Useful information about Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp before you book

"Uniquely situated on the shoreline of sapphire-blue Lake Elmenteita where hundreds of thousands of birds congregate, the small and exclusive Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp in Kenya invites guests to experience an immersive and intimate 5 star safari experience. This area of breathtaking beauty, also home to many rare species of animals, is less than two hours' drive from Nairobi and just a short distance to the famous Flamingo filled Lake Nakuru.  Evocatively styled to echo the area's rich history, our safari camp blends aristocratic elegance with modern luxury and offers cuisine and service of fittingly high standards.

The nomadic Maasai had passed through the area for centuries and the name Elmenteita derives from the Maasai Ol muteita for “place of dust”.  Then in 1897 one of the first pioneers arrived, after walking over 1,000 km south from Berbera on the coast of Somalia. 


With a stay at Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp in Nakuru, you'll be 6.5 mi (10.5 km) from Lake Elmenteita and 11.3 mi (18.2 km) from Lake Nakuru National Park. This luxury lodge is within the region of Lake Ol’ Bolossat and Lake Naivasha.

Make yourself at home in one of the 25 guestrooms. Rooms have private patios.

Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Private bathrooms with showers feature hair dryers and bathrobes.

Featured amenities include a business center, dry cleaning/laundry services, and a 24-hour front desk. Free self parking is available onsite.

The property location is stunning, with flamingos visibile from the communal areas, and the suite of rooms was amazing too.

Staff provided exceptional customer service and took really good care of the two senior citizens in our group. We were given rooms close to the dining area which was much appreciated. When the staff realised the limited mobility of one of us, they made provisions for our car to come in through a different entrance so that she did not have to walk up and down to the main car park as the pathway was a bit steep for her - and this was very much appreciated.

We were also provided with a delicious packed breakfast which we all enjoyed.

While we enjoyed the incredible hospitality and customer service, we were rather dismayed to discover that our guide could not stay at Lake Elmenteita Serena Lodge during our stay as there is no accommodation provided for them. Had we known this, we would have stayed elsewhere.
Since our party included two senior citizens, both suffering from mobility and health issues, it caused them a great deal of stress that our guide would not be around should any emergency arise. Guides provide an essential service for the country’s tourism industry, as without them we would not be able travel around the country or bring business to hotel groups such as Serena.
We raised this issue with Serena's management following our stay and they have assured us that if given advance notice, they will provide accomadation for guides.
