OverviewMagnificent scenery, rich and varied wildlife, an insight into the Maasai culture and the beautiful Indian Ocean – all combine to make this 13-day adventure a truly memorable safari holiday. Amboseli National Park, nestled at the foot of Kilimanjaro is in fact a very fragile ecosystem dependent of seasonal variances as rain in scarce in the area. Undoubtedly it still remains ever so popular amongst safari seekers with one of the most classic and breathtaking views. After spending 2 nights in this pristine park, head for Tsavo West National Park. In contract, this park is replenished by millions of gallons of fresh crystal-clear waters from the underground Mzima Springs, a haven for elephants, hippo and a host of antelope and giraffe wandering the banks. The underwater glass tank provides remarkable sightings. Also a birdwatchers paradise, the lush foliage of the escarpment of nearby Ngulia Hills brings thousands of migrant birds from as far as St. Petersburg. Then it’s off to Mombasa on the Kenyan coast where some of the best beaches in Africa beckon you. Here you can opt to indulge in numerous activities or simply do nothing but relax and soak up the warm rays of the sun. No safari in Kenya is complete without a visit to Kenya’s finest game reserve – the Maasai Mara. With its open savannahs and rolling grasslands it offers a dazzling array of wildlife. In all, this safari will ensure that you have experienced the best of the Kenyan heart and soul.

Accommodations
Nairobi Serena Hotel
LOCATION - Considered by many to be Nairobi’s finest hotel, the Serena stands amidst lush tropical gardens with panoramic views over Nairobi’s Central Park and the glittering downtown skyline.

Amboseli Serena Lodge
Location: The Amboseli Serena Lodge is in a prime location in Kenya. Built under the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Lodge offers views of the legendary East African plains as well as the largest peak in Africa, at over 6000 metres tall.
Built in the fashion of traditional Maasai architecture, the Amboseli Serena Lodge offers the unparalleled combination of comfort, traditional style, and breathtaking scenery. All 96 rooms come with either a view of the enigmatic Mount Kilimanjaro or the expansive East African plains, teeming with all the big game you can imagine. Each room is decorated with murals pained by a local artist, keeping with the traditional motif. Every week, the Lodge puts on a traditional African feast, accompanied by Maasai locals sharing their cultural songs and dance. While enjoying the lovely meal, you’ll also have an excellent view of game coming in for a drink at the nearby watering hole.
Kilanguni Serena Lodge
LOCATION – The first lodge ever to be built in a Kenyan National Park, Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge is superbly situated in the lee of Mount Kilimanjaro, encircled by volcanic splendour, adjacent to a teeming water hole and daily visited by vast herds of elephant, buffalo and plains game.
Inspirationally positioned so that not only all the rooms but also the open-air restaurant, timbered game-viewing decks and rock-built bar enjoy uninterrupted views of the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro, the lodge also stands central to miles of lion-stalked grasslands, elephant-studded plains and wildlife-teeming bush and is ideally placed for visits to all the park’s prime attractions. Faced in volcanic stone and utilising the natural rocky outcrops of a valley known as ‘the place of the young rhino’, from which it takes its name, the lodge has been designed to blend chameleon-like into the savannah landscape. Cool, tranquil and hushed for optimum game-viewing the open-air dining area, timbered decks and rock-hewn bar blend the traditional “khaki-and-canvas” look with bright-painted banners, sepia-hued paintings and evocative olive-wood carvings of elephant herds and tail-erect wart hogs. The elegantly renovated rooms draw on a sun-gold, sky-blue and bush-green savannah colour palette and have been so styled to provide world-class luxury and a quintessential African aura whilst featuring private verandas with views of eternity.
Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel
LOCATION – The hotel is 18 kilometers north of the city of Mombasa and 30 kilometers from the airport. The hotel shuttle bus provides guests with transport between the hotel, town centre and the airport
Syled to resemble a 13th century Swahili town complete with winding lanes, carved balconies, fountained courts and bustling market squares, the Serena Beach Hotel provides an oasis of tranquillity whilst delivering a unique mix of high-action water sports, sybaritic sun worship, world-class cuisine and vibrant nightlife. Set back from the powder-white sands and shimmering waters of the Mombasa National Marine Park, the hotel décor blends the time-honoured intricacy of Swahili carving with the jewelled glow of Arabian lanterns, the white-gleaming splendour of a Sultan’s palace and the lotus-cool of a Persian water garden. The extensive coconut-palm cooled grounds offer an exotic mix of tropical trees and bright blossoms and centre on an idyllic sky-blue swimming pool with a thatched ‘swim-up’ bar and crystal waters that cascade into the tiled coolness of the market square below.
.
Mara Serena Lodge
LOCATION – Secreted deep within the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination.
