In a stunning location, perched high on the edge of the escarpment, Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge has commanding views over Tanzania’s Great Rift Valley, and the northern end of Lake Manyara National Park, 300m below. During the dry season, bushbuck and dikdik climb the steep scarp to browse and graze in the lodge’s cool, shady gardens. Like most of the Serena properties in East Africa, this is a big lodge, accommodating up to 145 guests.
