Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is perched on the rim of the crater, offering outstanding views over the Ngorongoro vista. The clustered boulder-built buildings of the Lodge hug the crater rim and are linked by timber walkways.
The Maasai-inspired dining and bar area features a two-tier wall of windows looking down onto the crater below. The atmosphere is relaxed and candle-lit whilst the menu choices include traditional Maasai fare, long-time safari favourites and internationally themed menus alike.
At the end of an action-packed day, guests can follow a gentle nature trail that loops around the Lodge through moss-hung glades and plunging ravines, take a guided walk to the Crater’s rim, relax with a herbal massage, or watch as the burning sun sinks behind the mountains from a unique vantage point.
