Mara Serena Safari Lodge
Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Mara Serena Safari Lodge is a large lodge in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, built on a hill in the style of a Maasai village and looking out across the savannah towards the Mara River.
With a pool, a spa and a wide choice of activities on site, it suits families and guests who like the comforts of a full lodge rather than a small tented camp.
On a hill in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, with views across the savannah and down to the Mara River.
Seventy-four en-suite rooms with Maasai-inspired décor, plus a Mara Suite.
Pool with river views, spa, restaurant, bar, campfire, activity desk and Wi-Fi.
Game drives, night drives, guided walks, birdwatching, balloon flights and village visits.
Activities
The lodge has an activity desk, so you can mix game drives with other outings.
Game drives and night drives
Day and night drives explore the reserve, and there is a game-viewing hide for quieter watching.
Guided walks and birdwatching
Guided walks and birdwatching add a slower pace to the day.
Escarpment hike
After a 7:30 breakfast you drive about an hour to the Ololoolo escarpment for a hike of roughly four kilometres with a 290-metre climb, then return to the lodge for lunch.
Balloon safari and village visit
A hot air balloon flight is available at extra cost, and you can arrange a visit to a Maasai village.
Access & location
The lodge is in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Most guests reach the Mara by light aircraft from Nairobi or by road, and we arrange your transfers.
