Serena Hotels, Resorts, Safari Lodges and Camps earlier on in the week, unveiled the new-look refurbished Mara Serena Safari Lodge and Sweetwaters Serena Camp.
The
group has over the past year embarked on an extensive refurbishment of these
properties while ensuring minimal disruption of normal guest services and
comfort.
In
Mara Serena Safari Lodge, refurbishment took place in two separate phases; an
arrival lobby, reception, gift shop, bar lounge, terrace and the Maisha Spa
& Gym which commenced February last year. The dining room was reconfigured
to create a new buffet and active cooking areas. All these were completed and
have been fully operational since July this year.
In
the second phase of the refurbishment, the dining area has now been expanded to
incorporate the former bar lounge, and a new coffee station and lounge, new
public area washrooms; an internal fireplace, terrace and a court yard were
created. These areas are now operational as from 1st October, 2013.
Over
the period, the works at the restaurant saw their guests enjoy meals under
canvas temporary facilities which continually attracted positive feedback from
them.
The
final phase of the Mara Serena Safari Lodge refurbishment will involve creation
of more terraces by the dining room, and is expected to be complete in December
2013.
Meanwhile
at Sweetwaters Serena, the camp has enjoyed a 5-star upgrade whereby in July
last year, the camp unveiled 11 new tents that now make up the superior Morani
Wing. The new building includes the reception, restaurant, guest lounge, bar lounge,
gift shop and kitchen of which, all are now fully operational as of this week.
We at Uniglobe Let’s go travel welcome the Serena upgrades as it gives us the “heart”
knowing that our clients will be comfortable and enjoy their safaris with their stay at the
Serena properties.
