Package Highlights

Centrally located adjacent to the famous Western Corridor and Grumeti River, the lodge has been designed to blend completely into the living landscape. A series of traditional domed ‘rondavels' are widely spaced throughout the grounds, which are cooled by groves of acacia trees and watered by sparkling streams. On the very edge of the ridge is a ‘vanishing horizon' pool, which looks out over the ‘endless plains' after which the Serengeti is named.

Itinerary

Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport - Arusha

Our guide drive will warmly meet you upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and help you with your transfer to the Arusha Serena Hotel in Arusha.

We will brief you about your safari.

Arusha Serena Hotel

Nestled at the foot of the wooded slopes of Mount Meru, this unique hotel in Arusha Tanzania stands amid coffee plantations on the shores of tranquil Lake Duluti. Designed to echo the traditional style of the colonial coffee farm, which originally stood on this site, Arusha Serena Hotel offers a range of tastefully presented cottage-style rooms set amid extensive landscaped grounds.

Standing at the gateway to the famous Tanzanian ‘Northern Safari Circuit', this Arusha hotel offers a broad range of attractions, which includes walking, mountain biking, canoeing on the lake, and trips to the nearby Arusha and Mount Meru national parks.

Arusha Serena Hotel features a stone-built reception with adjoining lounge, library, restaurant, boutique and business center. Imposing in stature and spacious in concept, the design of the new building echoes the hotel's original incarnation as a working coffee farm dating back to colonial times.
