In the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain beside a copse of giant acacia trees and a gently flowing natural spring, stands Amboseli Serena Lodge. With Kilimanjaro's near 6000 meter snow capped summit presiding over the landscape, the setting is unrivalled. All around the odge roams the big game that has made East Africa legendary - lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, and wildebeest. Almost nowhere else on the continent can more wild elephant be seen than in Amboseli National Park. Influencd by the native Masai architecture, the lodge is in perfect harmony with its environment. Guest rooms, individually appointed with authentic Africana and murals painted by a renowned local artist, convey a distinctive Masai Manyatta mood.

GAME VIEWING AT AMBOSELI
To many, Amboseli Serena is the very essence of African "safari" country. Your day begins with tea or coffee, before you set out for an exhilarating dawn safari drive. Game viewing is best at this time of the day. Virtually every common species of East African wildlife may be seen at Amboseli Serena including lions, giraffes, wildebeests, wart hogs, zebras, gazelles, topi, hyneas, ostrich, hippos and baboons. But, against the backdrop of the snow-capped peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro, it is the elephants that play the leading role. Amboseli National Park has the most accessible viewing of elephants anywhere in the world. It is also home to hundreds of species of wetland and wild birds.
Overlooking the sparkling swimming pool and beautiful landscaped gardens, the verandah also offers guests exceptional game viewing.
The lodge has four landcruisers which can seat 6 persons each. Game drives across the plains of Amboseli National Park are scheduled daily.
