Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

酒店設施完善，房間風景很好，可以看星空和日出，俯瞰整個火山口。酒店有年頭了，淋浴間不穿拖鞋的話有點滑。睡了一晚身上有兩三處很癢的包，不確定是床上有小蟲還是在外面被什麼蟲子咬了。餐品口味還不錯，但如果選擇打包的午餐盒就不要有太高期待了。

Serena Safari Lodge was a beautiful setting with amazing views of the crater. Sunrise was stunning from our balcony. We were in room 6 on a lower level and it would be nicer to be higher up for the view. The property buildings are beautiful with their artwork and stone construction. The dining area and bar area were decorated beautifully. It was very nice sitting in the bar enjoying the view. In our room the bed was comfortable. There were only 2 plugs in our room, one international plug, the other Type G. Luckily I brought an adapter, this was the only place we needed it so we could both charge phone/ batteries. The wifi did not reach to our room or our friends room #8, although we were told it would. Meals were good with good variety. The lodge has 75 rooms and so is much busier than any other accomodations on safari. We preferred the smaller places. The staff were busy so they could not offer the warm personalized interactions as we had previously. On arrival we were greeted by a band playing. We saw Maasai dancing that was interesting. There were Maasai selling an interesting variety of items.

What made this hotel unforgettable was the stunning view of the Ngorongoro Crater right from the balcony. In fact, you could even see the crater from the bed through the panoramic doors. The hotel blends beautifully into the landscape and somewhat resembles the secret hideout of Fantômas from old French comedies. The room was cozy, and I especially liked the wall art in a rock painting style. The service was great: tasty buffet meals, small treats for tea in the room, and even, I think, hot water bottles in the bed. At this altitude, evenings and nights are chilly, but a warm bed and a hot shower made all the difference.
