The bedrooms at the Lake Manyara Serena Lodge have thatch roofs, thick, white, stone walls and dense creepers growing on and around them. The rooms are all close together; some in double-storey units. To get the best view of Lake Manyara, we recommend a first floor room.

Inside, the walls are white and the floors a rust-coloured stone. In the middle of the room the bed has a red bedspread, and is framed by a mosquito net. A rug lies in front of a dark wood bedside table and there are a couple of bedside lights. All of the bedrooms have a telephone, a wooden cupboard and mosquito spray. There is a vibrant wall hanging behind the bed and a chair in front of a small window.

All of the rooms on the first floor have a small veranda. From here guests get quite a good view over the escarpment to Lake Manyara.

The bedrooms are en-suite and the bathrooms are just as simple as the bedrooms. A kidney-shaped mirror hangs over the sink. This has been set in a wooden surround and has a couple of complimentary toiletries next to it. The rooms all have a white-tiled shower and a flush toilet; towels and a hair-dryer are provided.

These bedrooms are comfortable but impersonal; they are practical bases for a night if you want to visit the National Park.
