Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp

Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp is situated in a truly magical setting. The Soysambu Conservancy, a 48,000-acre private wildlife sanctuary, is home to an astonishing variety of animals and bird species. The tranquil Lake Elmenteita, a UNESCO-listed site, is famous for its thousands of flamingos, which paint the shoreline in hues of pink. The lake is also a vital breeding ground for pelicans and home to hippos, buffaloes, giraffes, and other wildlife that can often be seen from the camp itself.

Surrounded by rolling grasslands and acacia woodlands, the camp provides stunning panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley. At sunrise and sunset, the sky is set ablaze with spectacular colors, creating picture-perfect moments that linger in the memory long after your stay. The unspoiled wilderness of the conservancy offers a sanctuary for visitors seeking peace, solitude, and a deep connection with nature.
