This Serena property is a little large for our style but can be a good choice if other options are booked.
Be prepared for buffet meals and more traffic than at other smaller camps. The wildlife in Lake Manyara can be a bit disappointing if you are coming from the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, though the lake vistas and birdlife are spectacular.

Standing high on the bluff of a dramatic ochre and terracotta streaked cliff above the flamingo frosted expanse of Lake Manyaras gleaming alkaline waters, the Serena Lake Manyara Lodge has panoramic views across the volcano studded floor of the Great Rift Valley. Accommodation consists of 67 rooms and a stunning swimming pool with incredible views of Lake Manyara.
Designed to reflect the brilliance of Lake Manyaras unique birdlife, the Lodge draws on an inspirational architectural motif that melds swooping avian curves with the gentle concentric patterns of traditional Maasai bomas while the vibrantly colored frescoes lining the walls are designed to depict the colorful intricacy of bird migratory patterns.
