SERENA LODGES
AND HOTELS.
Often described as
the ‘Eighth’ Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro crater is so
spectacular that it touches all the senses. A volcanic crater of
over 259 square kilometres with surrounding walls rising 609 metres
above it, the crater is a natural sanctuary for over 25,000 animals,
including the black rhino. It is also a conservation area inhabited
by the Masai tribe.
The Ngorongoro
Serena Safari Lodge is built onto the rim of this amazing natural
phenomenon, a stunning plant and local creeper covered stone lodge
where guests co-exist in perfect harmony with the surrounding
natural environment and wildlife. Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge,
close to some of the earliest dwellings of man in Olduvai Gorge, has
taken their cave paintings as inspiration. It is built of stones and
boulders and is literally hidden in the vegetation of the crater’s
rim, disappearing completely from view from the crater’s floor.
The interiors are
filled with exquisite wooden furniture and African artefacts, and
stunning frescoes adorn the walls of many rooms and public areas.
All bedrooms have private terraces with uninterrupted views across
the grasslands, forests, lakes and rivers that make up the crater
floor. The hotel has 75 rooms. Activities include game drives
through the crater where you will see a microcosm of
Africa in one
day, bush walks, picnic lunches, excursions to the nearby Oldavai
Gorge, the ‘birthplace of mankind’ and a variety of cultural events.
