(Luxury Game Lodge - Ngorongoro crater rim)

Location
Perched on the rim of the crater, camouflaged in river-stone and cloaked in indigenous creepers, the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a unique blend of world-class luxury, timeless volcanic splendour and ethnic style.

Lodge and rooms
Strung around the crater rim, the lodge offers 75 rooms, each with its own rock-enclosed balcony, brass lamps, embossed leather headboards, wildwood mirrors and Maasai carvings. The rooms are fully air-conditioned and enjoy uninterrupted views over the Crater. The rooms all have en-suite facilities with a walk in wardrobe, hairdryers and central heating facilities to help alleviate those cold winter nights on the crater rim.

The interior of the rest of the lodge is lit by flaming wall-lanterns, clad in gigantic volcanic boulders and decorated by the iron spears, bright-beaded robes and intricately carven Maasai artefacts. Other facilities include a Maasai-inspired split-level dining and bar area, looking down on to the crater below, and a traditional circular fireside meeting area. The atmosphere is relaxed and candle-lit whilst the menu choices include traditional Maasai fare, long-time safari favourites and internationally themed menus.
