Serengeti Serena Lodge
Location - Busy area east of central Serengeti
Price Guide - $325 - 495 pppn
Serengeti Serena Lodge is the best place to stay in the Serengeti if you are specifically after a lodge safari. Like the rest of Serena Hotels properties this is a well run hotel, with dependable levels of service and food, but not somewhere you will find a particularly "bush" experience. Read more?
There are 66 rooms all of which look a bit like those helmets that German officers wore in World War I with spikes in the top. They are in fact comfortable ensuite rooms with comfortable beds, good clean bathrooms and plenty of space.
We don't believe that lodges of this kind offer a particularly interesting experience compared to the small and much more imaginitive camps such as Kusini Camp, Nomad's Serengeti Safari Camp or Klein's Camp and we tend not to use this area of the Serengeti much because of the large numbers of visitors in the area.
There is plenty of resident game to see in the area and when the migration is going through in July this area is bursting with wildebeest. However, you are often accompanied by other vehicles in this part of the park and given how much space there is in the Serengeti it seems a waste not to make the most of it.
Something to note : If you are after a balloon safari, then you need to spend at least one night in this area so as to be ready for the early morning departure.
Location - Serengeti and Surrounding Areas
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. The proliferation of animal life here simply defies belief and in the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
