Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Lake Manyara National Park


The 67 well-appointed rooms in this large complex occupy appealing two-storey conical thatched bungalows in shady grounds. Nature walks and village visits are available, as is massage. There's no extra cost for the fine views (the best are from the swimming pool). It lacks the intimacy and naturalness of other escarpment properties but is nevertheless a justifiably popular choice.
