Secreted deep within the Masai
Mara National Reserve, the
Mara national park Safari
Lodges are the ultimate
safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill,
embraced by arcing vistas and washed by a sea of richly
rolling grasslands, it stands centre-stage to one of
Africa’s most dramatic wildlife arenas and has a ringside
seat for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the legendary
migration of the wildebeest.
Drawing its inspiration from
the traditional Maasai
cultural motif of a cluster of domed, mud-coloured huts
encircled by a “Boma” of brushwood, the
Mara Serena offers a rare
blend of raw African splendor and sumptuous sophistication.
The essentially ethnic décor also draws on a vibrant colour-palette
of sun-burst colours, embellished by a unique selection of
Maasai art to create the
look and feel of a traditional bush encampment. The
lodge features individual
rooms, each with their own balcony and view of eternity, a
sky-blue swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant,
overlooking a water hole where a fantasia of creatures
collect to drink.
