Samburu Serena Safari Lodge

The Samburu Serena Safari Lodge is located in the centre of the Samburu National Reserve, a semi-arid, open savannah plain broken by small rugged hills in Kenya's Northern Province.

Situated on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River with its crocodiles and leopards, the lodge is rustic yet sophisticated and captures the robust rhythms of riverside life. The lodge is renowned for the timeless beauty of its landscape and the serene tranquillity of its setting.

Game drives and bird-watching safaris are extra special at Samburu as the nature reserve is renowned for a range of rare game - Reticulated giraffe, the endangered Grevy's zebra, the long-necked gerenuk and Beisa orynx. There are also over a hundred species of birds including the blue-shanked Somali ostrich. Large herds of elephant roam the gaunt hills during the day before returning to bathe on the banks of the river in the evening.

The lodge boasts 62 rooms, including eight family rooms and a superb swimming pool surrounded by thatched umbrellas and native trees. Making full use of native materials and artwork, blending perfectly with the environment, all guest rooms are located in wooden thatched cottages surrounded by lush gardens. Each cottage has a private verandah overlooking the river so that the crocodiles can be seen feeding.

Activities on offer include camel safaris, champagne breakfasts and cocktail parties overlooking Crocodile Point, moonlit dinners in the bush or beside the river, tribal dance performances, bird watching walks with a qualified naturalist and expert slide shows and lectures on the surrounding area.
