The Southern Comfort Safari

Here for a 2 night stay. Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge is a magical accommodation set in Amboseli National Park renowned for its elephant families and marshland birds. Bungalow style rooms set in stunning gardens with far reaching views over the Park. Simply furnished rooms with very comfortable beds and a bathroom housing all the essentials. The staff here were all polite and friendly, many are from the Maasai tribe . The restaurant and dining spaces all have authentic Kenyan artwork on the walls and the furnishings are traditional. A fine array of food options with lots of authentic dishes. Essentially a self serve buffet. Chefs on hand to prepare fresh pasta and other meals if required. A highlight was the bush barbecue.. amazing 8 course menu prepared and eaten outside under the stars. Highly recommend this experience. The private games drives were organised in house. This really is a very special accommodation, animals and nature are on the doorstep. Definitely one to experience.

This is truly a dream location we left Nairobi and travelled by train to Emali where we were picked up by the wonderful Joseph Our driver and guide for our visit. A wonderful welcome drink at reception at one of only 2 resorts in the reserve. We were shown to our beautiful room looking straight out onto the plains. The rooms are beautifully decorated in fact the entire camp is covered with stunning native artwork. The Maasai warriors protecting the camp and guests from some of the not so shy monkeys were kind warm and happy to share stories of their tribal culture and history. We enjoyed time relaxing by the beautiful pool and could actually see elephant walking by. The Lodge and gardens are serene and beautiful all the staff are very helpful courteous and friendly. Food in the restaurant is varied and excellent. With dishes to suit all tastes. Again helpful friendly chefs are around to tell you about the different food and a station where they cook for you. The game drives were amazing sunset sunrise we saw elephant so many and so close lions and many many more. Stunning views of Kilimangaro in the mornings. On our last evening we enjoyed the fabulous bush barbecue delicious food cooked right there under the stars and finished with beautiful singing and dancing of the Maasai . We collected some lovely souvenirs at the gift shop and had a delicious lunch box organised for our departure. This is a truly magical place for its location surroundings and excellent facilities most of all for the people the make the experience. I would definitely return and recommend staying here.
