Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a triumph of ecological and architectural fusion, perched on the jagged rim of the crater, wreathed in the morning mist, camouflaged in river-stone and cloaked in indigenous creepers.

Sensitively constructed so as to take nothing from its environment whilst affording endless vistas over the heat-shimmering reaches of the crater below, the clustered boulder-built buildings of the Lodge hug the crater rim, linked by rope-lashed timber walkways that skirt the buttressed roots of ancient, liana-hung trees.

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a unique blend of world-class luxury, timeless volcanic splendour and ethnic style. As for the views, from lilac-streaked sunrise to indigo star-studded night, the immeasurably ancient Ngorongoro Crater delivers a theatre of vistas, most unchanged since the dawn of time.

Looking for a unique safari experience? Then look no further than our full selection of only the best Ngorongoro Lodges! We've hand-picked a range of lodges that offer easy access to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Whether you're looking for luxury accommodations on the crater rim or a more budget-friendly option in Oldeani or Karatu, we have something for everyone.

Experiencing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is an experience you will never forget!

Rooms and Suites

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge has 75 rooms, 74 standard rooms and a single Suite. All rooms have their own rock-enclosed balcony.

The rooms feature brass lamps, embossed leather headboards, wildwood mirrors, Maasai carvings and flamboyant prehistoric wall motifs depicting fleeing giraffes, stylised gazelle and plunging buffalo.

Each room draws on a cave-grey, indigo-blue and jasper-red colour scheme, is fully air-conditioned and enjoys uninterrupted views over the Crater's unmatched splendour.

Cuisine and Wine

The Maasai-inspired, split-level dining and bar area features a two-tier wall of windows looking down onto the constantly changing vistas of 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.
