MARA TRIANGLE · KENYA
_______
Mara Serena Safari Lodge
Mara Serena Safari Lodge is a distinctive luxury safari property set high on a bush-covered hill within Kenya's Mara Triangle. Its elevated position creates expansive views across the savannah and toward the Mara River, placing the drama of the Maasai Mara directly into the experience of your stay.
The lodge draws its architectural character from the circular form of a traditional Maasai manyatta. Rich colours, flowing forms and locally inspired details connect the interiors with the surrounding landscape, while contemporary facilities provide comfort after a day in the bush.
For travellers searching for luxury accommodation in the Maasai Mara, Mara Serena offers an appealing balance of location, wildlife, culture, dining and relaxation.
A remarkable luxury safari lodge overlooking the sweeping plains and Mara River in Kenya's iconic Maasai Mara.
Location
_______
In the heart of the Mara Triangle
Location is one of the defining qualities of a safari lodge. Mara Serena Safari Lodge occupies an elevated position within the Mara Triangle, overlooking one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife landscapes.
From this vantage point, the savannah extends toward the horizon while the Mara River adds another defining feature to the landscape. The setting creates a strong connection between the lodge and the wildlife ecosystem beyond it.
The Mara Triangle is particularly significant during the annual wildebeest migration, when enormous herds move through the wider Mara ecosystem. Mara Serena's elevated position provides an exceptional base from which to experience the changing rhythms of the landscape.
The lodge is therefore suited to travellers who want their accommodation to be part of the safari experience, rather than simply a place to sleep between game drives.
Accommodation
_______
Maasai-inspired rooms designed around the landscape
Comfortable interiors, private balconies and expansive views create a peaceful retreat after each day in the Mara.
Mara Serena Safari Lodge has 74 rooms, including one suite. The accommodation reflects the lodge's Maasai architectural inspiration through rich patterns, earthy colours and flowing forms.
Rooms are positioned to maximise views of the surrounding plains and Mara River. Standard rooms feature king-size or twin beds, mosquito nets, writing desks and marble bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Modern conveniences include complimentary Wi-Fi, ceiling fans and, in the Mara Suite, a television. The result is an accommodation experience that keeps you connected when necessary while allowing the landscape to remain the main attraction.
Dining at The Retreat
_______
Dining that turns every meal into a safari experience
Elegant rooms with private patios, teak details, peaked ceilings and rain showers. Ideal for a comfortable luxury stay in Kigali.
Following an early morning game drive, guests can enjoy breakfast beside the Mara River near the hippo pool. The experience includes fresh dishes and a live cooking station beneath the shade of acacia trees.
As daylight fades, the Mara becomes the setting for sundowners and atmospheric bush dinners. Guests can enjoy drinks, canapés, a campfire and open-air dining beneath the stars.
WELLNESS
_______
Slow down after the adventure
Safari can be exhilarating. Mara Serena provides space to slow down between wildlife experiences through Maisha Spa & Health Club, a gym overlooking the wild and a heated swimming pool.
Guests can enjoy wellness treatments, steam facilities and restorative moments while looking across the same landscape explored during the day's game drives.
CONSERVATION & RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
_______
A safari experience connected to the future of the Mara
The future of safari depends on protecting the landscapes that make wildlife tourism possible. Mara Serena Safari Lodge has incorporated sustainability into its operations through several initiatives.
The lodge became fully solar-powered in 2019, reducing its reliance on conventional energy sources. It also maintains a chef's garden and tree nursery, supporting a more environmentally conscious approach to lodge operations.
Guests can participate in tree-planting activities, creating an opportunity to connect their safari with a practical conservation action.
Responsible safari is ultimately about protecting wildlife, supporting communities and ensuring that future generations can continue to experience the Mara's remarkable landscapes.
