Set high on the
saddle of tree-clad ridge commanding panoramic views over
the endlessly rolling reaches and volcanic reefs of the
Serengeti, the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate
fusion of traditional African architecture and world-class
style. Drawing its inspiration from the circular ‘Rondavel’
dwellings and winding paths of a traditional Maasai village,
the Lodge features thickly-thatched, stone-built rooms,
spaciously set amongst groves of indigenous trees that are
cooled by sparkling streams and papyrus-fringed ponds.
The circular bar, its roof supported by massive carven
figures of warriors, maidens and elders, looks out over the
sky-blue, ‘vanishing horizon’ swimming pool towards the
miles of lion-gold savannah that lie below, wherein is
enacted the thunderous theatre of the million-strong
wildebeest migration. As for views, from lilac-streaked
sunrise, to diamond-domed night, the searingly sensational
Serengeti delivers a series of timeless volcanic vistas that
are second to none.
ACCOMMODATION
Each room is accommodated in a stone-built,
traditionally-thatched 'Rondavel', featuring natural stone
bathrooms, wildwood balconies, rope-lashed staircases,
leopard-print drapes and intricately carved furniture, the
overall effect of which is a unique blend of authentic
ethnicity and world-class elegance. As for the views, from
lilac-streaked sunrise to diamond-domed night, the searingly
sensational Serengeti delivers a series of timeless volcanic
vistas that are second to none.
RESTAURANT AND BAR
Linked by shaded walkways and clustered around the roaring
furnace of the central barbecue arena, the high-domed halls
of the two-tier dining room are supported by massive
papyrus-topped pillars and embellished with sumptuous 'Makonde'
carvings suggesting the audience chamber of a tribal king
whilst the cuisine features time-honoured safari favourites,
local specialities and internationally themed dishes alike.
