Meliá Serengeti Lodge

Overview

Located within the famous Serengeti National Park, situated on the naturally terraced southern slope of Nyamuma hills with spectaculars views down into the Mbalageti River Valley. This location offers stunning sunset views over the mountains beyond with an abundant population of resident game as well as the annual migration often passing right through the area. The lodge design follows the gentle meander of the terrace edge, engaging in an intimate relationship with the natural landscape of existing trees and rocky outcrops. The intensity of this relationship with the sites ensures that guests experience a greater interface between building and bush.
