Meliá Serengeti Lodge

Meliá Serengeti Lodge sits in the Nyamuma Hills inside Serengeti National Park, placing guests within the park itself rather than outside its gates. That means game drives start the moment you leave the lodge, across a landscape known for big cats, vast herds and, in season, the movement of the great wildebeest migration. The lodge offers rooms and suites finished in natural materials and neutral tones, each with a private terrace looking out over the savannah, while the suites add a separate lounge. After a morning in the field, the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the plains is a good place to relax, and there is also a spa for treatments and a gym. Dining ranges from world cuisine with African influences at the main restaurant to an African menu in a Maasai inspired boma with a fireplace, and the poolside terrace bar is a favourite spot for sunset. Guided walking safaris, bush lunches and dinners in the wild can also be arranged. It suits couples, honeymooners and travellers who want hotel comfort deep in the Serengeti.
