This is an excellent property located at the rim of Ngorongoro rim. Location is superb, amidst dense forest offering panoramic view of Ngorongoro crater. Architecture of the property is good. Staff is hospitable. Restaurant is good. Undoubtedly, the property is overpriced.

he Serena hotels are excellent and a class above the other hotels we stayed during our Safari. Location, location, location. Serena has an unparalled view of the Ngorngoro crater and each room has a balcony overlooking the crater. This is a great location for a base for Safaris to the crater. We ordered a packed picnic breakfast, which was the best picnic food /packed food we had from any hotel during our Safari, including hot coffee, and tea, and food (including vegetarian) that we enjoyed at a picnic spot within the crater. Lunch and dinner service were excellent, thanks to Erick and the team. Lunch was a set menu which included vegetarian options. Excellent bread, salad and soups. At dinner, the bread, and soups were brought to the table, with an excellent buffet including main course, salads and desserts. Truly a cut above the other food and service we have had on our safari.

An outstanding feature of the lodge is the view. We arrived just in time to see the sunset. Our room, and it appeared that a good portion of rooms, have a great view! This hotel was larger than many we visited on our trip and it seemed that it had less “soul”. I realize that’s a subjective hard to describe term. It felt more business-like than other places. The restaurant staff seemed stressed. Our box lunch the following day was prepared by the lodge and it had many items that we didn’t request (muffin, chips, etc.) that came with lots of packaging. The sandwich in the lunch was not very tasty. It just seemed to be wasteful. I don’t think there are lots of options in the area. It certainly is fine for a night, but I would arrange for a different lunch over the lodge’s box lunch.

Sehr schöne Zimmer mit Balkon, tolle Aussicht auf den Krater. Alles sauber und liebevoll gestaltet. Personal mehrheitlich freundlich. Sehr feines Essen, grosse Auswahl, abwechslungsreiches Buffet. Definitiv empfohlen, auch dank der gute Lage.

Again, another amazing Serena Lodge. Right on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. Various antelope wander right in front of you and the occasional monkey. The views down 2000 ft into the crater are amazing. The construction of this lodge is unique, all rocks and wood.

Wie bereits vielfach beschrieben: Alles war gut, aber es kam kein Safari -Feeling auf. Zu viele Gäste, hektische Atmosphäre, sehr grosses Buffet, Zimmer zweckmäßig eingerichtet - aber gigantischer Blick. Der muß teuer bezahlt werden.
