Serena Mountain Lodge | Mount Kenya Lodge

Introduction

The only 'Mount Kenya Tree Lodge' ever to be built on the slopes of Kenya's legendary Mount Kenya, Serena Mountain Lodge offers a matchless game viewing opportunity whilst combining a glorious panorama of mountain vistas with the primordial splendours of an ancient rainforest. Floating 2,195 m high on the flanks of Kenya's highest mountain and secreted deep within her largest forest reserve, the lodge offers not only the champagne clarity of mountain air, the tranquillity of the forest and a colourful cavalcade of wildlife but also the chance of scaling the icy peaks of Africa's second-highest mountain.

Guests can also awake to the trumpeting of elephants, fall asleep to the symphony of the African night, sit in stillness, and observe the fascinating interplay of the animals as they arrive to drink, bathe, spar, and forage around the water hole.

Finally, venture down to the secret viewing hide by the water's edge and experience the awesome thrill of being only meters away from some of the most massive beasts on earth.

Facilities

Inside the Serena Mountain Lodge, the impression of having boarded a ship is perpetuated by a combination of log panelled walls, timbered game-viewing decks and winding stairs leading to a selection of snugly comfortable, cabin-styled rooms.

Cool, tranquil and hushed for optimum game-sightings, the open-air viewing deck looks down onto the endlessly shifting scenes of the wildlife theatre that troops and teems around the salt lick and waterhole below.

Activities

Elephant, buffalo, rhino and waterbuck are regular sights on the evening and day game drives.

At any other time of the day, you can spot game in the specially-constructed viewing bunker connected to the lodge by a short tunnel. Here you will get spectacularly close to the animals that feed at the waterhole.

Child Friendly

The Serena Mountain Lodge is located immediately adjacent to its own waterhole, attracting a wide range of game, including elephant, as such silence is imperative. For this reason, we regret that children below the age of seven cannot be accommodated at our Mount Kenya lodge.

Children over seven years will be most welcome, but we must ask that they respect our request for an atmosphere of quiet within the lodge, especially in the photo hide and on the viewing deck.
