About this property

Discover the Kenya safari of your dreams, a vast, gently rolling landscape of acacia-specked grasslands darkened by migrating wildebeest herds. Mara Serena Safari Lodge invites you to a world where dramatic sights and experiences are enhanced by gracious service and five-star amenities. As the only safari lodge in the famed Mara Triangle, we offer a setting matched by few other hotels in the world: perched high on a bush-cloaked hill with sweeping views of the Savannah and the meandering shoreline of the Mara River. Mara Serena Safari Lodge is designed in the style of a traditional Maasai Manyatta while offering every modern comfort. Neatly arranged rows of rooms and suites are positioned to offer uninterrupted river views from private balconies. Equally breathtaking sightlines can be enjoyed from the restaurant and bar and rock-enclosed swimming pool. After a day in the bush, a steam shower and an Oringa Massage at the Maisha Spa & Gym offer an exquisite welcome back to civilization. Enjoy exhilarating excursions deep into the Masai Mara Game Reserve with activities and adventures as intrepid as you choose to be during your stay. Savor superb chef-prepared cuisine in our onsite restaurant and with unforgettable “Bush Dining” and “Sundowner” experiences. Rediscover how special family time can be with game drives, breakfasts by the hippo pool and visits to an authentic Maasai village.

    Top luxury resort in Masai triangle. The only problem is everyone has to pay park entrance fee $200 per day, no matter if you do safari. Everyday $200 per person.

    I liked that the lodge was inside the park. The staff was very personable and helpful. Special shout out to the manager Mike, our game drive guide Vivianne, our houseman Isaiah and the head chef.

    The staff made me feel like home. I travelled alone but Ann, Diana , Sylvia were so friendly with me, I did not feel lonely at all. I made friends instead. Levis exactly knew where to find all the wild animals.

    The location is perfect - right on a bluff overlooking the Masai Mara Reserve. The rooms were impeccably clean and situated so you feel like you have your own mini cabin. The game drives can be arranged right at the lodge. The air strip is 5...
