Take in the far-reaching views from this large lodge with rooms scattered throughout pretty grounds.
Standing high on a bluff overlooking the gleaming waters of Lake Manyara, Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge has some of the best views around. Antelope and baboons roam the grounds, and the lodge offers easy access to the nearby national park. Thanks to a local community-run programme a whole host of activities are possible here, including mountain biking, forest walks, canoeing and even night game drives. The infinity pool is a focal point, with a pool bar encouraging you to soak up the views for longer.
Inside the lodge buildings you’ll find vibrantly colourful frescos that depict the patterns of migratory birds, the swirling motifs of Maasai bomas and local landscapes. Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, with set menu options for dinner which is served in the dining room or on the terrace if you prefer.

Facilities
The Flamingo restaurant has been built like a Maasai boma with a cathedral-like ceiling. Food is made with ingredients sourced from communities around the national park and after dinner, they hold Maasai dance and music performances on the terrace. For a special dining experience, you can book a bush breakfast or dinner, which will be set up on the edge of the escarpment, with a campfire and lake views.
