In
the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, besides
a copse of giant Acacia trees and a gently flowing natural spring
stands Amboseli Serena Lodge, one of Africa's finest Lodges. With
Kilimanjaro 6,000-meter-high snow-capped peaks presiding over the
landscape, the scenery is picturesque.
All around the Amboseli Serena Lodge
roam the big game that has made East Africa legendary - lions,
buffalos, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons, gazelles and
wildebeests. Amboseli National Park is a splendid place to view
elephants. And without even leaving the lodge, one can encounter
hundreds of species of wetland and migratory birds known to the
immediate area.
Influenced by native architecture, the
property is in perfect harmony with its environment. Interiors are
inspired by distinctive African design motifs. Each room is
individually appointed with authentic Africana and murals painted by
a renowned local artist.
