My wife and I stayed here in June 2008 for our honeymoon. We loved the view from our room. The lodge is on a hill and the views are beautiful, we got to see the sun set from our deck every night! The food was overall pretty good although I would say that the breakfast was just average. There is... more

On our way from Ngorongoro to our lodge we encountered 4 of Big 5 including the Leopard: a very promising start! The Serengeti lived up to this promise during our stay and proved to be really beautiful! Arriving at the lodge we were greeted with a nice hot towel and a glass of mangojuice. The staff was very friendly from... more

We were traveling with our children (6, 9 & 11) so this was a perfect spot for us in the top-of-the-line but traveling with children category. We stayed in Bungalow 12 which is a suite (sweet!) and it was really nice to be all together as many hotels put a family of 5 in two rooms. The bungalows are spacious... more

The hotel huts reminded me of an Ewok village, they were warm, cosy, clean and very well appointed (apart from the missing umbrella in the cupboard). The leopard print bedspreads gave it a african touch! ;o) When the evening garden lights came on it gave the atmosphere a magical feel. It was just a little unfortunate we had a downstairs... more

I enjoyed staying at the Serena Seronera Lodge. The lodge is actually a main reception and restaurant area surrounded by a few dozen small buildings each with 4 guest-rooms in them. Some of the rooms were a bit of a walk from the central area, but ours was right nearby which was nice. The lodge is located about 30 minutes... more

The Serena has a great lodge ambience and safari style, and the public areas, especially the bar and dining room, are cozy and inviting--it is a great place to enjoy a post-game drive drink and watch the sun set over the Serengeti. The food was really good, too, although the drinks were pricey. The rooms, however, in 2 story Maasai-style... more

Yep, tired is probably about the best description. Set in a wonderful landscape and surrounded by great wildlife the Serena needs a significant facelift. I guess the place was built in the 80s and it has not had much love and attention since then. On the positive side staff were friendly, rooms were reasonably clean, bed was comfortable and food... more

We booked a six day safari and after much research decided to stay at Serena hotels only. The Serengeti Serena was our favorite. The property is beautiful. I don't think you can get better views of the Serengeti anywhere else. We loved our room (#32) which also has an incredible view! We were there for two nights and found the... more

We booked our entire vacation through Serena Hotels with a goal of being married after a balloon flight over the Serengeti. We stayed at various hotels throughout Kenya and Tanzania from 1-2 nights. Due to scheduling we only had one night at Serengeti Lodge, but the entire staff made our stay memorable. They arranged the entire wedding, including music/dancers, handled... more
