Mara Serena

Mara Serena Safari Lodge rises above the Maasai Mara like a hillside village carved into the landscape, designed to echo the curves and colors of the surrounding savanna. From its elevated position, the lodge commands wide views over the Mara plains and the winding Mara River, placing guests at the center of one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife ecosystems. The architecture draws inspiration from traditional Maasai forms, creating a strong sense of place without sacrificing modern comfort.

Rooms are arranged along terraced levels that blend into the hillside, each opening toward panoramic vistas where wildlife moves freely below. The design emphasizes light, space, and connection to the outdoors, with private balconies that invite long pauses between game drives. Public areas include expansive viewing decks and an infinity pool that seems to merge with the plains beyond, reinforcing the feeling that the lodge is part of the landscape rather than separate from it.

The Mara Serena experience balances accessibility with immersion. Its location offers direct access to year-round resident wildlife and the dramatic spectacle of the Great Migration when the herds pass through. After a day on the plains, guests return to a lodge that feels vibrant yet relaxed, where sunset colors wash across the valley and the rhythm of the Mara continues long after nightfall.
