Mara Serena Safari Lodge

great rooms and service

Number one the pictures online do not do this place justice!!! it's simply an amazing place... from the views and rooms to the staff the food did I say views... from every place you sit, stand walk around the views are simply awesome!! This was my first time to the Mara however in talking to other guests some had told me that they have been to the Mara 8 times and this place was simply the best ever.. so for me I know know no better however I can't wait to get back to this place... I only stayed 2 days I really needed to stay 4.. and I will next time for sure!

The location is absolutely unique and amazing, settled on a hill with panoramic views of the Maasai Mara plains, from each room. I was able to observe Elephant herds, Giraffes, Buffaloes, Warthogs from my room. What impressed me the most, was the frendliness and professionalism of the staff. They made me feel very welcome every minute of the stay. I approached the desk with a few requests (e.g. to change my room) and all of them were solved without hesitation to my full satisfaction.

We recently stayed for 11 nights at Mara Serena Lodge. My husband and I were self driving and did not have the benefit of a guide to help with things. Duncan, the manager, went above and beyond to assist with anything we needed. He worked tirelessly to help with internet issues, patiently answered all our questions, and was genuinely interested in making sure our stay was as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. The lodge was very clean and all staff wore masks, which we appreciated. Dining area was spotless and food was very good. Thanks to Bernard and Eric, our dining attendants, Michael, for his music and good humor, and every person there for their warmth and friendliness. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend Mara Serena.

We had a great time at the hotel. The rooms are very well maintained, the staff was extremely attentive and our game drives were GREAT! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Special thanks to Vivian and Benjamin to their amazing service!

Stayed in August after re-opening with covid. Masks must be worn at all times, food served to you from buffet, temperature checks when entering and hand washing facilities. Unfortunately some light fingered person(s) decided to ransack our car, they only took sweets but not pleasant to have your bags and clothes turned inside out.

Lovely location ad fantastic views. Welcoming staff.

The staff was excellent. Amenities great. The room could have been little better; NO AIR CONDITIONING, NO TV. NO SCREENS. Staff & services excellent

Best view in the world! Enjoy the vista, elephants, and giraffes from the pool or your hotel window. Staff couldn’t be more kind and accommodating. Safari wildlife is maybe best in the world. I’ve been twice now and both times managed to see the “big 5” plus many elephants, giraffes, and warthogs etc. I also recommend the village tour! Our guide John really showed us a good time while educating us about his family and culture. Food (considering the distance from a grocery store etc) is excellent! Plenty of fruits and vegetables- plus delicious carnivore options too. Love this place and can’t wait to visit again with my parents.

I did not like the staff in the dining room ingroreing me on the last day at breakfast
