Beautiful Maisha Sweetwaters

10.0

It was beautifully decorated with contemporary African furnishings. My tent was huge and had everything you could possibly need for your stay. The whole property was very clean and modern. Lovely balconies to sit on and enjoy the serenity. There are residents peacocks, geese, guinea fowls and ostriches that wander the property and are nice to observe.

Maybe some night time activities, a pool table, board games or dart board so that you can have some social games after dark.

Amazing stay

The location was perfect, food was great, environment and view of mount Kenya in the morning was fabulous.

The Views, the room, the fireplace outside the room, everything felt perfect.

A place to visit and to return to even semi annually!

10.0

The views, plantings, friendly staff, delicious a La carte foods, pool, birds,and more

We liked everything….the only thing was I had a FACiAL ….and was VERY disappointed that with all the wonderful natural OILS and cremes made in Kenya …….the products USED were Nivea and common kitchen oils used in cooking!!!! That was very shocking to me who would have purschased some Kenyan oils at the Gift Shop if Marula Oil had been used and if there had been kenyan cremes used and then recommended by the Facialist staff member

Caution: When booking Sweetwaters camp, be aware there are now two distinct properties: Maisha and Serena. We accidentally booked Sweetwaters Maisha, thinking it was the well-established Sweetwaters Serena camp located within Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The two experiences are not comparable. Positive Aspects of Maisha: - Excellent staff service - Outstanding food quality - Larger tents than Sweetwaters Serena (if space is your priority)

Maisha Drawbacks: - Located outside park gates, requiring double payment of park fees if you wish to exit and return - Resembles an army camp with newly planted vegetation (trees only hip-height) creating a barren atmosphere - Faces the savannah and swimming pool rather than Mount Kenya, missing the stunning views and sunrises - More expensive than Serena despite these limitations - Oversized tents that lack the cozy feeling of standard tented camps Why We Prefer Serena: - Located within the park with convenient access - Green and lush surroundings - Faces the waterhole with salt lick and offers spectacular Mount Kenya views - More intimate, cozy tented accommodations - Better value for money We relocated to Serena the following day and would not consider Maisha again. If you're seeking a charming experience in nature with serene surroundings and breathtaking views, choose Serena. Consider Maisha if spacious tents and excellent dining are your top priorities.
