Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge sits on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater which is the largest volcanic crater on Earth. The lodge is built from local river stone and indigenous vines. It is designed to blend in with the surroundings completely and is almost perfectly hidden from the floor of the crater.
The lodge is linked by stone passages and timbered decks and it's walls are decorated with prehistoric cave paintings and lit by torches. The rooms all have their own rock-enclosed balcony and views of the crater below. There are 75 total rooms which are divided into 1 suite, 44 rooms with twin beds, 15 rooms with double beds and 15 rooms with triple beds.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

A wonderful 9 day tour of beautiful Costa Rica taking in breath taking scenery including the active Arenal Volcano to the stunning beaches of Manuel Antonio.
Adventure Life made a fantastic itinerary for us(we were a group of 4) Would highly reccomend them for getting it right!
Lovely hotels with breakfast included, bespoke trips in mostly private transfers, zip-lining and white water rafting adventures! This really was an amazing trip & one we will cherish forever!

We book a tour to Peru with them in May. Viewing from their website we didn’t realize that they are private tour company but after quoting the price, it seems reasonable for a private tour, let’s see how’s their service after our tour. The process of booking went smoothly except the payment part which need a bit of work. Need to improve better payment method and options.
