Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

We stayed for three nights before proceeding to Norogoro and Tarengire national park and found a gem in the middle of the Serengeti national park. Wonderful service team, comfortable beds and good food. We enjoyed everything. Thank you of making our stay memorial during our game viewing tour. Warm Regards. Mario & Mela

We stayed 5 nights at the Serengeti Serena lodge in Jan 2024 whilst on a family holiday celebrating my father’s 70th birthday. This trip was made even more magical and memorable by the hospitality this lodge showed us. We were collected from the air ***** by our safari guides who were also very friendly and knowledgeable. Upon arriving at the lodge we were greeted with smiles and a welcome refreshment followed by lunch. The staff were all attentive from the very moment we reached the lodge. The head chef came to greet us during lunch and even catered the menus to suit our palate for the duration of our stay, this was a very nice touch. The choice of food during breakfast, lunch and dinner was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the live omelette station in the mornings, and live cooking available each evening. The lodge also host some great entertainment in the evenings, traditional singing and dances, which we all enjoyed getting involved with. We had a top level room, which had beautiful views of the Serengeti planes. We even spotted elephants in the distance when enjoying cocktails on our balcony. The facilities and amenities were good, and our room was clean and spacious. We really appreciated the turn down service in the evening. The lodge has no perimeter fence, therefore you will be escorted to and from dinner from your lodge. You will be surrounded by the wild sounds of the Serengeti. We could hear hyenas very close by in the evenings. The staff helped us organise a special dinner and cake for my father’s birthday, they got all the staff involved with a song and dance. Overall the lodge provided everything and more, this was our first safari trip, and we would definitely recommend the Serena Serengeti lodge. We made some everlasting memories during our special safari trip.

This was our third Serena Hotel in our safari with Serena. It seems that most of the accommodations out in the middle of the Serengeti are tent camps, and this is a luxury hotel. It is certainly a nice place to return after a tough day of driving through the park. We had the same guide throughout, and he seemed to know all the other guides in the park. There are constant updates through radio on where the best animals are. It is obviously very dynamic on the very large Serengeti with animals on the move. The pool is beautiful and there was nice entertainment, although the most important was a nice shower and comfy bed. We had some customized food orders which were all handled well. Service was fantastic, internet pretty sketchy. There were some tour groups, but they seated us separately at meals.

i spent our last 3 nights at serena safari lodge in serengenti ,its location in the valley makes it so unique and good spot when it comes to wildlife spotting ,i would say my ground handlers of certified safaris uganda made a good choice when making bookings

Terrible Experience. I paid a very high price and had a very unpleasant experience. It was terrible. I definitely made a reservation at the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and it was confirmed. However, on the afternoon of the reservation day, they said they had no space at Safari Lodge and would move our group to a better accommodation. And after going off-road for over an hour, we arrived at a tent, not a lodge. It was already dark and no further movement was possible, so they said we had no choice but to sleep there. So we had no choice but to sleep there, and they said they couldn't give us a refund since we had already slept there. No matter how good the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is, even if you booked there, you could end up staying in a tent in another remote location. Even though its name is Serena, you should know that it is on a whole different level from the Safari Lodge you chose. I wouldn't want to take that risk again. What's even more problematic is that this isn't the first time this has happened, and it happens often. I would say that paying big money and booking Serena Lodge is a bit of a risk.

A honeymoon with the wait. The vast plains seemed idylic and such an Amazon mg experience. The rooms are nice although once again Abit outdated, but the experience of the bush made up for all of it. From the guides to the staff everything was top notch. Beautiful meals and lunch boxes.

We traveled to the Serena hotel in the Serengeti to get married whilst on a holiday in Tanzania , from the initial booking of the wedding they were absolutely fantastic we only gave them 7 weeks notice and they communicated and organised it so well and stress free, the accommodation is absolutely beautiful and so spotlessly clean and the staff service is fantastic along with the food . I unfortunately got sick before I arrived and the hotel had a doctor waiting for me who gave me everything I needed and the care was second to none thank you Dr Kate 🙏. Vincent also had to do a lot of reorganising for the wedding day because of my sickness but he did this without any complaints which I am so grateful for . The wedding day was beautiful and so well organised and special with traditional singers and dancers and the ceremony in the bush they all made the day so special for us, they truly could not have done more for us ! Thank you Vincent and all the staff you are all wonderful we look forward to returning some day 🫶☺️ Séamus & Carol

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

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 !
