Kilaguni Lodge
OFFICIAL CATEGORY (Ministry of Tourism classification): 4****
The first lodge ever to be built in a KenyanNational Park, Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge is superbly situated in the lee of Mount Kilimanjaro, encircled by volcanic splendour, adjacent to a teeming water hole and daily visited by vast herds of elephant, buffalo and plains game. Inspirationally positioned so that not only all the rooms but also the open-air restaurant, timbered game-viewing decks and rock-built bar enjoy uninterrupted views of the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro, the lodge also stands central to miles of lion-stalked grasslands, elephant-studded plains and wildlife-teeming bush and is ideally placed for visits to all the parks prime attractions. Faced in volcanic stone and utilising the natural rocky outcrops of a valley known as ˜the place of the young rhino, from which it takes its name, the lodge has been designed to blend chameleon-like into the savannah landscape. The lodge commands magnificent views second to none, extending out over some rugged scenery in this 12000sq. Kms park, with Chyulu Hills in the snowy dome of Mount Kilimanjaro as perfect backdrop.
