For those dedicated to the reduction of global warming and the preservation of our planet for generations to come, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge makes the ideal eco-accommodation. The only lodge to be located within the world-famous Mara Triangle of the Masai Mara National Reserve, it enjoys prime position and stands centre-stage to the impressive theatre of the wild. Built high on a hill, its rooms promise long views over the plains and easy access to the Mara River where the local hippos provide a backdrop to the ever-popular Hippo Breakfast. In concept, the lodge has been styled to echo the distinctive building-style of the Maasai people while the interior décor draws heavily on traditional Maasai motifs and colours.
The lodge also promises an impressive eco-pedigree. In the first instance it is 100% solar-powered thanks to the installation of its own solar farm, secondly it uses water only from its own borehole. As one might expect, the lodge also adherers to a rigorous regime with regard to the minimal use of water, chemicals, lights, energy and plastic. Also, to the eco-compliant disposal of effluent and waste. Wherever possible, the lodge sources food from the local farms. It also works with local pig farmers in the disposal of non-consumed food.
Long committed to the greening of the Mara, the lodge promotes an impressive tree-planting programme. Tens of thousands of indigenous trees have been planted just outside the Mara Triangle and many more in the Isokon area. The lodge also works closely with local schools in the planting of indigenous trees. Latterly the lodge has also embarked on a fascinating programme devoted to the replanting of the endangered African cycad genus Encephalartos.
Dedicated towards maintaining the pristine character of the Reserve, the lodge cooperates twice-monthly with the local community to carry out a litter-collection drive. The staff also participate in a number of wildlife censuses in cooperation with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Mara Conservancy. Recent census work has included that of the counting cheetah and rhino.
As part of its pan-ecological programme, the lodge is committed to a carefully calibrated policy of community development designed to promote the Maasai culture, integrate with the local community and provide health and educational services. 34% of the staff are drawn from the local area while the local Isokon Primary School enjoys significant support from the lodge. Examples of this support include the drilling of a well for the school, the provision of major water storage tanks, the setting up of a vegetable garden to provide fresh vegetables for the children’s lunch, and the general provision of beds, clothing, shoes and classrooms. In partnership with the Lions School organization and the Aga Khan Foundation, the lodge has also provided a library for the school which is stocked with over 100 story books in local languages. The library is allied to a more extensive programme dedicated towards promoting literacy and early childhood development.
Isokon Primary School is not the only educational facility to work with the lodge which also works to support the local Maasai Educational Centre. This facility provides training across a broad range of disciplines designed to provide viable futures for the local youth. The lodge enhances the educational reach of the Centre by offering internships to the students many of which lead to employment within the lodge itself. The lodge also works to support the local Kini Children’s Home and Rescue Centre by providing food and equipment; also, by inviting the children to perform at their Christmas events – for which they are rewarded with monetary support for the Kini projects, as well as a Christmas dinner and Christmas presents.
With regard to the promotion of the Maasai Culture and the financial support of the Maasai Community, the lodge works closely with the local community by promoting guest-visits to the villages of Enkerreri, El Kinye, Hard Rock and Enkutoto. The proceeds of these visits go direct to the community and are used in such initiatives as the building of schools, the sinking of wells and the provision of health services. Similarly, the lodge employs a group of Maasai dancers who perform for events such as celebrations, conferences or weddings. The lodge also stages authentic Maasai weddings and provides a space for local women to stage a craft market by the lodge’s pool. Finally, on Boxing Day annually, the lodge works with the community to stage a grand Maasai Festive Ceremony that showcases the Maasai culture in all its many facets.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Making a difference one turtle at a time! 🐢🌊
Our sea turtle conservation program at Serena Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa has been protecting nests for 30 years, with 577 nests secured and 63,809 hatchlings released into the Indian Ocean. Our program has even turned former poachers into protectors, all thanks to monetary incentives and education.

Did you know that cheetahs are early risers, just like us? 🐾 These visual hunters prefer to hunt during the early morning and late afternoon hours, when the sun casts a stunning golden light on the African savannah. When they're not on the hunt, they love to climb 'playtrees' or termite mounds to get a better view of their surroundings 🌳
Join us at Serena Hotels and witness the beauty of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Story time: Fast Friends 🐘🐘
Did you know that male elephants are typically chased away from their herds when they hit puberty and often go on to roam by themselves?
Every so often, the stranded boys bump into one another and either acquaint themselves or remember each other if they had met before or came from the same herd.
When this happens, sometimes they decide to roam around together for a few days at most before they go their separate ways. Looks like these young gentlemen made fast friends 🐘

