We stayed at the lodge for two nights at the start of our Safari. The lodge was in an excellent location. The rooms were very comfortable and were of a reasonable size. The bed was a good size and again comfortable. There was a Mosquito net around the bed and also some spray in the bathroom to kill unwanted bugs.... more

I was very impressed with this lodge. After a long drive from Nairobi it was a lovely drive in the reserve to the lodge. On the way in we saw a family of elephants right on the road in front of us - perfect. The lounge fits in well with its surroundings with the local Samburu tribe symbols on the... more

This was our very first lodge on our week long safari in Kenya and my what a beautiful place to start. The communal areas are a joy, with a lounge/restaurant area and tea and coffee available all day. Our room was so sweet with mozzie nets and a cute little bathroom. The pool was wonderful, however there are some unusual... more

It is entirely 'of its environment' reflecting its surroundings, and so comfortable and... more

We stayed at the Samburu Serena Safari Lodge for 2 nights in the beginning of August. The country currently suffers from a drought and the riverbed was completely dry. However, we still saw plenty of wildlife around. Samburu is the only place where you can see the reticulated giraffe and the grevy zebra. There are plenty of baboons and don't... more
