Blending seamlessly into the surrounding rock formations, with native green vines creating an outer camouflage, this lodge is truly absorbed into the unique Tanzanian landscape of the Ngorongoro crater.
An abundance of wildlife can be found on your doorstep, down in the prehistoric crater, including ‘The Big Five’ – this is home to one of the largest concentrations of lions in Africa. A wonderful mix of geology and nature, you will learn more about this fascinating destination on a local game drive and speaking to the passionate Maasai people.
Wooden decks and stone flooring add to the sense of nature throughout the property, with traditional paintings and carvings adding to the décor. Each of the 74 guest rooms is filled with rich woods and rustic hues, also boasting a private balcony overlooking the vastness of the wilderness below.
The restaurant here offers local and international cuisine, crafted from fresh local produce and ingredients. The traditional setting encompasses a stone-built fireplace and cave paintings, with floor to ceiling windows opening out onto the expansive terrace. This relaxed space is perfect for al fresco dining, or for a cosy candlelit drink, whilst discussing the day’s activities.
The team at Serena Lodge are keen to show visitors the sights during your stay, so can happily advise on what you can experience here, from a walk with the resident naturalist to a tour of the Maasai homesteads.
