Morani’s Restaurant Sweetwaters is located at the Morani Information Centre at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and is named in honor of Ol Pejeta’s most famous ambassador (Rhino). It is a family-run restaurant perfectly located halfway stop during an adventure-packed day of safari and activities. Morani’s Restaurant is open daily from 0800 hours to 1630 hours and serves a mouth-watering variety of African and Western dishes.

Enjoy the Morani burger – made from grass-fed beef, oozing with cheese, topped with bacon with a side of homemade fries. For a light lunch, one can opt for a crisp healthy salad, or a wrap to eat on the go. Kids are catered for too.

The restaurant also does takeaway sandwiches for picnics, frozen meals for campers, and sundowner packs for those epic African sunsets without the logistics.
