Sweetwaters Serena Camp, Ol Pejeta
Where conservation meets safari
Stunning views of Mount Kenya and Big Five viewing in the private Ol Pejeta conservancy.
Sweetwaters Serena boasts stunning views of Mount Kenya and fantastic game viewing in the private Ol Pejeta conservancy. Home to the largest black rhino conservancy in East Africa, Ol Pejeta is an exceptional place to embark on your safari adventure. The camp’s dining room, aptly named the Rhino Dining Room, has huge windows overlooking the local watering hole, so you can watch wildlife while enjoying your meals. Visit the Endangered Species Enclosure to learn about rhino conservation or meet the rescued animals at the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary – the only one in Kenya. For a look into the habits of the most awe-inspiring predators, take a night drive under the starry sky.

Nairobi, KenyaApril 2025
I stayed here for two nights and did gamedrives at Olpaheta conservnacy. The mt kenya and Abardares view is breathtaking. The place has a savanah vibe. Its close to olpajeta Conservancy so one can do gamedrives there. I recommend it to both fily and business travels
Nairobi, KenyaMarch 2025
I seriously enjoyed how therapeutic Sweetwaters was. The rooms were very neat, comfortable and cozy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was awesome with a lot of food choices. The swimming pool was very clean and comes with a best view. Please do not miss the sunset
Franschhoek, South AfricaMarch 2025
Very well-run lodge; however, it was a bit too large for our tastes. We prefer smaller, more intimate accommodations, with individual meal service rather than the large buffet. Their gift shop is well-stocked, and the hot water bottles for our feet at night were much appreciated. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. James, our room steward, and Anne, from the dining room, took excellent care of us. The breakfast boxes they prepared for us were very good!
