Lake Manyara Serena

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge stands high above Lake Manyara and commands panoramic views across the volcano-studded floor of the Great Rift Valley.
 
Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge has 67 circular, thatched ensuite rooms that echo the traditional Maasai 'Boma' style of construction.  Inside they are vibrantly decorated to reflect the Maasai love of red and indigo and in the them of 'bird migration'.  The circular dining room which seats 150 has outstanding views over the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Striking murals in the open-air bar area feature avian-inspired frescoes, and there are colourful Maasai artifacts and a unique domed basketwork ceiling.
