The Samburu Serena Safari Lodge is situated
on the fertile banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in Kenya's rugged,
semi-arid Northern Province.


The lodge is influenced by native Masai
architecture and decorated with natural woodcarvings, traditional
artefacts and local art.

There are also plenty of opportunities to
unwind at the lodge itself, including an afternoon spent on the veranda
watching the game pass by, taking a dip in the natural spring-fed
swimming pool or enjoying a relaxing massage.

Famous for housing Queen Elizabeth II on the
night of her ascension to the monarchy, Tree-tops Hotel offers guests a
royal treat in the heart of the Aberdare National Park.

Sarova
Lion Hill is a superior safari lodge near Lake Nakuru, in the Rift
Valley. The lodge has a swimming pool, sauna, laundry service, curio
and gift shop, conference facilities and is set on a plateau at an
elevation above Lake Nakuru.

No other Masai Mara safari lodge has such a spectacular view of the
surrounding landscape than Mara Serena Safari Lodge.

Mara Serena Lodge's 73 guest rooms are a vibrant incarnation of colors
and shapes reflecting the time-honored art of the Mara's peoples, the
Maasai.
