Lodges Central Serengeti

Central Serengeti lodges put you in the thick of Tanzania’s wildlife epicenter, balancing raw nature with tailored comfort. Whether you’re gearing up or winding down, they’ve got you covered.

Arriving in the Central Serengeti—often via flight or a long drive—you’ll want a lodge that’s restful yet positioned for early game drives. Seronera’s central location makes it ideal for exploring all directions.

• Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge
  Perched on a ridge overlooking the Seronera Valley (around $250-$450/night), this mid-to-high-range lodge features 66 Maasai-inspired rondavels with balconies facing the plains. Pre-safari, its infinity pool and hearty breakfast (fresh fruits, omelets) help you recover from travel, while the central location—near Seronera Airstrip (10 km)—means quick access to game drives. It’s family-friendly, with a kids’ program, and the sunset views prime you for the wild ahead.

• Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti
  In the Seronera area (around $800-$1500/night), this luxury lodge offers 77 rooms, suites, and villas with private balconies or plunge pools. Before a safari, the spa, three pools (including an infinity one overlooking a waterhole), and gourmet dining set a plush tone. Its elevated design lets you spot elephants or giraffes from the deck, building excitement. The airstrip shuttle (15 minutes) adds convenience after a flight.

• Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge
  Near Seronera overlooking the Nyabogati Valley (around $300-$500/night), this mid-range camp has 25 tents with wooden floors, en-suite bathrooms, and decks. After a safari, the pool, sundowner cocktails, and hearty meals (think grilled meats and Tanzanian stews) hit the spot. The elevated setting offers sweeping views, and the cozy vibe makes it a great spot to decompress.
