Within these luxurious surroundings are found the most modern amenities. Views from the rooms are of Central Park to the east, and to the west, acacia groves and lush gardens. Samburu Serena Lodge Situated on the fertile banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in the center of the Samburu Game Reserve in Kenya's rugged, semi-arid Northern Province, Samburu Serena Safari Lodge echoes the robust rhythms of riverfront life. This bucolic and serene lodge was inspired by the architecture of the indigenous Samburu tribe and blends into the verdant environment by making full use of native materials. Thatched cabins built using exotic African woods create an escapist atmosphere. The surrounding terrain is renowned for rare game - long-necked gerunuk, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and Beisa oryx. Leopards are frequent passersby. The lodge has a spacious swimming pool for cooling down in the heat of the day and a special game-viewing verandah. All guest rooms have private verandas with uninterrupted vistas of the languid river and the wildlife it attracts, as well as the countless crocodiles that make the waters their home. Accommodations are cooled by breezes off the river and overhead punkah fans. The artistic interior decor of each room is directly inspired by traditions of the Samburu tribe. Mountain Lodge More info... At 7,200 feel on the slopes of Mount Kenya, Mountain Lodge is ringed by a dense rain forest which comes alive at dusk with a myriad of sounds of creatures all sizes.

Mara Serena Lodge An interpretation of a traditional Masai Manyatta village of domed huts, Mara Serena Safari Lodge is set on the saddle of a hill where it overlooks the 1,800 square kilometers of rolling plains, woodlands and rivers that make up the Masai Mara Triangle - one of the world's richest wildlife sanctuaries. No other lodge has such a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape or the game and birdlife that inhabit it. It is on this very terrain stretching endlessly before the lodge where the annual migrations take place, where millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traverse the landscape to feed on the rich new grass and give birth to their young. An architectural echo of the traditonal Maasai manyatta (village) of domed huts, the guest rooms of Mara Serena are styled and arranged to blend into the natural landscape. Every room is an individual"hut" - spread out to give each one uninterrupted views of the plains, the meandering riverine forest and the silhouetted hills beyond. |