A Puff adder is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. The snake got its name from the way it inflates itself accompanied with a his sound whenever it senses danger. When provoked,it forms an 'S' sign ready to attack . If it bites, the cytotoxic venom it releases spreads leading to swelling, pain, blisters and tissue damage.
2022 FOREST CHALLENGE IN KEREITA FOREST
This past weekend the Serena Hotels team participated in the 8th edition of The Forest Challenge for some fun and play in nature but more imporatntly, help in the conservation of trees and forests by planting indegenous trees.
The Forest challenge is an initiative spearheaded by East Africa Wildlife Serice, @Kenya Forest Service and KENVO that brings together individuals and corporates to conserve forests through adventure sports. Funds raised in the event will be used to rehabilitate degraded forest areas in Aberdare and Mau Forest ecosystems.

update on our favorite Cheetah Risasi and her three cubs from the #masaimara.
Risasi has moved her growing cubs to the south of the Triangle, an area between Salt Lake and Military Bridge. There are plenty of Thomson’s gazelles here to hunt and fewer lions to contend with. The cubs are now about six months old, looking very big and with every passing sighting, we see their chances of survival multiply.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to book your end of year holiday getaway to any of our Kenyan and Tanzanian properties. We have amazing holiday deals just for you. Stay tuned for more details!!

We are always keen to support the local communities where we are situated.
Amboseli has in the recent months been afflicted by the worst drought since 2009 with no rain experienced in the year so far. This drought has not only affected the cattle with little to nothing to feed on, but the Maa community as well.
Because of an exceptionally close relationship between Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge and the 20 villages that lie in its vicinity, the lodge reached out to it's suppliers and partners to join in on a food drive that will go a long way in sustaining families. And the response has been profound!

The Ngorongoro Crater
When people plan for their bucket list adventure in Tanzania, Serengeti National Park always comes to mind first. Sure there is the great migration and the Lion King setting, both which make a strong case why ditching Serengeti is not an option. But Tanzania has so much more to offer and would not be right to miss out on them. Particularly the renowned Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
A world Heritage site since 1979, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area’s biggest feature is the crater famous for being the largest inactive and intact volcanic caldera in the world! The area is also home to a wide range of globally threatened species like the rhino and elephants, incredibly dense wildlife and the original inhabitants of this area, the Maasai tribe.
Very few moments in life rival an afternoon spent on a game drive at the Lake Manyara National Park along the African Rift Valley. The scenery is unrivaled. The Wildlife awe inspiring. The spacious plains and soda lakes extend across the valley floor surrounded by densely forested mountains on all sides.
Lose yourself to this ancient African landscape.

Standing on the equator line at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet, just a short drive away from Serena Sweetwaters Camp 🌍
Here's a fun little trick to try while you're there: float a small twig in a container of water and assume three positions.
1. North of the equator line: the twig will rotate clockwise
2. South of the equator line: the twig will rotate counter clockwise
3. Above the equator line (directly on top of it): the twig will float but not rotate at all
This is called the The Coriolis effect. Cue The Simpsons, S06E16 🤭

#travelphotography The Ngorongoro Crater
When people plan for their bucket list adventure in Tanzania, Serengeti National Park always comes to mind first. Sure there is the great migration and the Lion King setting, both which make a strong case why ditching Serengeti is not an option. But Tanzania has so much more to offer and would not be right to miss out on them. Particularly the renowned Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
A world Heritage site since 1979, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area’s biggest feature is the crater famous for being the largest inactive and intact volcanic caldera in the world! The area is also home to a wide range of globally threatened species like the rhino and elephants, incredibly dense wildlife and the original inhabitants of this area, the Maasai tribe.

Very few moments in life rival an afternoon spent on a game drive at the Lake Manyara National Park along the African Rift Valley. The scenery is unrivaled. The Wildlife awe inspiring. The spacious plains and soda lakes extend across the valley floor surrounded by densely forested mountains on all sides.
Lose yourself to this ancient African landscape.
East. West. North. South.

We are always keen to support the local communities where we are situated.
Amboseli has in the recent months been afflicted by the worst drought since 2009 with no rain experienced in the year so far. This drought has not only affected the cattle with little to nothing to feed on, but the Maa community as well.
Because of an exceptionally close relationship between Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge and the 20 villages that lie in its vicinity, the lodge reached out to it's suppliers and partners to join in on a food drive that will go a long way in sustaining families. And the response has been profound!
A special thank you to Brookside Dairy and Hass Petroleum for answering the call and your support!

🌏 Earth Hour is one of the largest grass roots movement for the environment. Every year millions of people take part in doing their bit in saving the environment and nature. Serena Hotels also played its vital role by turning off the lights for one hour in its Hotels. In each city, management and staff members dutifully dimmed the hotel lights and observed an ode to the environment. Guests also readily took part in this initiative. We hope to conquer a healthy environment for our offsprings by doing our bit in this lifetime.

Did you know that Maki-zushi gets its name from the mat?
The ingredients for making maki-zushi or sushi rolls are chosen by masters so that taste, texture, and even colours complement each other. The bamboo mat that gives sushi rolls their cylindrical shape is called a makisu in Japan.
Interesting? Head to Wild Rice in Islamabad Serena Hotel to devour delicious sushi prepared by our expert chefs.
