Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Situated in a prime location in the Masai Mara, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge sits high above the sprawling savanna, presenting an architectural twist to other lodges in the area and offering breathtaking views. Inspired by the design of a Masai settlement or “Manyatta”, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge offers outstanding service and quality safari experiences in one of Kenya’s prime game reserves.

The main building comprises a large dining area with rounded walls and archways, opening up to a deck that boasts an inviting pool and deck chairs. Pathways on either side of this area lead to stand-alone rooms, which continue the Manyatta design throughout.

The Serena standard of excellence is present through attentive staff and attention to detail, from the positioning of the rooms to the bountiful cuisine on offer at meal times. Safaris are a key focus and qualified guides attend to guests’ safari needs with enthusiasm.

Location

Set on top of a bush-covered hilltop in the well-known Mara Triangle and boasting a breathtaking landscape of savanna as far as the eye can see, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is most notably set in the perfect position to enjoy a safari in the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve.

The banks of the Mara River can be seen in the distance with the wide open landscape creating a tranquil ambience far from cities and crowds. Take a flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport and in under two hours, you can find yourself in a rural bush setting in the middle of Mara.

Rooms / Tents

Tradition meets modern luxury in each of the 74 rooms set in a step-style layout, each offering incredible views over open plains from their balcony.

Colorful swirls of yellow, dark oranges and browns pattern the walls, inspired by true Masai art form, with a small desk and en-suite bathroom completing the charming room.

For that little something special, consider upgrading to the Mara Suite which boasts two balconies, a dedicated butler and a beautiful bathroom with tub and shower.

Every room comes with a mosquito net over the comfortable bed with ceiling fans for those warm nights.

Game Viewing / Activities

Game drives and safari walks take place in the iconic Masai Mara, home to the “Big Five” and so many other incredible wildlife. Safari vehicles are mostly 4x4s with pop up roofs, offering visitors the chance to stand up and gaze out over open savannas and rocky outcrops as you search for animals. Take a break from your morning drive as you get a chance to admire hippos from a distance while savoring a delicious breakfast alongside the banks of the Mara river.

Discover the magic of the Mara as you pass waterholes, over undulating hills and circle trees and bushes in search of predators hoarding their kill. Track spoor along dusty roads and marvel at the number of elephants, lions, wildebeest and zebra you will see during your game experience. With two migration crossing points nearby, the Serena Mara Lodge is perfectly located from which to witness this once in a lifetime wildlife spectacle.

Adventure-seekers can enjoy a hike along the Oloololo Escarpment located on the western boundary of the Mara triangle. Walk in the footsteps of World War 1 German soldiers during this three-hour round trip experience that will take you around jagged outcrops, along rocky slopes and past thick vegetation lining the edge of the escarpment. Embark on a hot air balloon safari, admiring the wealth of wildlife below.

Adventure In The Wild Safaris welcomes you to experience this unforgettable safari lodge, combining breathtaking views, authentic design, and thrilling wildlife encounters in the heart of the Masai Mara.
