This is a beautiful hotel that has a very personal feel to it and a great location in the park. It has the edge on other hotels of its size, as the small huts allow for a real sense of privacy and feeling of being out in the bush. It is a perfect place to spend a few days year round, but particularly during the migration months of May through to July.

The Serengeti Serena -The Detail
The rooms feel very private, with just three extremely spacious and comfortable rooms in each, and most have good, uninterrupted views across the surrounding Serengeti Plains. Views are also good from the central dining room and the separate cosy bar, both of which are arranged slightly higher on the hill beneath impressively lofty makuti thatch.
These are just a stones throw from the Serengeti Serena's crowning feature, a magnificently situated drop-off pool surrounded by shady tree and sun beds set out in private areas. The restaurant is notably good, with fantastic nightly buffets and much of the food cooked before your eyes in the open-air kitchen.
The management and staff are friendly and attentive, and can arrange for numerous extras, such as flowers, fruit and champagne to greet guests on arrival.
