Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Location & Description

Lake Manyara Serena stands high on the bluff of a dramatic ochre and terracotta streaked cliff above the flamingo-frosted expanse of Lake Manyara’s gleaming alkaline waters, the Lodge commands panoramic views across the volcano-studded floor of the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge is designed to reflect the brilliance of Lake Manyara’s unique birdlife, the Lodge draws on an inspirational architectural motif that melds swooping avian curves with the gentle concentric patterns of traditional Maasai ‘Bomas’ (encampments) whilst the vibrantly coloured frescoes lining the walls are designed to depict the colourful intricacy of bird migratory patterns.

Accommodation

The circular, closely-thatched rooms echo the traditional Maasai 'Boma' style of construction whilst featuring a vibrant interior design concept that reflects the Maasai people's abiding love of brilliant scarlet-and-indigo checked 'Shukas' (cloaks) and bright yellow, white, blue and orange beadwork. Each room has a private veranda and breathtaking views of the shimmering reaches of the flamingo-frosted Lake. Lake Manyara Serena has a total of 67 en-suite guest rooms.

Dining & Cuisine

The lodge's main area includes a dining room with indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, lounge, and a curio shop. Enjoy an eclectic mix of African and international dishes served nightly in the Lodge's dining room. After dinner, you may choose to have coffee or drinks while you sit around a campfire and watch local musicians and actors perform traditional pieces.
