Amboseli
Serena Lodge, Amboseli
In
the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain,
besides a copse of giant
 Acacia
trees and a gently flowing natural spring stands Amboseli
Serena Lodge, one of Africa's finest Lodges. With Kilimanjaro's
6,000-meter-high snow-capped peaks presiding over the landscape,
the scenery is picturesque. All around the Amboseli Serena
Lodge roam the big game that has made East Africa legendary
- lions, buffalos, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons,
gazelles and wildebeests. Amboseli National Park is a splendid
place to view elephants and this is possible, without even
leaving the lodge, one can encounter hundreds of species
of wetland and migratory birds known to the immediate area.
Influenced by native architecture, the property is in perfect
harmony with its environment. Interiors are inspired by
distinctive African design motifs. Each room is individually
appointed with authentic Africana and murals painted by
a renowned local artist.
