Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
About Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Clinging to the jagged rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, this lodge is designed to mimic the ancient prehistoric dwellings of the area, utilizing local river stone and indigenous design motifs. The setting is dramatic, providing breathtaking views across the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. The architecture emphasizes high arches and stone interiors, creating a cool, cavernous atmosphere that complements the misty highland air. Wildlife enthusiasts use this as a premier starting point to descend into the crater for world-class game viewing, where the density of species is among the highest in Africa. It is a refined, substantial property that offers consistent comfort, providing a serene environment to return to after a day exploring the unique, enclosed ecosystem of the crater floor.
Why we like it
The architectural integration into the crater rim is masterful, offering guests a feeling of absolute scale and wonder every time they step outside.
