On arrival at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport go through the Customs and Immigration procedures. After clearing with customs and immigration formalities, you will be met by our representative.
After being briefed about your Safari you will be driven across the plains of Mount Kenya and up into the foothills and forests of the second highest mountain in Africa.

Wildlife highlights include: elephant, buffalo, antelope, water buck, genet cats and leopard.
At Serena Mountain Lodge guests can awake to the trumpeting of elephant, fall asleep to the symphony of the African night or sit in stillness and observe the fascinating interplay of the animals as they arrive to drink, bathe, spar and forage around the water hole. Finally, they can venture down to the secret viewing hide by the water’s edge and experience the awesome thrill of being only meters away from some of the most massive beasts on earth.

The Sarova Shaba Lodge is located high above the Shaba Game Reserve, and it cleverly incorporates the beautiful natural springs as one of its special features, also offering itself as the perfect base from which to explore The Shaba Reserve.
