Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp

Magnificent short stay over Christmas holidays...Wilson's help in booking was a great idea, wonderful staff, good food amazing scenery clean rooms... list is endless. Just perfect for a break from the outside world. Take a drive or hose ride in the woods, a good experience as well

Our experience at the Lake Elmenteita is best described as 5 Star glamping! The place is gorgeous! Rich foliage, wildlife, beautiful rooms with very comfortable beds and spa like bathrooms and showers with hot water!! All the staff were very nice. Food was excellent ( with the exception of the “essence of fish soup”… would not recommend that) . I also had an amazing deep tissue massage at the Spa- very reasonable prices! We took a short drive to the Lake and saw quite a bite of wildlife and beautiful sunset! Highly recommend!!

We had two rooms (4 and 5) for one night as we were passing through Nakuru towards Masai Mara. Wilson is on the point and he had everything arranged with our tour agent (Kipe) as we stayed in Serena Ol Pejeta a night before :) We were greeted by him and his team at the check-in. They showed us the property (which is insanely located in middle of mountains overlooking the lake - full of Flamingoes and Migratory birds). They also have a watering hole on the other side of fence where you can see so many wild animals. Suites are super luxurious and it takes class/elegance to another level. The showers are huge, bathrooms will beat at 5/6 star hotel bathrooms. The four poster bed is huge and comfy. Food is set menu but we had no issues even with most of us being strict vegetarian. This is some of the best food we had on 16 day trip in Africa. Chef does mastery in both cooking and presentation. The risotto was top notch and so was the soup :) Hand made Ice creams to close the night after a long game drive and some amazing pancakes in the AM with some side dishes were our highlight. Erick was our server and he never ever said no to any asks :) Steven, Caroline, Dorothy, Jason, Wilson all run a very tight ship ! Thanks for all the love and hospitality :) highly recommended in Lake Nakuru area :)

We had another fantastic stay at Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp. The hospitality is always excellent, the food is amazing and there was wonderful attention to detail throughout. Thank you to all the team for making our stay so special. We look forward to coming back again.

On arrival we found a team waiting for us and they knew our names. Our luggage was meticulously handed and delivered to our rooms. The room was clean and our housekeeper Ann attended to our every need. Chef Ken ensured we got fingerlicking delicacies thanks. Manger Lameck humility and availability to our needs was awesome.

The staff were good but the camp was a bit run down. Rooms were average and there were a lot of swamp flies near the lake. First night, there were a lot of dead flies in our room which was not a pleasant experience. Nothing much to do at the lake apart from seeing the pink flamingos. There is a watering hole in front of the camp and we saw some animals come by, which was nice. Food was average. I would recommend just seeing the flamingos and not staying at Lake Elementaita or maximum one night stay.
