Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
In the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, beside a copse of giant acacia trees and a gently flowing natural spring, stands Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge. With Kilimanjaro's near 19,340 foot snow-capped summit presiding over the landscape, the setting is unrivalled. All around the lodge roams the wildlife that has made East Africa legendary: lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, and wildebeest. Influenced by native Maasai architecture, the lodge is in perfect harmony with its environment. Beautifully-landscaped gardens, excellent guest services and exceptional amenities enhance the distinctive ambience. The uniquely constructed Ivory Class guest rooms, 96 in total, with en-suite bathrooms, individually-appointed with authentic Africana and murals painted by a renowned local artist, convey a distinctive Maasai Manyatta motif. Grouped in the manner of a Maasai village, each room enjoys a view of either majestic Mount Kilimanjaro or the expansive Amboseli plains which are home to herds of elephant that feed on the large, feathery acacia trees. Overlooking the saltlick and floodlit waterhole, the open-air dining room serves guests sumptuous international menus, buffets and barbecues alongside authentic African dishes. A full service bar and refreshing outdoor pool are some of the other luxuries one is expected to find at this lodge.
