Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
My Safari
Located on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater and near to Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge has been thoughtfully designed to blend in with the nearby Olduvai Gorge – known as the ‘Cradle of Mankind’.
It has 75 rooms positioned around the crater rim, each with en suite facilities and rock enclosed balcony affording fantastic views of the Crater below. Walls are decorated with stylized prehistoric cave paintings and Maasai carvings, and have telephone and wi-fi.
At the heart of the lodge is a glowing fire which is kept constantly alight. There are extensive viewing terraces, a gift shop and satellite TV room, as well as a bar. The dining room has a wall of windows looking down to the crater below. Buffet style breakfast and lunch are served here as well as a table d’hote dinner menu. All meals use locally sourced produce where possible.
Activities: Wildlife and cultural talks, videos and film shows, daily game drives into the Crater. Cultural dance and music. nature walks around the Crater rim, birdwatching, breakfast or BBQ lunch in the Crater, cultural visits to Maasai villages and cattle markets.
Africa is home to many thousands of species of birds, so don't forget your binoculars and spotting guide.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
