Nicely designed resort located just inside the entrance to the Amboseli Game Park. The lodge offers just about everything you would need while resting between game drives. Besides serving good food in a nice atmosphere the restaurant also has a tower where you get fantastic views of the Amboseli area and Mount Kilimanjaro.

In the heart of the amboseli national wildlife park. Great place to stage your morning and afternoon game drives. Service and personnel are par excellence! For the money you can't go wrong! Rooms look out over the savanah where you can see elephant walk by!

We stayed at the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge for a two night three day visit. I have been to Kenya 5 times and traveled to most national parks. The Serena was the nicest place I have been to yet. The grounds were beautiful and the rooms were great. The decor was genuine and tasteful. The staff was very kind and... More

I have spent a lot of time at this resort over the years. I worked with a Maasai village right next to the lodge and frequented the Serena about once a month for almost a year. This place is fabulous. From the uniquely decorated rooms to the beautiful landscape to the delicious food. I do not have one bad thing... More

Really enjoyed our time here, well positioned in the park near the entrance and good hotel layout. Great size rooms with rear verandas and lots of wildlife to watch. All meals served in the restaurant were plentiful and of a good variety. Evening Masai dancing was fun and especially enjoyed the monkeys everywhere including the pool! Would recommend this resort...

Stayed at the Safari Lodge for a few days in February and thoroughly enjoyed the location, food, service and accommodation. Very well thought out decor and facilities, but the best aspect was the helpful staff. nothing was too much trouble and a constant smile was almost part of the uniform. The layout and gardens created exactly the right ambiance, and... More

Simply put, the staff made us feel at home. well hidden by the vegetation surrounding it, it gives a cosy, private mood, as if in your own backyard. The spa treatments are relaxing and the pool well maintained. Great rooms, Great Meals, Great Service (travelled May 2011, Dec 2011)

My wife and I stayed at the Amboseli Sereni Safari Lodge 2 nights in March 2013 while on a small group safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Rarely have we ever stayed in a hotel or lodge so beautifully decorated with indigenous-inspired art: wall murals, beaded light sconces, beaded and stained glass borders on mirrors, carved door handles resembling Maasai spears,...
