Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge - The Facts
The Ngorongoro Serena Lodge is located on the rim of the
Ngorongoro Crater, an hour’s drive from
Manyara airstrip and a three and half hour drive from Arusha. A lynch pin in any north
Tanzanian safari circuit, the Serena is the go-to option for those wanting views on the rim.
With an almost “Flintstones” design the lodge gets away with being quite large. The whole lodge is well decorated with hand-painted cave-type illustrations and styles throughout, with large arches in the walls, central fire places that stick out in the communal areas and lovely views down from the restaurant. The dining room and bar are warm and inviting, with crackling wood fires in each, and the menu is both delicious and extensive, incorporating at least four courses. A great
Ngorongoro Safari for everyone.
The 75 rooms of the Ngorongoro Crater
Serena Lodge are laid out on two levels in long lines along the crater rim, as if built into the natural gradient of the crater it hides quite well. The rooms are very much like hotel rooms in linear formation, but they have all the necessary requirements, great views, bathrooms and large double beds.
The Ngorongoro Crater allows only day game drives and no other activities.
