I stayed there for one night at the start of my trip. The lodge is less than an hour from JRO Kilimanjaro Airport in a quiet location. The rooms are nestled in clusters in round huts with large surrounding gardens. They are clean and comfortable and have all amenities, the only thing missing are slippers. Nice is the complementary water... More

After the long travel from London we arrived at this lovely oasis of calm and serenity. The property is beautiful and the rooms very nice and in a very peacefull location within the gardens.

First the property is beautiful, the gardens are well planted and maintained and everything is well labeled. The rooms are also very nice and the staff is extremely friendly.

Serena Mountain Village is perched in a Serene environment a fwe kilometres from Arusha town and overlooking Lake Duluti. Although Tanzanians seems a little bit laid back service is good and staff friendly. The main building a former farm house currently housing the reception, dining and admin offices has a lovely ambiance. The rooms are spacious and very clean .... More

Good points: Lovely old coffee planters mansion set in gardens and grounds with views to Lake Daluti. Food was very acceptible. Close to kilimanjaro Airport, and away from the dust/noise of Arusha.Rooms were clean,spacious and comfortable. Negatives: An African menu option would be good, the approach road leaves one wondering where on earth you are going. More

A true gem, I only wish we had more time there. The old plantation house is beautiful, and be sure to make time to hike/ tour Lake Duluti. More

While lacking the stunning views and amenities of it's cousins at Ngorongoro and Serengeti, Serena at Arusha offers a warm welcome to Tanzania upon landing in Tanzania. Large gardens, a play area sorrounded by trees, access to a small lake, all add to the charm of this lodge. Arusha is a bustling town of a million, and this lodge is... More
