Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Ngorongoro Crater

This lodge is located right on the rim of Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s most unique and breath-taking natural wonders. Due to its setting on the crater's edge, you have panoramic views of the crater floor, which is home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. This strategic location allows you to experience the incredible biodiversity of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The lodge’s design is inspired by the architectural style of traditional Maasai huts, with the stone-clad walls, thatched roofs, and indigenous timber used in construction to reflect the lodge's commitment to the environment. All of the 74 rooms enjoy spectacular crater views from either a balcony or a terrace and are designed using the local landscape and wildlife as inspiration. A lounge, bar and dining area, along with a sweeping panoramic terrace are all designed to benefit from the breath-taking views of the crater and wider landscape.

You’re ideally positioned for exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Game drives into the crater provide opportunities to see an array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, rhinos, and an astonishing variety of bird species. The lodge also offers guided walks along the crater rim, where you can learn about the local flora and fauna while enjoying the views. The lodge’s bar and lounge, with its large stone fireplace, provides a perfect spot to relax and reflect on the day's adventures.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
