Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
Set against the magnificent backdrop of Africa's highest mountain,
the glittering Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge enjoys a uniquely privileged position at the heart of
this world-famous national park.
Secluded within a grove of acacia trees, the lodge looks out over the golden savannah plains, with uninterrupted views
of the mountain itself. Close by are a series of emerald green swamps, which are fed by the melting snows of Kilimanjaro.
These, the only sources of water in this otherwise starkly beautiful but arid park, attract huge numbers of wallowing
elephants, hippos, buffalos and plains game. Meanwhile, from the prehistoric site of Observation Hill, the sunset over Kilimanjaro is magnificent.
At the centre of 'Maasailand', the lodge's decor reflects the brilliant primary colours and iconic shapes representative of these legendary warriors.
At the heart of the lodge, shaded by palm trees, is a free-form swimming pool; to either side of which stretch the rooms.
Each room is housed in a single storey building opening directly on to the grounds, each reflecting a Maasai manyatta theme:
each with its own hand-painted wall frescos.
The central dining area is reached by a timbered bridge over a melt-water stream, while the lounge and bar feature a broad
terrace and a blazing fire-pit where evening cocktails can be enjoyed.
