Serena Lake Manyara is a large mainstream hotel that has a pool with incredible views

The 70 rooms are clean and functional whilst the public areas are suitable for large numbers.  Consequentially, the hotel can lack the intimate character and atmosphere of a small safari camp or lodge.

The hotel, like most other Serena hotels, is a dependable, mass market choice with pleasant staff, good service and okay food. 

The hotel is worth a mention for the single fact that it has a swimming pool with one of the best views anywhere in Africa. 

If you think you would like to spend a full day by the pool relaxing and enjoying the abundant birdlife then this may just be the place for you.
