Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp Deluxe Twin Tent

This is the highlight experience! Soysambu Conservancy is entwined with a marching history reflecting back to 1890s. It is a home of the endangered Rothschild Giraffes and Black and White Colobus Monkeys. The conservancy hosts a good standing population of the three of the big five family namely Lions, Leopards, Buffaloes. Morning or evening game drives offers our guests the exceptional chance of getting out of the vehicle and walking in the wild, in designated areas. Our road master land cruiser, driven by our experienced naturalists ensures comfort and optimum game viewing experience throughout the drive.

The Conservancy plays host to 450 bird species, and birding experts report up to 60 species of birds a day – a birder’s paradise including the flamingos and the endangered Great White Pelican. The guided bird walks along the lake, are conducted by the resident naturalist, and tools such as the binoculars and a birding list are provided.

This is an experience designed to immerse our guests into the wild on a horse back. Our experienced jockeys ensure the guests are taken through the whole concept and even more informing on how horse sports have evolved from time immemorial up to date. Sight-seeing, birdwatching, wildlife viewing from a horse back is incredible and a must try.

An Ornithological HavenThe only way to get close to nature on foot. Led by an experienced Naturalist, the one-hour walk begins right at the camp, through the sprawling Acacia thickets right to the Lake shore. This is one of the rarest opportunity to walk designated Ramsar and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Unlike the drives, nature walks captures all the desired attention of natural happenings like identifying tracks and signs of wildlife, geology, native plants identification and their traditional medicinal values or uses, one on one interaction on birding with an expert, more thrilling, how these birds find their way all from Europe and Asia into Africa during winter! The cover of diverse habitats ensures maximum content achievement.

The natural settings in the wild vary adversely. Individual animals are diurnal (active during the day), nocturnal (active at night) or even Crepuscular (active in twilight i.e. dawn and dusk). A uniquely specialized activity, a night game drive is the ultimate safari luxury. Night is the domain of such hunters as leopards and lions (Conservancy’s big cats), and the only time you may catch a glimpse of such elusive nocturnal creatures as Aardvarks, spring Hares, Porcupines,White-Tailed Mongoose etc. Typically, our Camp’s safari vehicle is equipped with a powerful spotlight, which can be used to sweep the bush for likely sightings.
