| With a mix of stylish and
imaginative accommodation throughout Northern
Tanzania, Serena Lodges occupy some of
the parks’ most sought-after locations. These
lodges are among the most comfortable
available and perfect for exploring the
abundant wildlife from your doorstep. Some
travel is by air, which allows more time to be
spent in the bush.
