LAKE
MANYARA NATIONAL PARK:
Is
also known as the magnificent hunting country in the green hills
of Africa. Mahogany, sausage
and croton are
alive with blue monkeys and vervets. Elephants feed off fallen
fruit while bushbuck,
waterbuck, baboons, aardvarks, civet,
the shy pangolin and leopard as well as the black rhino; all
make their home
in the forest. Manyara is sanctuary to elusive buffalo and hippo,
giraffe, impala,
zebra, and most
famous residents - tree-climbing lions.

1,400 meters above sea level on the western escarpment of the

LAKE
MANYARA SERENA SAFARI LODGE

It
is difficult to imagine a more spectacular setting for Lake Manyara
Serena Lodge - on the edge of
the
Mto
Wa Mbu escarpment, overlooking the Great Rift Valley and the stunning
Manyara soda lake.
Tree-climbing
lions are but one lure. The extraordinary birdlife has made this
place world-renowned
among
ornithologists, who come to observe the masses of pink flamingos
and great birds of prey.
The
abundant birdlife inspired the design of Lake Manyara Serena Safari
Lodge - swooping curves
are
complemented
by soft, geometric patterns; stylish murals depict bird migration
patterns.
The
circular shape
of the buildings is a tribute to indigenous architectural traditions.
Beyond the
superb
standards
of hospitality offered, there is a spirit of tranquility that
prevails.
