Serena Mountain Lodge, Mt. Kenya ***

Located at 7200 FT (2195M) on the slopes of the snow-capped mount Kenya, Serena Mountain Lodge is the most luxurious tree lodge in Kenya with private ensuite bathroom facilities.

At dusk the dense tropical rain forest comes alive with myriad sounds of creatures of various descriptions.

The elephant, Rhino, several species of antelopes including the bongo and occasionally, both leopard and the lion are frequent visitors at the illuminated water hole which is connected to the lodge by a short tunnel to a specially constructed bunker affording a close up view of the game.

For the ornithologists, over 200 species of birds have been identified while the indigenous tropical rain forest vegetation is of special interest to the botanists.

The most rewarding experience is a clear early morning or afternoon view of the rocky peaks on Mount Kenya with its over half dozen glaciers.
