About Amboseli Serena Lodge

Comfy family-friendly lodge with unrivalled views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Right in the heart of Masaailand, in the centre of the recently designated international biosphere that is Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, lies Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge. While the lodge has a bit of a commercial vibe to it as opposed to the smaller safari lodges, its comfortable and rates are reasonable. The lodge is family-friendly and offers babysitting services and family rooms. And, of course, guests have the opportunity to spot some serious wildlife, including the Big Five. It's not the sexiest of accommodation options, but it's a solid base for a safari trip.

Property details

The property

This is definitely more like a hotel or resort and is less intimate than a safari lodge. The main area houses a curio shop and conference centre, and the comfy lounge and bar area opens up on to a veranda with a fire pit. Buffet breakfast and lunch and a set-menu dinner is served in the communal dining room, reached via a wooden bridge. There is a free-form pool and a sun deck in the centre of the grounds.

The rooms

The views of Africa's highest mountain in the background is almost enough to make one look past the somewhat dated facilities. Not that guests will want for anything (except maybe air con instead of fans) - the 92 rooms are kitted out with large bed with an overhanging mosquito net, en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, and each has a private veranda. The decor is Masaai-inspired and not over the top. The rooms are either garden-facing or plains-facing; your request which you prefer.

Activities

There are two game drives every day, as well as guided nature and bird-watching walks, bush breakfasts and dining, sundowners, and cultural tours to local villages. Guests are entertained at dinner by Masaai dance performances and a resident guitarist provides live music. For those needing to relax and unwind there is an on-site spa, and kiddies (and adults) can entertain themselves with a range of board games.
