Samburu Serena Safari Lodge
Location: The Samburu Serena Safari Lodge is located in the centre of the Samburu Game 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.
Making full use of native materials and
artwork, blending in perfectly with the environment, all guest rooms are located
in wooden thatched cottages surrounded
by lush gardens. Each cottage has aprivate verandah overlooking the river so that the
crocodiles can be seen feeding.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, Grevy’s zebra, the long-necked gerenuk and the Beisa oryx. There are also over a hundred species of birds including the Somali ostrich.The hotel boasts 62 rooms, including eight family rooms and a superb swimming pool surrounded by thatched umbrellas and native trees.
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.
