A wonderful hotel with top service and comfortable rooms. We went in the dry season, so the mosquito bed nets were not even needed. Ask for outside seating for lunch and dinner or you will not get it. Lunch, especially; that's when the baboons join you a few feet away! No matter how much you enjoy game drives, don't forget... more

We stayed just 1 night as part of a package. The inifity pool was great, quite cold but with fantastic feeling of space. Evening food was mediocre, breakfast was good. Rooms are large and well equiped. Everything here is good but it is hard to love the place. The service is a little overbearing and somehow the whole atmosphere is... more

I stayed at the Serena Lake Manyara following a hike up Kilimanjaro and a day trip to the Ngorongoro Crater in early August. The hotel is perched on the edge of the Rift Valley escarpment and was an above average hotel. The service and staff were very good (although a little pushy at times) and the food was varied and... more

Stayed for one night during a weeks safari. Excellent lodge, the rooms were spacious and clean, with ceiling fans and mosquito nets (although never saw any mosquito's).Very pretty place on the edge of the Rift Valley. Food was good, as was the service. Infinity pool looked inviting but a bit chilly. Somak holidays had arrange for a 'bush breakfast' outside... more

My wife and I stayed at the Serena Lake Manyara lodge for one night. The location is excellent with great views. I would rate this place as average. Easy access to the park and great location. The food was mediocre at best. What put me off was the staff. They seemed rather pushy in attempts to get tips. I realize... more

We stayed at this lovely Serena property for one night late December. We could see what the potential view would be like as we drove up the escarpment to the lodge so on arrival we asked for "a room with a view" They were very obliging & off we went to our upstairs room. Unfortunately the first attempt was a... more

We stayed for 2 nights with my family(8 of us) and couldn't have picked a better lodge. After the long,bumpy and dusty drive from Nairobi via Arusha,we were given a warm welcome with a cold towel and fruit juice. The rooms were clean and decent size and well located not far from dining room. The staff were very friendly and... more

I stayed here a week ago for 2 nights as part of a Safari. The views from the swimming pool area of Lake Manyara National Park are outstanding. It really is a spectacular sight you will never forget. Guests are accommodated in luxury African style "huts" that contain about 4 hotel rooms in each hut. The room was very large... more

My wife and I took a honeymoon in Tanzania, and Lake Manyara was an intermediate stop for 2 days. We were upgraded to a suite, which had 1) a fantastic bathroom, 2) a TV, and 3) wi-fi access. After being off the grid for a week (and having families that worry for no reason), we were glad to be able... more
