Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp

We came on our annual family vacation to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary on 31st December and to usher in the new year with our 4 babies, and we honestly did not expect the level of care, thoughtfulness, and quiet luxury that awaited us. Our 3 night stay was sooo magical!||From the moment we arrived, we were completely wrapped in warmth.|The team was exceptional. Lameck, the camp manager, leads with such grace and attentiveness it shows in every detail. The waitresses, especially Mercy and Rachel, were outstanding; their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care made every meal a joy. They knew how to serve each of our babies.||A special sundowner event was so well curated with traditional dancers and served canapes. The kitchen team led by Chef Raphael literally gave our taste buds an experience of a lifetime the entire period. ||The celebration itself was unforgettable: a beautiful cake and singing, a full party complete with dancing and champagne, thoughtful treats waiting for us in the room, and even midnight mbuzi and soup. We were truly spoilt rotten in the best way possible.||Martin, who looks after the grounds, surprised us with the sweetest gesture—a gifted plant that we will treasure. Hannah from housekeeping ensured everything was perfect, and even the pool attendant went above and beyond by leading us in an incredible yoga session. I can’t forget to mention Dorothy of the front desk who was superb! I also enjoyed a 90 minutes aromatherapy massage.||The views of the lake are so picturesque you can’t get over them!||Serena Elementaita, you outdid yourselves. We carry with us memories for a lifetime. ||You owe us nothing—absolutely nothing.|10/10, minus nothing.||We have found a new home away from home.||With love and gratitude,|The Muchais

Following a very long day we arrived at The Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp. It was breathtaking. The 'tented' accommodation was outstanding and cleanliness was second to none. The breakfasts, lunch and evening meals were of excellent quality and the portions were plentiful. Our safari around the park was excellent though I think it would be prudent to say that the flamingos are definitely in decline due to the rising water levels. Our hike with our guide Eric, and rangers, Ken and Moses up The Sleeping Warrior was a real highlight. The pool was lovely and relaxing. We stayed two nights and I only wish it had been three, so that we could have enjoyed the camp itself. Beautiful views from the gardens looking over to the lake and Sleeping Warrior. All of the staff were kind, courteous and helpful.

Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how incredibly gorgeous and authentic our room felt. It was beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and wonderfully comfortable. Waking up to the stunning view of the lake was an experience we won't soon forget. Every single staff member we encountered was outstanding. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality made us feel so welcome and cared for. The level of service is truly exceptional. The food was fantastic as well. It was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We were only able to stay for one night, but we so wished we could have stayed longer. Out of all the beautiful places we visited on our safari, this was our absolute favorite. Lake Elementaita Serena Camp gave us a truly happy and memorable experience and we can't recommend it highly enough. Thank You for sharing such a wonderful place with your guests. It is a blessing to be able to tour Africa!

Beautuful setting! Food was very disappointing. Several of us ordered rib eye and is was so tough none of us ate it. Terrible waste to throw all that food away. Staff was gracious. We had very good massages. Oh, their price on a bottle of wine was $115, it is about $25 in the US

Absolute gem quietly hidden off. If you are looking for serenity, tranquility and excellent service, don't think twice. We loved it and we look forward to going back. Special shout out to Albert in Sales & Marketing, Eric, Mercy and Stanley serving in the restaurant. Also, kudos to the kitchen crew...the food was delicious. See you soon...

We absolutely loved the amazing attention to detail throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—Dorothy and her team were especially attentive to all our needs and made us feel truly cared for.|Cicelolia at the restaurant was very helpful and attentive, and Pamela in the kitchen went above and beyond by training us on how to make dessert, which was such a special experience. We also really enjoyed the yoga sessions with Gad.|We can’t wait to be back!

Our family recently spent 2 nights at Serena Camp.||This place is breathtaking, the views across the lake are beautiful. The staff could not be more helpful and accommodating.||The restaurant was excellent with great choices and variety.||Our boys loved the swimming pool and enjoyed an afternoon relaxing in the pool after our game drive to Lake Nakuru. ||Would highly recommend staying at Serena Camp

We are thrilled to write this review of our experience of the Lake Elementaita Serena Camp.||From beginning to end we, as a family of four, felt the warm, humble welcome from all the staff - cleaners, waiting staff, kitchen staff, grounds-people , reception staff and management... It was as if we were with family amidst the friendly and attentive team. We were sorry to leave the peace, tranquility and glorious creation which surrounded and cocooned us throughout our stay.||Our lodges were beautiful and perfectly equipped for a relaxing break, nestled among the well tended plants and trees which housed a staggering array of local wildlife and birds whose chorus greeted us each morning. We also enjoyed splendid views of the lake, even from bed!||We took full advantage of our meal times and the delicious local produce served up for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some particular highlights were the lamb chops, red snapper, passion fruit, mango, and local dishes.|||The chefs were delightful and exceptionally accommodating of our tastes and dietary needs, serving up many creative and tasty dishes to us as we sat looking out over the wildlife - zebra, antelope, pelicans, buffalo, monkeys - which paid a visit to the breathtaking watering hole vista in front of the lake during our stay.||From relaxing by the pool to watercolour on the terrace to a fascinating nature walks in the grounds where we managed to glimpse flamingo, we were delighted by our most memorable 5 star stay.||Asante sana and hope to see you all again soon!
