The staff at the Serena Safari Lodge were wonderful from the moment we pulled up until the last wave goodbye. We spent our days on safari around the Serengeti and nights at Serena. Buffet style dining was very good, and we were able to speak with chef about our vegetarian diet for the box lunches sent out with us for... More

Our favourite lodge on our safari. Our room had a lovely view over the Serengeti plains and in the morning we woke up to find a dik dik sleeping in front of our balcony. There were a lot of beautiful birds in the grounds, and other wildlife. It is well worth taking the guided tour of the grounds. Relatively near... More

Excellent if you consider this is in the middle of Serengeti National park, and safari is the only reason for your stay. Enough everything for relax during safari. However lack of air-conditioning (though understandable as Serena Lodges claim to be eco-hotels) is a huge minus during hot season. The small table fan we had did not save from the night... More

Excellent location. The only serena lodge we stayed at where you needed a ranger to take you back to your room at night in case any animals had arrived at your room! The rooms are arranged in small cottage type blocks with two downstairs and one up. We had a room upstairs and this was excellent. Fantastic views across the... More

In fairness we arrived late after one of our safari vehicles had broken down and were up early the next morning to go ballooning. So we truly had little time here but I must say you cannot beat the location, the food was wonderful, very different from what we had so far on the trip. The downside was that the... More

After staying at the Serena lodges at Arusha, Lake Mynyara, and Nogorongoro, we were not expecting to be surprised, but the location, views, infinity pool and overall embience of the lodge in Serengeti were amazing. The lodges are small with 2-3 rooms each, and blend extremely well with the overall environment. There are no boundary walls for the resort, and... More

We booked our Safari thru Serena hotels. I was able to ask and clarify a whole bunch of things with their Safair coordinator stationed in Arusha(near Mt Kili) beforehand. We were able to plan the days as we liked it, and a single payment thru the Serena website was all that was needed. They arranged the airport pickup/drops, interconnecting rooms... More

Good location. Beautiful grounds. Breakfast was great but otherwise the food is just average. Who cares?! You're in Africa - overlooking the Serengeti. We were unhappy, however with the constant invasion of insects. There were beetles and other assorted critters in the room, inside the nets, in the bathroom, in the bed (not bedbugs- bugs in the bed). One on... More

This is a great lodge near the national park. The rooms are very nice, we had one just in front of the swiming pool. Dining is excellent, I talked to the chef who gave me some secrets about his cooking.The bar outside where you can have your breakfast as well as a late night drink is terrific although prices for...
