A great Lodge sitting on escapment overlooking the expansive Lake Manyara. Serene landscaped grounds, helpful staff. The rooms are Manyatta styled giving that Maasai theme and overlooking the gorge walls. A nice bar with evening music entertainment and great cuisine.

This was our second stay at Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge and again we were delighted with this place. The facility is wonderfully located, well maintained with friendly service. The welcome with a tasty cake made a big impression on us. The two-room cottage met our requirements perfectly.

This was our first place of stay when we went to Tanzania for a family safari. The lodge was very nice located on top of a hill and afforded beautiful views of Lake Manyara and the surrounding forests. There is a nice jogging trail leading to a vista view. The lodge itself was well-maintained and cozy.

Started our safari in Lake Manyara. This lodge was a hidden gem we returned to after hours in the safari truck. It's located up high overlooking Lake Manyara. Again African style huts. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and genuinely love to talk to you, always calling "Jambo"!

This place is a signature chain of lodges in East africa and you have to stay there at least once because the rooms are the same at every park. The staff is lovely adn friendly, the rooms are a bit old fashion but still has the safari feeling, the garden is tidy and very well manicured, the view is to die for (The Rift Valley and Lake Manyara National Park). The restaurant is extremely classy and food is abundant and different types of food for everyone. My clients were unhappy andd grumpy because of some other issues about the safari. The manager even came to me and asked what he can do about it. It iss very sweet that he noticed the situation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view of Lake Manyara was spectacular from the lodge and our room. The staff were helpful and attentive. Food was good and expertly served. The lodge has an interesting design and the grounds are beautiful. We did a night time game viewing in Lake Manyara National Park and saw animals we did not see during the daytime, including great views of a leopard hunting.

Garlic Allergy Although I had notified Serena Head office of my garlic allergy, Serena Lake Manyara. did not know on arrival. The chef prepared me a separate meal which was excellent. We were invited back for lunch on our return journey to prove that the food could be prepared. We were treated to a special location, excellent food to address the earlier problem. I cannot fault the staff in their desire to remedy the situation and give us a good experience overall.
