During our 8-day Serengeti wildebeest migration safari, we were fortunate to spend 3 nights at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge.
Our traditional stone and thatch “rondavel” cottage with a comfortable king size bed was spacious and clean, with an en-suite bathroom and shower. Our room also had its own private balcony with lovely views of the property and the wilderness.
The property is extremely neat and well maintained with spectacular views of the rolling plains. The authentic African-styled lodge has appealing facilities, including a lounge, bar, dining, and outside terrace area. There is also an impressive infinity swimming pool with a large pool area for relaxing or dining.
The food was superb, and our specific dietary needs were well catered for. The delicious food was complemented with the local beers including Kilimanjaro, Safari, and Serengeti, all of which were very good.
The staff were very friendly and efficient, ensuring that we were well looked after at all times.
During our stay and safari outings we had fantastic wildlife sightings, and saw an abundance of game, including lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, black rhino, cheetah, hyaenas, jackals, baboons, hippo, crocodiles, many species of antelope, and a splendid variety of birdlife. We were also really lucky to see a leopard and a cheetah feeding on their “kills” that they had just made. However, the highlight had to be the wildebeest migration itself, whereby we were truly blessed to see so many wildebeest, as well as zebras, all crowded together on a scale that was difficult to comprehend. It was truly a magnificent and remarkable sight, and something that we will never forget.
Overall, it was an incredible 3-night stay.
