Lake Manyara Serena
Lake Manyara Safari Lodge is part of the Serena Hotel chain. The lodge sits on the edge of the rift looking down over Lake Manyara itself. It is large, with 50 guest rooms built in circular thatched bungalows on either side of the main central area. There is a TV room and a large swimming pool with spectacular views of the rift below.
The lodge offers a range of safari activities, including canoe safaris on Lake Manyara, camping safaris with overnight stays at a fly-camp, mountain bike rides along the escarpment and Lake Manyara National Park, as well as guided nature walks.
Day 03 - Early morning departure to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. This 102-square-mile paradise was formed by the collapse of an ancient volcano more than twenty-five million years ago. The resulting rich fertile soil has produced lush vegetation that has attracted more than 30,000 resident mammals and a delicate balance of predator and prey. There is a good chance of seeing the “Big Five” during your day’s game driving on the crater’s floor. Enjoy a picnic lunch, served near a hippo pool. In the afternoon, you proceed to Ngorongoro Serena Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
WELCOME TO Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge - stay right on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater
Tanzania’s prehistoric Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, has yawned heavenward for millennia. Deep within its immense walls is a breath-taking blue-green landscape dotted with plains, lakes and forests; an eerie, otherworldly “land that time forgot” thick with massive bull elephants, rhinos, wildebeests and the highest concentration of lions in Africa.
Nestled high above the plains into the Crater’s jagged rim, cloaked in river stone and indigenous vines, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is barely visible to the naked eye. Framed by arched stone passages and timbered decks, its torch-lit walls are adorned with stylized cave paintings. At the stone heart of the lodge burns a glowing fire, which is kept constantly alight. Rooms are looped around the Crater rim. Each has its own rock-enclosed balcony, and all enjoy completely uninterrupted views of the volcanic amphitheatre far below. Our Ngorongoro hotel lodge is a place that feels as ancient as the Crater itself, yet no modern comfort has been spared in an effort to bring you the best safari adventure in Africa and one of the most unique travel experiences in the world.
