Meliá Serengeti Lodge sits just below the crest of the Nyamuma Hills, built low so it never breaks the skyline. It follows the curve of a natural terrace, weaving around old trees and rocky outcrops, with sweeping views down into the Mbalageti River Valley.
Inside, the décor draws on Maasai traditions, with natural materials, organic shapes and the tribe’s patterns and colours set against muted tones. Sustainability shapes the details too, from ceiling fans and natural ventilation to carefully managed energy use.
Dining blends local fare with international cooking. Breakfasts and themed buffet dinners are served at the Savannah Restaurant, with theme nights at the Savannah Grill. The Boma serves à la carte African dishes overlooking the valley, and sundowners on the Terrace come with East African wines.
Between game drives, there is an infinity pool facing the plains, a spa and a gym with an outdoor workout area. Children have their own playroom and activities.
ACCOMMODATION

Meliá Serengeti Lodge lies west of Seronera in Serengeti National Park, on the naturally terraced southern slopes of the Nyamuma Hills. Below the lodge, the Mbalageti River Valley stretches out towards distant hills, and the annual wildebeest migration passes through the area. The lodge is 36 km from Seronera airstrip and 335 km from Arusha. From here, you can explore the plains on game drives, on foot with an armed ranger or from a hot-air balloon at dawn.
