uring our trip to Tanzania we were looking for a hotel that we can return to again and again, which ensures that after each tour (Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi), it is ensured that we can relax both and body and soul.
We chose the Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, which is by far the best hotel in the Lake Manyara area with true luxury.
We stayed in three different rooms, all were comfortable, bright and clean. The rooms are in small bungalows, four in one building. The huge bed is comfortable, the staff takes care for the guest's return from dinner about the mosquito net. There is no television in the room, but it was not missing either. The bathroom is well equipped. On one occasion we also used a laundry service, washed and ironed many of our garments within three hours and the price was very reasonable.
The fire in the huge fireplace in the lounge is both pleasant and beautiful. The quality of dinner and breakfast meets the expectations of a luxury hotel in every respect, including service and selection. Two bars are available, either by the pool or by the restaurant.
The staff is kind and friendly and they have a good knowledge of English. In the evening and at night, the security guards at various points illuminated with a flashlight to help the guests - a gesture of pleasure.
The pool is large, clean and has a beautiful view of the Great Rift Valley. However, the pool water is not heated, so in the late afternoon, when you come back from the safari, you have to be very determined to take a bath. A hotel of this level would expect hotter pool water.
The hotel garden is relatively well maintained and the view from the hotel is beautiful. We heard before dinner, that there was a Masai folk dance show, but we were not particularly interested.
All in all, we got the experience of a real luxury hotel, all at a fairly high price, but the quality of service...
