The setting is extraordinary. Lake Manyara Serena Lodge is located at the edge of the Mto Wa Mbu escarpment, overlooking the Great Rift Valley and the stunning Manyara soda lake. The area has long been known for its tree-climbing lions, while ornithologists from around the world come to observe the masses of pink flamingos and birds of prey around the lake. The abundant birdlife inspired the design of the Lodge - swooping curves are complemented by soft, geometric patterns; striking murals depict bird migration patterns.
