As if in a land before time Ngorongoro Serena Lodge is built into the rim of a dormant volcano, the plant and ivy-covered native stone blending masterfully with its surroundings. Nearby is the Olduvai Gorge with its archaeological evidence of the “birthplace of man.”
 

Today, the volcano and terrain are part of vast conservation lands inhabited by Masai tribes and an extraordinary variety of big game and bird life.
 

Most guest rooms have private terraces with views of the crater floor where countless animals make their home. At Ngorongoro Serena Lodge visitors coexist in perfect harmony with the natural environment and the wildlife that inhabits it.

The 75 rooms are spacious with central heating, prehistoric cave paintings and balconies overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater. The furniture is created from rich hardwood timber.

NGORONGORO SOPA LODGE

The Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is, and will remain as, the only tourist development on the eastern rim of the crater and thus offers unique and spectacular views down into the crater floor and of the sunsets over the western horizon.

Another major advantage of this site that our guests can enjoy is the fact that their crater safari begins within five minutes of leaving the lodge.

Opened in 1992, the lodge can accommodate 190 guests in 92 suites, each enjoying wall-to-wall carpeting, central heating, a private lounge with a mini bar, a bedroom with two queen size beds and ample room for a third, an en-suite bathroom with hair dryer, and a private solarium which offers stunning views either down into the crater floor below or of the setting sun over the western horizon.
