Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge

Stopped here for one night as part of a week long safari. The standard rooms are in two long rows and we were located in room 10. We arrived for lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive. The rooms here are lovely, each individually decorated in traditional colours with painted animals on the walls. There was plenty of storage space but like most, we were only here for one night. I would have like another but we were part of a week long safari tour and another lodge beckoned the following day. The room was clean and spacious. The only thing that didn't work well was the location of the fan, it was too far away from the bed to give any relief from the heat. We did have small USB fans which can be used with a power bank or via a plug with USB sections, so they provided some relief from the heat. The sockets in the room are same as the UK (although the sockets can accommodate other sizes but I cannot confirm what these are - you can see them on the picture of the bed). The door to the outside patio area is made of mesh (not glass). You also need to make sure the door is locked as the monkeys can and will make their way in. The Wi-Fi was good enough for our requirements. Staff were always visible and very helpful should you have any queries or problems. Dinner and breakfast times were much quieter than the previous 2 lodges. For breakfast, if you require toast, you need to ask for it - there is no toaster. Tea and coffee are also delivered to your table. The location of this lodge would be hard to beat and the views are great, especially if animals make an appearance. Outside our room, there were loads of vervet monkeys. We also had banded mongoose later in the day.

Lovely location, fabulous accommodation and food. Staff were very friendly and accommodating of dietary requirements.

We stayed for 2 nights and had an amazing time. The pool and grounds were beautiful. You can see elephants from the gardens, and one even came close to the boundary. The food here is amazing and the best of our tour, we saw lots of elephants, baboons, lions and a serval cat. The serena hotels never disappoint!

Can't beat the views and location! The rooms were fine, nothing too amazing, but the main lodge overlooks the park. You can sit and watch animals walk by in the distance. The hotel does have a pool which would be good with children. The food was fine with a good variety. Recommend for the location!

Great location in Amboseli,straight out of the gate and you can see Kilimanjaro the rooms were very hot and fan didn't cool them. The food was a buffet although you could get a freshly made stir fry or pasta. We were a group and sat outside which was lovely as you could see some wildlife. The guitarist in the evening was annoying and didn't really feel Puff the Magic dragon was appropriate for a safari lodge.

Its a 5 star Luxury tented camp inside the Amboseli National park. Rooms are very good luxurious From balcony one can do bird watching, natural green scenery Food has variety, taste and flexibility in buffet style. We even requested particular dishes everyday which they oblige and did for us and Children. Staff were good and excellent service During day and night time, you can also view animals passing from hotel Highly recommended
