Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Standing high on the bluff of a dramatic ochre and terracotta streaked cliff above the flamingo-frosted expanse of Lake Manyara’s gleaming alkaline waters, the Lodge commands panoramic views across the volcano-studded floor of the Great Rift Valley.

Lake Manyara National Park home to tree climbing Lions is nestled at the base of the escarpment on the eastern side of the Great Rift Valley. The Great Rift forms part of a fault in the earth's crust which runs 800 km from Turkey to the mouth of the Zambezi River in Mozambique. The word Manyara is of a Masaai origin which is a thin succulent cactus like plant known as "Euphorbia Tincalli". This plant was grown for livestock stockades. The Hotel situated high above Lake Manyara National park offers exceptional views over the National Park. The National Park is 330 km squared. The National Park boasts over 380 bird species and a large variety of flora and fauna with diverse habitats. The Lake, famous for its millions of flamingos can be easy seen whilst lazing around the pool or viewing deck.
