Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

When 16 Australian photographers hit the Serengeti for the last 3 days of our 15-day East Safari, we were so excited to see the migration just a few kilometres from the Serena Serengeti resort. We thought we had seen it all, but in 3 days, we saw hippos, lions, leopards, and the natural phenomenon of mother nature, the migration.|We came back each day to this amazing resort with a sunset viewing point. Our dining table was outside overlooking the grounds with sensational food, our waiter John catered for our every needs. Our bungalows were a delight.. wildlife wandered the outskirts ..our baloon ride on the last day was perfection ..|Serena Serengeti.Thank you for a smashing time.||

Had a great two day stay in this very interesting lodge (Walk into your room felt a little like walking through the Shire from Lord of the Rings). The rooms had fans which was very nice if the evenings were warm and muggy. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was great and there was plenty of it! ||The views of the Serengeti from the pool area are not to be missed.

What a gorgeous lodge. Spent 2 nights. The rooms were large and beautiful with balcony that looked over the Serengeti. Sometime the animals are in your back yard. The staff so friendly and the food was wonderful. Anything you could want. Loved the traditional dance at 6:30 each night. Could have spent more time there. The setting was beautiful and you felt like you were in the middle of the Serengeti!

Architecture, shape typical of the Maasai's huts. Well Equipped. Amazing views over landscape. The food was of excellent quality. A wide variation. The Staff was polite and helpful. The front of desk can improve on friendliness, they are not very welcoming.

Serengeti Serena is my favorite Lodge in the Serengeti. The cabins are amazing. After a long day in Serengeti the bar is a great place to have a beer or two..And listen to some authentic African music. Food is well above average. With a great selection for all travelers… The view of the Serengeti is well worth the stay… We used Roy’s Safari as our guide service. Well worth it…||So in our minds it was an amazing place. Wish we had more time to stay there. We will be coming back…|Thank you|Bob & Brenda Visser

The day I arrived there was controlled burning happening so it was very smoky, there weren't any views and it was hard to breathe. Thankfully the next day the smoke cleared and the views were great. The room doesn't have a/c or heat, only a fan and blankets. There was no sheet, only a comforter on the bed. There also wasn't any hair conditioner, or an outlet in the bathroom. Meals were included but apparently drinks aren't, and the food was just ok. There's a small store onsite with jewelry, souvenirs and a very small selection of toiletries. You can use USD and credit cards here.

We were so impressed by Serena Safari Lodge when we stayed for two nights as part of a safari tour we had booked through Trailfinders in the UK for our honeymoon. Pictures struggle to adequately convey the majesty of the place. Our room overlooked the bush and we could see wild animals including wildebeest and zebra grazing right outside our balcony. Other members of our tour also saw a leopard not too far away from the main entrance as they were driving to an early-morning excursion - which neatly demonstrates why you need guards to escort you from your room to the main bar/dining area after dark! Next to the pool there is a fantastic observation deck offering a panoramic view of the vast Serengeti plains. We were lucky enough to have a sunrise breakfast there one morning, as thousands of wildebeest gathered on the horizon ahead of the Great Migration - accompanied by some brilliant entertainment laid on by the highly professional staff. We were particularly impressed by Pius, the restaurant manager, who could not have done more to make our honeymoon as special as possible - with staff even singing to us and presenting us with a cake one evening. We are enormously grateful to him for his attentiveness and personal touch throughout our stay, it's the type of thing that helps to make trips like these particularly special. My wife is a vegetarian and she was extremely pleased with the range of delicious options for all our meals.

The moment we entered the Serena Safari Lodge we knew we were in for an amazing , unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of Tanzania's iconic Serengeti National Park, this resort offers a blend of luxury, adventure, and nature that is truly unparalleled. The dining experience was out of this world. This is a place where dreams come true—don't miss it.
