Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge

Set beneath the snow capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge is built around a spring fed oasis in the heart of Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya's best known destinations for large elephant herds. The lodge's Maasai Manyatta inspired architecture, hand painted wildlife murals and locally sourced furnishings echo the culture of the surrounding Maasai community. Its 92 rooms and one suite each include private balconies, mosquito nets, complimentary Wi-Fi and 24 hour room service, with nine sets of interconnecting rooms available for families and groups. Guests can relax at the palm shaded swimming pool, dine on Kenyan cuisine in the Maasai themed restaurant or on the terrace, and take in sundowners and bush breakfasts with the mountain as a backdrop. Game drives across the park's open plains and swamps, guided nature walks, birding and a spa complete the experience, with Observation Hill nearby offering some of the best views over the marsh and its resident elephants.
