We stayed at the Serena lodge for two nights in October. The first impressions are very good, the cabins are dome shaped with thatched roofs set in beautifully landscaped gardens, but the real wow is the view from the balcony! The Serengeti stretches out as far as you can see, with some beautiful rolling hills and pasture containing herds of wilder-beast, buffalo and zebra.

The hotel itself has a 1970’s feel, with a bit of a “DIsney does Africa” style. But the location and staff make it a wonderful place to stay.

Each mealtime the staff make time to chat and make you feel very welcome. The food is buffet style with a wide choice of dishes, salads and deserts.

Fabulous views of the Serengeti from your thatched roof cabin.

My safari experience in the Masai, Serengeti, and Zanzibar has been phenomenal. From the safari guides Alfred, Ezekiel, Patience and Dennis. They did an excellent job with driving and informing us with information about the different animals.  Let’s get to the food, I want to personally thank Paskali from the Serengeti Serena for hooking me up with breakfast as such short notice, you’re a lifesaver.

12 Day Safari Masai Mara•Serengeti •Zanzibar

It is a wonderful place to enjoy your vacation! Once you go there you will be welcome by smiling faces and given taste juice. From there you will be shown your room and start enjoying your day. In the morning you will be given a good breakfast and later lunch boxes

Awesome place to stay on vacation

The service was excellent from start to finish; the staff were friendly and always ready to help. The food was delicious, with a good variety of options to choose from. The lodge itself was very comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. I highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for a pleasant stay with great service and tasty meals.

Great stay and cozy lodge

We stayed 3 nights as a family of 4 and had a great stay. The lodges were very comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Also we had great views from the lodges. Serengeti was our favorite park during our one week safari, and we saw the wildebeest migration, about 2.5 hours drive from the hotel, it was amazing!

Great lodge when visiting Serengeti

Spent 3 nights at here whilst on safari. The rooms are beautiful, wood carved beds, balconies overlooking the Serengeti. The staff are superb, so friendly and helpful. The chefs at breakfast always greeted us well, ready to cook our eggs with a smile and a joke. The picnic lunches were really good and also catered for gluten intolerances. The food overall was the best of all of the Serena lodges we stayed in during our trip. Overall amazing time. Thank you Serena Serengeti

Great stay in middle of the Serengeti

What began as a long-shot discussion amongst family to someday go on an African Safari turned rapidly into reality when things evolved, and tickets were purchased.  All of a sudden, a group of 6 of us were going ~ for real !!  For 13 days !!  Flying into Kenya, overland to Tanzania and back to Kenya for our return flights home.

All reservations for travel and stay in Kenya and Tanzania were arranged as an all-inclusive package by ASDL, our tour operator…  all we had to do was get our visas, air tickets and the essential vaccinations.

Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge in Tanzania is built in the same style as the Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort and is just as delightful.  The lodge is located atop a hill, overlooking vast tracts of the Serengeti spread out below, with expansive views of the hills and valleys surrounding this site.  The public areas are beautifully laid out, in small and large interconnecting structures, with covered linking passages and flowing pools filled with water lilies and other plants between them… and loads of loudly chorusing bullfrogs ~ quite a cacophonous choir !  The lounges and dining areas spill seamlessly into one another, and onto a surrounding covered verandah, which serves as a seating and dining space, and overlooks an outdoor infinity-edge pool.  The pool is a wonderful place to soak, cool and watch the brilliant, dazzling sunset… quite an unparalleled, relaxing experience at the end of a long day chasing the dust and heat of the Serengeti..!!  The pool area apparently also offers saunas and massages (available for an additional fee, of course) to soothe away aches and pains from the bumpy trails. 

The guestrooms are arranged four to a 2-story unit, spread along the edge of the same hill with views across the vast valley below.  Wildlife and birds roam freely throughout the property and surroundings.  One particularly striking bird running all around the grounds is a variety of Toucan, with a much less prominent and colorful bill than the hornbill version.

Meals are generally served “buffet” style, and are all-inclusive, with the exception of dinks.  Drinks are extra, and pricey !  The spread is extensive: offering many choices of non-veg, veg, vegan and some unfathomable cuisines.  But desserts are blah !  They should concentrate on the simple ones…  trifle, caramel custard, and the like.  

All in all.. ENTIRELY worth the trip, and the money.  Thank you, Gentlemen !

Africa !!!  The dark continent…. of Tarzan, Phantom, The Jungle Book, legends, dreams, wildlife, imaginations run amuck.

Where do I start. Throughout our travels we have never had this kind of Customer Service! like we had at this lodge. If you want to celebrate a big birthday or any kind of travel, where attention to detail is key, this place checks off all the boxes! From management all the way down to every person we encountered we couldn't have asked for a better Birthday celebration. Thank you and especial mentions to Barakael who was our server at birthday dinner, Joshua executive chef, Ebeneszar always greeted us at restaurant, Emmanuel server at breakfast and dinner who made sure we had the same table every day and assistant manager John Massa . Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this  an epic trip of a lifetime.  Some pictures below of wonderful staff who took care of us and beautiful scenery. I wish TripAdvisor would allow videos because I would love to post the video of everyone who sang happy birthday to me in Kiswahili and English, it was so genuine and  heartfelt. 
When traveling to the Serengeti this will definitely be our lodge of choice.

Serena Serengeti 10 + costumer service!

A wonderful place, with friendly and helpful people who do everything they can to provide us with an excellent experience. The hotel is beautiful, the cottages where the rooms are located are unique and allow us to feel integrated into nature but in comfort. Magical views, great food... everything you could wish for and more.

Everything you want and more on Serengueti 

Incredible. No other words for it. Incredible staff, view, wildlife, food, rooms and feel. 

Pool with a view, great food every day, kind staff from check in to check out, wildlife walking around the grounds, clean and comfortable rooms and a wonderful positive vibe.

Special thanks to Stephen and Emmanuel - they both were so kind and deserve the world for their professionalism and kindness. 

Asante Sana
