Perched on the jagged rim of the crater, wreathed in morning mist, camouflaged in river-stone and cloakedin indigenous creepers, the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a triumph of ecological and architecturalfusion. Sensitively constructed so as to take nothing from its environment whilst affording endless vistas overthe heat-shimmering reaches of the crater below, the clustered boulder-built buildings of the Lodge hug thecrater rim, linked by rope-lashed timber walkways that skirt the buttressed roots of ancient, liana-hungtrees.The Lodge has a total of seventy five rooms. Each room draws on a cave-grey, indigo-blue andjasper-red colour-scheme and enjoys uninterrupted views over the Crater's unmatched splendour. Each room has a rock-enclosed balcony.
