Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Serena Lake Manyara

Manyara National Park

The Serena Hotel perches on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment with far reaching views of Lake Manyara National Park.

There are 67 rooms along the top of the escarpment, each with own veranda or terrace. Inside, the rooms are comfortable with large bedrooms and en suite bathrooms.

The main lodge houses a large dining room and terrace, bar, games room and curio shop. Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the lodge is the swimming pool. It is right on the escarpment lip, surrounded by a large sunny deck and has stunning views.

The Serena Lodge is 15 minutes from the gate of Lake Manyara National Park, so makes a good base from which to explore it on full day trips with picnics.
