About Lake Manyara Serena Lodge

Perched high on the edge of the Mto wa Mbu escarpment, the Lake Manyara Serena Lodge provides a commanding perspective over the Rift Valley. The architecture is distinctly regional, reflecting the vibrant culture of the area with curved walls and colorful motifs. The landscape is filled with acacia trees and dramatic rock faces, a stark contrast to the verdant, bird-filled forest below. The lodge offers a polished and consistent experience, providing a comfortable retreat after exploring the lake’s alkaline shores. Guests benefit from its elevated position, which offers a cooler climate and expansive vistas. It is an ideal lodge for those looking for a predictable, high-quality stay while exploring the unique habitat of Manyara, famous for its birdlife and unique tree-climbing lions.

Why we like it

The lodge's elevated design ensures that every guest has a magnificent vantage point of the Rift Valley, regardless of their room.
