Offering an outdoor pool, Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is nestled in the Western Corridor, near Grumeti River on a tree-clad ridge with sweeping views of the Serengeti National Park. Groves of acacia trees watered by sparkling streams cool down the property. The accommodation is fitted with a seating area. Each unit is equipped with a private bathroom with a shower. Towels are offered. Designed to melt into nature, it includes a series of traditional domed rondavels. On the very edge of the ridge is a ‘vanishing horizon' pool, which looks out over the ‘endless plains' after which the Serengeti is named. Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge also includes a barbecue. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. The property also offers packed lunches. Seronera Airstrip is 16.1 km from Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

    In the heart of Serengeti, with animals walking around in the night, this place is extremely beautiful and plenty of the most beautiful african "atmosphere". The room/bungalow was so romantic and had an amazing view on the Serengeti valley....
