles room service place in the beds every evening is a nice touch. Their meals are soo fresh featuring a comprehensive buffet of fresh local fruits, freshly baked pastries, cereals, juices, generous spread of meats, dairy and vegetarian options. Definitely looking forward to coming back for another magical moment
