| Set high on
the saddle of tree-clad ridge
commanding panoramic views over
the endlessly rolling reaches
and volcanic reefs of the Serengeti,
the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge
is the ultimate fusion of traditional
African architecture and world-class
style. Drawing its inspiration
from the circular Rondavel dwellings
and winding paths of a traditional
Maasai village, the lodge features
thickly-thatched, stone-built
rooms, spaciously set amongst
groves of indigenous trees that
are cooled by sparkling streams
and papyrus-fringed ponds. |
| |
|
The
circular bar, its roof
supported by massive carven
figures of warriors, maidens
and elders, looks out
over the sky-blue, 'vanishing
horizon' swimming pool
towards the miles of lion-gold
savannah that lie below,
wherein is enacted the
thunderous theatre of
the million-strong wildebeest
migration.
|
|
| |
Each
room is accommodated in
a stone-built, traditionally-thatched
Rondavel, featuring natural
stone bathrooms, wildwood
balconies, rope-lashed
staircases, leopard-print
drapes and intricately
carved furniture, the
overall effect of which
is a unique blend of authentic
ethnicity and world-class
elegance. |
|
|
| |
| Linked by shaded
walkways and clustered around
the roaring furnace of the central
barbecue arena, the high-domed
halls of the two-tier dining room
are supported by massive papyrus-topped
pillars and embellished with sumptuous
Makonde carvings suggesting the
audience chamber of a tribal king
whilst the cuisine features time-honored
safari favorites, local specialties
and internationally themed dishes
alike. |
