Located on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in the center of the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya's rugged semi-arid Northern Province is Samburu Serena Lodge. A landscape of endless skies, dust-red plains and palm-fringed rivers, this refreshingly rustic lodge is renowned for the timeless beauty of its landscape and the serene tranquility of its setting. A lodge that epitomizes the robust rhythms of African riverfront life. With Mount Kenya looming in the horizon, the landscape is home to a variety of rare game, and is also inhabited by hundreds of different bird species.

Inspired by the architecture of the indigenous Samburu tribe, the lodge blends into its natural environment by adopting the use of native materials. Thatched cabins built using exotic African woods offer a relaxing atmosphere.

All guest rooms have private verandas with uninterrupted vistas of the languid river and the wildlife it attracts, as well as the countless crocodiles that make the waters, their home.

Located some 320km North of the Nairobi, within the Samburu community - pastoralists, the lodge is also strategically located for visits to the neighboring parks of Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserve.
