Serengeti Serena is a large lodge built as clusters of stone-walled, thatched rondavels along an acacia ridge in the central Serengeti, arranged around an infinity pool that faces the plains. Accommodation is in standard king, twin and triple rooms of conventional hotel format, plus one suite. Facilities include a main restaurant with terrace, a view deck used for breakfast, a spa, a gift shop and 24-hour room service. Activities are game drives in the Seronera area, balloon safaris, bush breakfasts and dinners, guided nature walks, birdwatching and sundowners. Its scale and price point make it one of the main options for scheduled group itineraries in the park.
What sets it apart
It is one of the few genuinely large-capacity lodges inside the central Serengeti, which puts it at a substantially lower rate than the small camps around it.
Who it suits
Group and scheduled itineraries; families; central Serengeti at lower cost.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Serengeti, Tanzania. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
