Lake Manyara Serena Lodge is one of the most spectacularly situated camps in the whole of Africa. Perched on the edge of a high escarpment you can sit on its terraces or the private verandah of your room and enjoy an incredible view down over Lake Manyara and the surrounding countryside for miles around. The rooms are built in traditional rondovals, each reflecting local traditions and handicrafts. All have en suite facilities. It makes the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area.

Mto wa Mbu is located in open country about 130 kilometres from Arusha, about a 2 ½ hour drive from the airport. An small airstrip is located near to the property and a small aircraft transfer service is offered for those who wish.

What can only be described as a panoramic view awaits all guests that arrive at this luxurious lodge. The view is unobstructed for miles around making you stop to ask yourself the question, why in the world did you wait so long to visit this part of of the world? One of the first things that becomes evident is the bird-life that surrounds the lake and then the astounding beauty of Lake Manyara itself.

Water surrounds the Lake Manyara Serena and because of that you will find many activities that are offered will include the lake itself. On the other hand if you are interested in cooling off from the heat of the day a swimming pool and pool deck is available for your convenience. Many opportunities await you for dining and they range from an outside dining terrace where you are able to appreciate the romantic atmosphere of your surroundings or you can be a bit more traditional at the central dining room and bar.

All standard rooms come fully equipped with amenities that guests would expect such as mineral water and toiletries, bathrobe and slippers and connection to the outside world through WiFi and telephone.

You can spend your days and nights at Lake Manyara Serena just lazing around and appreciating where you are, or you can participate in some adventurous activities. You can begin with a boating trip around the lake and have one of the local tour guides introduce you to some of the native wildlife or maybe you are the type that prefers to lead yourself down your own path of adventure as you canoe on the lake under your own steam.

There is nothing more tranquil than an early morning walk as you encounter a variety of bird-life along the way. If this sounds too laid back for you maybe mountain bike riding is more to your liking as you deal with a more rugged terrain in the area. Sign up for a game drive (day or night) and experience what a safari in Tanzania is all about. Whatever your favorite pastime may be you are certain to have the time of your life at this lodge.
