Location:

An interpretation of a traditional Masai Manyatta village of domed huts. Mara Serena Lodge is set on the saddle of a hill where it overlooks the 1,800 sq.km. of rolling plains, woodlands and rivers that make up the Masai Mara Triangle - one of the world's richest wildlife sanctuaries. No other lodge has such a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape or the game and birdlife that inhabits it.

GETTING THERE

Mara Serena Safari Lodge, located in Masai Mara National Reserve, is 325 kilometers from Nairobi - a 6 hour drive or a 50 minute flight from Nairobi airport

It is on this very terrain stretching endlessly before the lodge where the annual migrations take place, when millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traverse the landscape to feed on the rich new grass and give birth to their young.

Accommodation / Facilities:

74 Rooms. Pool. Breakfasts, cocktail parties and dinners on the terrace overlooking a water hole where big game come to feed. Hippo Pool breakfasts... Evening entertainment includes musicians, Masai dancers, wildlife films, and talks given by the resident naturalist.

The Lodge is the only property of its kind in the Mara Triangle - and, as such, its guests can be assured a high degree of privacy when enjoying their safari experience.

UNIQUE OFFERINGS AND EVENTS

A specially arranged balloon safari will lift you into the clear blue sky at dawn and give you an eagle's view of the wildlife pageant below.
