Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge detail

Set on a ridge overlooking the vast Serengeti plains, the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge creates the perfect balance between African architecture and top-class comfort and style. Ideal for those interested in traditional architecture and design, this lodge is not only beautiful but also ideally located to enjoy fascinating game drives in the bush.

You'll have the chance to spot all the members of the Big 5 as you go on daily game drives and, if you visit at the right time of year, you might also witness the Great Migration - when thousands upon thousands of wildebeest and zebra trek across the plains to find greener pastures. The camp is adjacent to the renowned Western Corridor and Grumeti River, offering a truly magnificent landscape to call your home. Another memorable way to experience this wilderness is on a hot-air balloon safari, which ends with a champagne breakfast in the bush.

Rooms

Standard Chalet

Rooms at the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge are designed to blend in with the surroundings and create a series of traditional circular dwellings, or rondavels that are widely spaced throughout the grounds and shaded by acacia trees.

Each rondavel has three rooms with one on the top floor and the other two at the bottom floor, each with a balcony/terrace. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and feature an en suite bathroom decorated in natural colors and feature stone designs. The added space allows for the addition of an extra bed to accommodate a child.

Other room types:

The Serengeti Suite is a luxuriously appointed dwelling, set slightly apart from the other rooms to afford maximum privacy. The suite features a king-sized bed, mosquito nets, and a separate dressing area. The en suite bathroom offers marble finishings, while the elegantly appointed sitting room offers a nice place to relax and enjoy your uninterrupted views over the wilderness.

Facilities

The pool overlooks the seemingly endless savannah plains that trademark the Serengeti and you'll enjoy uninterrupted views of this incredible sight as you cool off after a morning of game drives.

The safari bar has a timber terrace that offers great views of your wild surroundings - ideal for a relaxing drink in the late afternoon or evening.

For those who want to relax and unwind completely, there is a range of relaxing beauty treatments on offer.

You can also pay a visit to the extensively stocked African gift shop and safari boutique.

Dining

The 2-tier dining room is styled to resemble the audience chamber of a tribal king with large papyrus-topped pillars that are embellished with traditional 'Makonde' carvings. This beautiful assembly place offers delicious meals to enjoy three times a day and you'll be entertained by traditional music and dances in the evenings. Sit down to breakfast and lunch buffets that feature a range of international choices as well as many delicious vegetarian options. Dinner is a table d'hôte affair that is supported by a salad buffet, soup, entrée, and dessert.

The majority of the meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables are sourced from the surrounding communities. Bush dining can be arranged for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and offers a special way to enjoy your delicious meals. You'll be taken to a scenic spot where you'll enjoy a private, romantic meal as you overlook the beautiful surroundings and listen to the sounds of the wild.
