Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Nestled on the dramatic rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a testament to how luxury can be woven into the fabric of the wild. This lodge, part of the prestigious Serena chain, is not only a stay but an experience, integrating seamlessly with its prehistoric surroundings. The architecture is a bold statement, using local stone and native plants to create a structure that feels like it has always been part of the crater’s edge.

The lodge’s design draws from the ancient past, with rooms built into the landscape, offering guests a unique opportunity to live among the echoes of time. Each room is a blend of comfort and cultural richness, with decor inspired by the local Maasai and the crater’s own cave paintings. This setting is ideal for those who seek luxury with a narrative, where history, nature, and comfort intertwine.

However, the lodge’s unique architecture, with its walkways and balconies, means it’s not suitable for children under 6 for safety reasons, ensuring the tranquility and safety of all guests.
