I have stayed in a number of Serena Hotels, and was thus terribly shocked by the quality of this property. The reception, rooms and general ambiance lack finesse. The bed and bedding felt old and the "Serena pillow" was missing. I mean the room was ordinary.... The food was great though....good variety and taste. I would highly recommend a total... More

This was our 2nd stop on our week's Safari tour of Tanzania. We arrived in time for lunch, which was served on a terrasse overlooking the infinity pool and beautiful Lake Manyara beyond. The room was comfortable, but in order for all of them to have a view, they are stretched out quite a long way, so it was a... More

The view from the infinity pool was amazing. The room was comfortable and the food very good as was the service. The public areas were also comfortable with Internet access. It was a much smaller place than we had been used to but we enjoyed out 2 night break here. The park however is not the Serengeti so not so... More

It's the location that fantastic. The hotel overlooks Lake Manyara and is located within a tranquil forest.

We stayed in three different Serena Lodges and we were not disappointed in any of them. Each one had very unique African architecture. Service was great. Amenities met all our needs. The grounds at each location were beautiful and well maintained. Highly recommend them.

The reception area is very cool and there are benches to sit on whilst completing your registration form and receiving information about the hotel. Your bags are carried along winding paths to rooms which are in round thatched buildings. My room was on the ground floor and the... More

This lodge is located on top of the escarpment above the Rift Valley. It also has a lovely infinity pool overlooking Lake Manyara. The pool is not very warm, so it is nice to get here before the sun goes down to enjoy it. They have large breakfast buffet with champagne. I love making mimosas with one of their 6... More

We spent 2 days at the lodge in November as part of our honeymoon in Tanzania. We were greeted immediately by the lodge Manager, Mr. Mustafa Mbinga, who was charming, friendly and professional. He ensured our room was satisfactory to us, gave us a quick tour of the facilities and made us feel right at home. The grounds are stunning... More

Beautiful lodge with a great view of the lake. Also is close to the Manyara national park where we saw yesterday evening monkeys, Antilopa , two Lions , birds and manyother animals. We had dinner here and breakfast, good is acceptable for such a safari trip not gourme food but certainly eatable, surprisingly they have good espressos and capucino and... More
