Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

Perched high on an acacia-lined ridge in the heart of the Serengeti, Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge offers sweeping panoramic views across the vast Serengeti plains. From this elevated vantage point, you can watch wildebeest herds move, lions stalk, and the plain stretch endlessly toward the horizon.
Its position gives good access to some of Serengeti’s most important wildlife areas, including the Western Corridor and areas around the Grumeti River, making it an excellent base for game drives.

  • The lodge has around 65 guest rooms plus one suite, organized in traditional rondavel-style buildings (thatched, stone-built domed huts).
  • Rooms feature private balconies, natural stone bathrooms, and furniture carved from wood — with authentic Makonde-style detailing
  • The Serengeti Suite has more space: a king-size bed, a separate sitting room, a well-stocked mini-bar, a TV, telephone.
  • Amenities include Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, standing or table fans, and bathrobes.

Dining & Common Areas
  • The lodge has a two-tiered dining room with high domed ceilings, supported by massive papyrus-style pillars and decorated with Makonde carvings.
  • Guests can enjoy buffet-style breakfast and lunch, and a table d’hôte dinner with a variety of courses.
  • For special moments, the lodge arranges bush breakfasts, bush dinners, and sundowner cocktails out on the plains.
  • There’s a safari bar with a timbered terrace — ideal for relaxing in the evening.
Facilities & Activities

  • A “vanishing-horizon” or infinity pool overlooks the Serengeti plains — great for sunset views.

  • Game drives are offered daily; guests can explore with experienced guides.
  • The lodge can facilitate hot-air balloon safaris over the Serengeti, followed by a bush breakfast.
  • There is also a private bush camp, adding a more rustic or intimate option for dining and staying out in nature.
  • At the lodge, guests can enjoy cultural dance performances, a gift shop, a business/conference centre, and a TV room.


Character & Experience

  • The architecture and design are intentionally in harmony with the land — stone walls, thatch roofs, and natural materials make the lodge feel like part of the Serengeti ridge itself.
  • The lodge’s elevated position gives guests ringside views of wildlife across the plains — particularly dramatic during migration season.
  • The combination of relaxed luxury, comfortable rondavel-style rooms, and a strong connection to nature makes it a classic safari lodge — elegant but not overly flashy.
