Mara Serena Safari Lodge sits high on Ol Donyo Oseiya, a bush-covered hill overlooking the wide plains of the Masai Mara. It is the only lodge located within the 510-square-kilometer Mara Triangle. As a result, guests enjoy sweeping, uninterrupted views of the savannah and the meandering Mara River below. The lodge’s circular design draws inspiration from traditional Maasai manyattas. Naturally, it blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape. At Glitzy Safaris, we regard this lodge as one of the most iconic vantage points for experiencing the Mara.
Comfort With a View
The lodge features 74 rooms, including one suite. Each room is carefully positioned to capture sweeping views of the river and plains. Swirling motifs inspired by traditional Maasai artistry decorate every space. Rooms offer king-size or twin beds, mosquito netting, and marble bathrooms with walk-in showers. Modern comforts such as complimentary Wi-Fi and ceiling fans round out the experience. Meanwhile, daily game drives bring guests close to lions, elephants, and cheetahs. During season, the Great Migration itself passes nearby. After a day on safari, guests can unwind at the rock-enclosed swimming pool. Alternatively, a signature Oringa massage awaits at the Maisha Spa. Many guests simply relax and watch the sunset from Lookout Hill, the lodge’s renowned sundowner spot.
Dining and Hospitality
The lodge’s Maasai-inspired restaurant serves chef-prepared cuisine with sweeping views over the plains. The open-air bar and nightly campfire create a warm, sociable atmosphere too. For a special touch, guests can arrange a private bush dinner. A family breakfast beside the hippo pool is equally memorable. Furthermore, friendly, attentive staff ensure every stay feels personal and well cared for.
