Ngorongoro Serena Lodge
Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge occupies one of the most dramatic locations in Tanzania—perched directly on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. From this elevated vantage point, guests are treated to breathtaking views over the vast caldera below, where wildlife roams across the floor, and the surrounding highlands stretch toward distant mountains.
The lodge is built to blend seamlessly into its rugged surroundings. River stone walls, indigenous vines, and locally inspired design elements create the impression that the building has grown naturally from the Crater’s rim. Its low, unobtrusive profile preserves the view, while large windows and terraces bring the landscape into every living space.
Inside, the lodge balances classic safari elegance with modern comfort: cozy lounges, wood-accented interiors, and natural tones reflect both the environment and traditional African design. Guests feel connected to the Crater and highlands even while enjoying the privacy and comfort of their rooms.
An Iconic Safari Base
Located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the lodge provides unmatched access to:
- Ngorongoro Crater – morning and evening game drives just steps away from the lodge
- Nearby highlands and walking trails – explore the escarpments and forested areas surrounding the Crater
-
Cultural visits – the Maasai villages that dot the region’s hillsides
Its location, combined with its elevated terraces, allows guests to watch wildlife from afar, enjoy stunning sunsets, or simply soak in the grandeur of one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
Serena Safari Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it is an experience of the Crater itself. The combination of natural architecture, dramatic views, and steady hospitality makes it a benchmark for luxury lodges in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit.
