Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge

Good lodge, location, environment

Staying at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge was a wonderful experience. The staff (Isaac, Wilson and the others) was exceptionally kind and attentive. The rooms were comfortable overlooking the watering hole where we could observe the magnificent wildlife of Tsavo. What a magical experience. Thank you so much.

This was part of a three day safari to three national parks from mombasa. This was the third lodge which was very nice seen lots of different animals on the way and at the lodge at the water hole at the back of the hotel. Camp was very nice and clean drinks prices in bar was not bad price. Hotel staff were friendly food was good like it when we came back after dinner the room was nicely set up with mosquito net all around bed and low lighting. Then back to resort. Was offered to be woken up if a lion came to the water hole but it never did never seen a lion the whole of the safari. Gift shop was very very expensive.

The location is absolutely breathtaking, set in Tsavo West with wide views of Mount Kilimanjaro and a waterhole where elephants and buffaloes gathered daily. Watching them from my balcony was truly special. My room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I enjoyed the peaceful pool area and loved dining while taking in the open plains. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and served with care. A big thank you to Lillian, whose warm and attentive service made each meal feel personal. Wilson, the lodge manager, was always around, checking in and making sure everyone felt at home. And Ziyaan did a fantastic job coordinating everything behind the scenes—his support made the entire trip feel smooth and well-planned. From the game drives bush breakfasts , sundowners and a visit to Maina Springs to quiet moments at the lodge, every part of this experience left a lasting impression. I’d return without hesitation.

Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge was the 2nd out of 3 lodges we stayed at during our Safari. Upon arrival we were greeted again by the friendliest most humble staff I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet on any of our travels to many different countries, nothing is to much trouble. We were given ice cold wet menthol flannels to refresh our faces and hands after being out in the bush spotting the wildlife. We walked through the open plan reception into the restaurant area and onto the terrace when I was in total awe of what was in front of my eyes, the most breathtaking view, landscape, mountains with Kilimanjaro in the backdrop to the left, in front of the terrace is a watering hole. The terrace is an amazing place to sit, relax with a beer, and reminisce of the days encounters with the most beautiful creatures on earth. Right in front of your eyes are elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hyenas and many many other incredible creatures. Our room was stunning with a large bathroom, his and hers basins, walk in shower, a large king size bed with moscato net, a sofa looking through the French doors onto our balcony, the large balcony with unspoiled views of the same views from the terrace, We sat on the balcony after dinner and again just watched in awe as the wildlife just wandered past “pole pole” style. The food again was incredible and catered for every taste and plentiful, if you wanted more as I did it was there for the taking. Swimming pool was a welcome sight and a great place to cool off after a day in the bush. 3 things that will stay with my memories of Kilaguni Serena lodge forever, a life changing experience was the awe inspiring panoramic views from the terrace and balconies, the experience of seeing 2 rhinos together just as we drove out of the lodge, and the welcoming staff. The logistics of making this place run as smooth as clockwork in the middle of absolutely nowhere is incredible, Well done to all at Kilaguni Serena for adding to a life experience I will never ever forget, thank you.

Stayed here for 1 night and was so sad it was only 1 night! The view from the bar was just next level! Watering hole right there, with so many visitors! The food was good, the staff were friendly & helpful. The rooms were stunning! And at night we sat on our terrace with a glass of wine watching the watering hole for hours, elephants, zebras, hyenas, birds, so much activity! Loved listening to the safari surround sound with a wine. A stunning location, just wish we’d had more time here!
