We are just finishing 7 nights here with my wife and two children (6 and 9). We came here expecting the animals what we did to expect was the friendliness of the staff, and there love of their country with such enthusiasm to share with us. The Masai are informative and very good at keeping the few monkeys away from... More

We had a 2 night stay at this lodge and would definitely recommend it. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a car and used a hotel guide called Evans for Game drives in the morning and afternoon. He was very knowledgeable and was great at spotting the wildlife and knowing where to look. Excellent value for 10... More

Arrived at midday after an overnight flight from the UK and the usual road journey into Amboseli. Greeted with smiling staff, warm towels, cold drinks and a speedy check in. Settled in my room room in no time, then time for lunch. Time for lunch and the buffets and cooking stations are as well stocked as ever. Excellent restaurant and... More

This was the first stop on our Kenyan safari adventure. After a long drive from Nairobi we were welcomed with genuine African hospitality. Check in was prompt and we were shown to our room, which was beautifully decorated. The whole resort has an African theme and a few Masai wander around the complex. During our 3 night stay our 3...

A well run lodge, with very friendly and helpful staff. Ideally situated for the park and the place to go to see herds of elephants everywhere. A definite must is the morning nature trek with William - you come away knowing so much more and really being able to understand the workings of the park, the local Maasai community and... More

We stayed in this Lodge for 3 days in the end of a long safari experience. It was Christmas time and the hotel did everything possible to make us happy and feel the moment. There were several activities and demonstrations of local culture. Ever had a game drive early in the morning and then came back to a breakfast with... More

We were very pleased with our stay at the Amboseli Serena. It was the first night of our safari and we couldn't have been happier when we pulled into the lovely garden oasis. We were greeted with warm towels and juice...just what we needed. The service was excellent and our room was located down a lovely walkway through interestingly landscaped... More

Located in the park. The best food (excellent quality and choice) out of the 6 lodges we stayed in on our safari. Nice rooms in beautifully locally decorated bungalow with terrace in a nicely maintained garden/oasis. Lots of monkeys. A nice terrace in front of the restaurant where you can have a hot or cold drink with a view of... More

Great location of this Serena, as well as typical great food & staff make this place a super bargain in Amboseli. Really pleasant campfire in the evening. One of my guests went on a guided bird walk and really enjoyed it. Can't go wrong staying here. But - watch out for the vervet monkeys! There is usually a Maasai or... More
