"Lake Manyara Serena review"

2 nights Arrived 14 Jan 2011
"We've stayed in a Serena lodge before and whilst it wouldn't always be my first choice (we prefer smaller places) this was a really good lodge. The setting is spectacular and when you take a swim it feels that you are going to swim to the edge of the world. The view from the room was amazing.

The rooms themselves are a bit dated ( I treated it like a step back in time to my 70s childhood!) but they are clean, spacious and comfortable and have everything that you need. Food was average - choice was good but it had that mass produced feeling about it.

The team however were excellent and the service great - so on balance I would have no qualms about staying here again." See all these reviews: 18n in Tanzania
