"Olepangi …… what can I say?! What an amazing place! Having been referred to stay here on our 1st ever trip to Kenya we were a little nervous of what we would find. The website looks amazing and if was to be anything like that we would have been super chuffed. However…….it was sooooo much better!! From the very start of planning our trip the staff at Olepangi were so helpful . We were “newbies” to Kenya and they helped us right from the get go, not only for the initial booking to stay at the farm itself but taking the time to arrange all the transfers, Safari’s, trips, flights to make our stay seemless and as relaxing as possible. Naiomi was our first point of contact and she was so brilliant at getting everything sorted for us. Her communication was outstanding, responding to our questions promptly and efficiently and making any adjustments for us as we “built” our perfect trip. We were greeted by Naiomi, Desmond and Stella with flowers and welcome drinks and taken straight into the amazing open bar pool and dining area…..the views and setting blew our socks off. We instantly felt at home! Our bags were taken to our beautiful room and we were shown the way. The room was stunning, beautifully appointed and wonderfully chique. Our little veranda perfectly positioned to watch sunrise from our bed. Lunch followed and we met Elizabeth who started to whole Olepengi project over ten years ago. She is a “tour de force” and with her partner Kier, has created the most amazing environment. The rooms / houses to stay in are amazing. The farm creates almost all the food for guests on site in an organic and fully sustainable way. We were treated to a tour of the farm in the afternoon and it was so insightful as to the ethos and drive behind the whole place. From the organically grown fruit and veg, to the free range organic chickens and bees for the (amazing) on site honey. It was lovely to see. Also we were lucky enough to have arrived to see the 2 new additions to the farm…… 2 new foals, 1 was 7 days old and 1 only 3 days old……..very cute. We spent the following days visiting various safari conservancies (Ol Pejeta, Sanburu, Lolldaiga) with our driver John who was amazingly insightful , not to mention an outstanding off road driver!! Every time we returned back to Olepangi after our safari trips it was like returning to a set of open arms and friendly smiles. There was always a refreshing beer, cocktail or cuppa available to quench our perishing thirst! The food was amazing and the fact that it was all grown on the farm made mealtimes a real treat and always super tasty. In amongst the day trips there was time to chill and relax by the beautiful pool and even a couple of massages with Stella who I must thank for fixing my shoulder!! Strong hands! Elizabeth and her team have created a proper diamond in the midst of this beautiful country. She and her team have made Olepangi an amazing success and must for anyone looking to experience the bast that Keny"

"Maisha Sweetwaters Camp provides spacious graceful accommodations in a beautiful natural setting adjacent to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The pool in it's tranquil setting is the perfect place to land after the game drives. The cuisine is excellent, with selections changing daily, based on what is growing in the garden. We were at Maisha Sweetwaters for three days, and wish we had stayed longer, because the staff is so welcoming. Duncan, the manager has an eye on every detail. Jane the hostess is cheerful and and thoughtful. Nicholas took us on walks and was very informative. We remember Jonathan daily as we were so thankful to enjoy the delicious mixed tea and treats he prepared for us. Jonathan is an experienced bartender, and he made us delicious cocktails, including a special order, 'Dark and Stormy". Many thanks to everyone at Maisha Sweetwaters. We must return soon. Denise"
