Lake Manyara National Park is an ornithological paradise with an abundance of bird life. Verreaux's eagles, vultures, storks, swifts and swallows wing by lodgings atop the spectacular cliffs overlooking the lake. Lake Manyara, at 3,150 feet, is at times replete with flamingos, pelicans, storks and cormorants. The hippo pool, where guests may get out of their vehicles, is located on a freshwater stream that enters the lake at its northern tip. The park's springs and a dense groundwater forest of giant figs and mahogany shelter blue monkeys, baboons, bush bucks, common water bucks, elephants, and silvery-cheeked horn bills. Acacia woodland and open grassland are frequented by buffalo, wildebeests, impalas, giraffes, zebras, lions, and grey-backed fiscal-shrikes. Streams attract pythons, Nile monitor lizards and mountain wagtails.

Each spacious guest room at Manyara Serena Lodge has a private balcony with panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley and the soda lake of Manyara. The room’s interior decor compliments the bird life of the Manyara region. The unique architecture of the Lodge continues in the restaurant and bar with colourful mouldings and complimenting light fixtures that hang from intricately detailed African ceilings. The bar and restaurant offer guests both indoor and outdoor seating at each meal. Sumptuous menus, buffets and barbecues are served to guests alongside authentic African dishes. The full-service lounge and bar serves fresh fruit juices, soft drinks, tea and coffee, cocktails, wines, spirits and liqueurs. With just a day's advance notice, guests can be treated to a private champagne "bush" breakfast. Your special table will be set up on the edge of the Mto Wa Mbu escarpment overlooking Lake Manyara. It will be just you, your wait staff and the early morning African wilderness. Each evening after dinner, guests may choose to have their coffee or drinks around the "campfire" where frequently there will be musicians to entertain you. With their graceful domed ceilings, curved walls and colourful murals, the guest lounge is the ideal venue to relax after safari or before and after meals. Both areas offer terrace seating with breathtaking views over Lake Manyara.

There are daily excursions into the Great Rift Valley and to the National Park, with walking safaris and nature walks with experienced escorts. The lodge has four land cruisers, which can seat 6 persons each. Game drives across Lake Manyara National Park are scheduled daily.
