New Morani Wing At Sweetwaters Tented Camp in Kenya Officially Opened For Business

Serena Hotels is proud to announce the recent opening of their new “Morani Wing” at Sweetwaters Tented Camp in Nanyuki, Kenya. 

These eleven new tents are spacious, artistically designed and tastefully furnished keeping the needs of today’s discerning traveller in mind with provision of internet connectivity in each tent, coffee/tea making facilities, shaving mirrors and hairdryers.All tents command great views of the watering hole and Loldaiga hills with a backdrop of Mt. Kenya.  

The new wing comes complete with deluxe double, twin and triple tents as well as a deluxe tent suitable for the physically challenged - all with beautiful modern décor that complements the natural tones of the bush.

The Morani Wing has been named in honor of Morani the first black rhino to be introduced to Sweetwaters Game Reserve (now known as the Ol Pejeta Conservancy), which was opened as a Black Rhino Sanctuary in 1989. An orphan of poaching, Morani was tamed and before his death in 2008, he was the best Ambassador for all black rhino in Africa.

Sweetwaters Tented Camp is set in a private sanctuary, which is abundant with wildlife and unfettered by the more rigorous strictures of the Kenyan National Park.  The camp offers the opportunity to experience an African ecosystem unlike anywhere else.

On conservation matters, Sweetwaters achieved the Silver Eco-rating award for the continued dedication and commitment towards promoting responsible tourism. Other Serena properties that have a Silver rating are Amboseli and Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodges.
