Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection

We just got back from a 9day safari where we sept in 8 different places. Melia Serengeti was our absolute favorite. This lodge is more of a luxury resort. I don't think I would stay only here if I go to Africa, but it was a very welcome couple of nights after tents and small lodges. It is luxurious, the rooms are perfectly well appointed, our suite was very big, with two little beds for our kids in the living room (10&12yrs) and a big bed in the bedroom. A full bathroom in the living area, a massive luxury bathroom in the bedroom with a big shower, a stand alone bathtub, enclosed toilet, and extensive closet space. The ammeties in the bathroom were adorable with handmade glass bottles they reuse and maasai bead decorations. The robes, the slippers and other details also had local textiles. We did laundry during these two days and it was a tad pricey but it can be a good idea to do laundry midway in the safari and pack lighter ($8 tshirts, $1-2 undies). The views from the pool area are breathtaking, the whole area with the restaurants and bars were incredible. We stuck to the family-style dinner in the main restaurant and I completely recommend it. Different food for every meal, plenty (more than plenty) of everything in the menu, they will replenish whatever you reorder, they grill on GreenEggs right there when you are ready for your food (are you ever not ready for the butter-soft Tanzanian beef??) Thank you to Nathaniel, the head of the staff at the restaurant for his big smile, hos warm welcome, his friendliness and his insights, you made our stay even more connected with the community and those that made our dream trip absolutely perfect. I recommend the all inclusive if you want to stay a day just at the hotel, because most drinks are included and the meals are plentiful. On our day at the lodge I went on a walking safari (a bit pricey but I don't normally go for a walk in the savannah with a maasai that is willing to answer all of my many questions) and relaxed by the pool with local cocktails (many non-alcoholic options!). Wonderful experience, I don't think it will disappoint anyone.

Everything about this experience was five star! What a gorgeous establishment and a perfect place to stay to get the full Serengeti experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff are professional, kind and helpful. The rooms are amazing with all of the amenities you need. The restaurant is perfectly located with a wonderful view of the Serengeti and all of the food options are vast and well prepared. The pool is beautiful, especially at night! I would highly recommend this hotel if you wanna get the true feel of your stay in the Serengeti!

We had an amazing experience here. This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We are so grateful to the entire staff, especially Mingoriki who made our trip!

We’ve just returned from a two day safari with the team at Melia, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment Gabriel met us at the airport, everything was seamless. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the region, and incredible spotting skills made the trip unforgettable. Navigating the terrain is no small feat, yet Gabriel missed nothing, spotting an eagle post hunt on our way to the airport was just one of many highlights. Gabriel’s patience and commitment to ensuring we captured the perfect shot truly set him apart. A picnic lunch under an Acacia tree was a particularly special moment, adding a personal touch to an already remarkable journey. The hotel itself is exceptional, with breathtaking views across the Serengeti. We only wish we had stayed longer. The view from the treadmill in the gym might just be the best in the world.

Would like to start by mentioning and thanking some of the staff: John the GM, Nathaniel and Chacha managers in the F&B, Esau from the Bar, David front desk manager and Mathews our game driver. Cannot describe how much these and other members went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome. The hotel rooms are spacious and modern. Food and beverages they have everything to offer even if something you cannot eat or do not like they make changes for you they are so flexible. If we come back to Serengeti we will definitely come back to MELIÁ the hotel and staff tick all the boxes.

A most extraordinary property. The views are spectacular, roo s with balcony are large and private. The service is 5 star plus plus. Food is scrumptious!! Cleanliness is spotless, their staffs attention to your needs are fantastic. I highly recommend staying here.
