This was our very first lodge on our week long safari in Kenya and my what a beautiful place to start. The communal areas are a joy, with a lounge/restaurant area and tea and coffee available all day. Our room was so sweet with mozzie nets and a cute little bathroom. The pool was wonderful, however there are some unusual... more

Our room overlooked the river with crocs basking within yards! Don't miss the croc feeding in the evening when it is done and experience the awesome power of their jaws as they take the bait. The bar is attractive overlooking the river and a pleasant place to relax and unwind - try the Samburu Special, a non-alcoholic fruit cocktail and... more

My wife and I travelled to kenya in late August and one of the three game parks we visited was Samburu and stayed at the Serena Lodge. We found the lodge to be extremely comfortable and had a real holiday lodge feel to it. Nicely blended into the surrounding landscape. Plenty of food and choice and probably the best food... more

The hotel is a series of duplex units with private front patio opening onto the [dry] river. The main activity area is the expansive pool and undercroft games area and upstairs is a really classy dining, buffet and bar. The architects and designers got this place right. It is entirely 'of its environment' reflecting its surroundings, and so comfortable and... more

My family and i stayed at this hotel in August of this year for two nights whilst on a Safari in Kenya. We stayed in several Serena Hotels and found them all to be wonderful with beatiful food, friendly and welcoming staff and a fantastic atmosphere! The Samburu is an amazing hotel. We had monkeys on our balcony daily and... more

We flew into the Samburu airstrip where the Serena staff were waiting for us and were quickly driven to the lodge and met in reception with a welcome drink. The staff could not have been more helpful with the room allocation and the food was excellent. Our driver (Yasin) was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and showed us some... more
