WHY SAFARIHQ CHOOSES IT

We recommend Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp for travellers seeking an intimate and refined stay within Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Its peaceful lakeside setting offers a restful contrast to busy safari days, while Soysambu Conservancy provides rewarding wildlife and birdwatching experiences.

The camp is particularly well suited to couples, honeymooners and guests travelling between Nairobi, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. Elegant en-suite tents, a heated swimming pool and Serena’s established service standards create a comfortable stay without losing the atmosphere of the surrounding wilderness.
