From the private veranda of your guest room at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, you look out across the twilight savannah plains to see herbivores like wildebeests, buffalos, zebras grazing peacefully yet on guard. Incredibly, this is only the first morning of your awe-inspiring vacation in Kenya, and soon you will be joining your experienced AfricanMecca guide for thrilling game drives.

The deluxe 92-room lodge is sited in a wonderful stand of acacia trees with the grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro dominating the horizon. Melting snow from the summit feeds a network of underground springs that give life to an otherwise dry landscape. Marshes and swamps, such as the one that is situated near the lodge, serve as watering holes that attract elephants, hippos, buffalos, wildebeests and several other fauna.



From the lodge's restaurant, you watch the intriguing behaviors of Africa's bush wildlife, such as an individual zebra within the protection of the harem that feels safe enough to sleep standing up! Listen closely to the calls of these animals, as their bark and whinny indicate a cheetah, leopard or another predator is nearby. If their alerts grow in intensity or supported by alarm calls from monkeys or other small plains herbivores, you will be on the verge of your seat watching and waiting for the most exciting part of any bush holiday in Amboseli National Park -- the hunt.
