Lake Manyara Serena is very comfortable, although not a very exciting hotel; however it has one of the finest swimming pools. In addition there are perhaps the best vistas of Lake Manyara as well as the quickest access to Serengeti Park to take game drives.
Manyara Serena can be reached from the tourist town of Arusha and it is very near Lake Manyara National Park. It is found on the peak of the Great Rift Valley escarpment looking over the northern side of Lake Manyara.
If you prefer smaller camps then Gibb’s Farm and Plantation Lodge in Karatu are probably a better bet. However, there are a couple of things about Lake Manyara Serena Lodge that are outstanding. The first is the stupendous view of Lake Manyara itself. You are literally right on the edge of the escarpment and below you the ground falls away over 1000ft to the bottom of the rift valley floor. Add to that the second thing, which is the swimming pool at Serena Lodge, right on the edge of the rift and you can see that there aren’t many better places to while away an afternoon, particularly if you have children with you.
