BUSH DINING IN SPECTACULAR SETTINGS AT LAKE MANYARA

At Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, dining is about much more than simply satisfying hunger. It’s an immersive experience, drawing upon the bounty of our environs and encouraging active participation from our guests. Whether you’re preparing for a morning of exploration or unwinding as the sun sets, you’ll be delighted with the delicious cuisine and light-filled ambiance at Flamingo Restaurant. Step out onto the spacious terrace, and pair your meal with stunning lake views.

In addition to our restaurant, we offer extraordinary bush dining opportunities; allow us to arrange breakfasts, lunches, dinners, cocktails, wedding anniversaries and birthday celebrations at one of a number of dedicated sites.

Flamingo Restaurant

Our elegant restaurant is designed to replicate a Maasai boma, with swirling primary colours on textured white walls and traditional beadwork, gourds and leatherwork.

Breakfast is presented buffet-style and features global fare, complemented by the finest Tanzanian coffee and tea. We also offer a full English breakfast – as well as the opportunity for guests to watch their meal being prepared by the chef in an exciting live cooking environment.

The Bush Breakfast

Begin your day with breakfast in our bush dining area, which is located on the top of the escarpment and boasts panoramic views across the lake. Just a short stroll from the lodge, it offers safari chairs and tables and a full team of chefs ready to prepare a full English breakfast, which will be cooked on blazing charcoal stoves in front of you.

‘Sundowners’ on the Escarpment

The concept of enjoying a drink in the bush whilst watching the sun go down dates back to the great safaris of the 1920s. In keeping with this tradition, the lodge offers a selection of sundowner venues, both on the escarpment edge and within Lake Manyara National Park itself. Begin with a gentle stroll or drive to the chosen spot where chairs, lamps, campfire and a bush bar with cocktail snacks will already have been set up. Musical entertainment can also be provided.

The Bush Dinner

There are few things as magical as dining beneath the stars in the heart of the African bush. Our lodge has its own al fresco dining area, located on the edge of the escarpment cliffs and offering magnificent views across the lake.

On arrival to the dining area, you will be invited to enjoy cocktails around the campfire while your selection of meat and fish is prepared on the glowing charcoal stoves. After dinner, a display of traditional dance, song and theatre is offered.

The Village Lunch

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge is a member of the Mbu Cultural Tourism Programme, which is run by the local community. Part of this programme is the village lunch – a unique insight into the daily life of local residents. Guests enjoy a fascinating stroll around the village in the company of a trained guide, followed by a delicious buffet lunch in a pretty clearing amongst the banana plantations.
