Dining & Cuisine

Main Restaurant

At Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, our restaurant and dining experiences are as impressive as their majestic surroundings. Greet the morning with a cup of fine Tanzanian coffee or tea on your private balcony. Indulge in the choicest cuts of meat in our dining room or allow us to arrange an English breakfast or sundowner cocktails in the bush. Top off an evening with a cocktail on the terrace overlooking the infinity pool. With cuisine uniquely crafted by our experienced culinary team, the possibilities are endless.

Linked by shaded walkways and clustered around the roaring furnace of the central, circular barbecue arena, the high-domed halls of our two-tier dining room are supported by massive papyrus-topped pillars and embellished with sumptuous traditional Makonde carvings.

Breakfast and lunch are presented in buffet-style and feature a wide range of international choices. In typical safari style, we offer a full English breakfast as well as European options while our lunch menus will typically include meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian options. Our table d'hôte dinner menus feature a salad buffet, soup, entrée, pudding, cheese and biscuits as well as tea or coffee. Vegetarian options are always available. The majority of our meat and dairy products, as well as our fruits and vegetables, are sourced from the communities that surround the reserve.

Bush Dinner

Typically, the Serengeti bush dinner takes place at a scenic location on the plains. Or it can occur at our own dedicated bush dinner site, which stands high on a hill overlooking the migration corridor. Timed to coincide with the setting of the sun, which on the Equator is around 6:00 p.m., the bush dinner will commence either with a game drive or a short stroll to our hilltop site.

Arriving at the chosen location with fabulous views across the plains, you will find that tables and chairs have already been set up. In addition, a campfire, lanterns and a bush kitchen await you.

Beginning with sundowners around the campfire, we are proud to entertain our guests with traditional marimba music while a five-course dinner is prepared on the blazing charcoal BBQ. The choice of meat, fish and poultry will be supplemented by vegetarian choices, salads, fruit and desserts from the set buffet. Also, a full safari bar will be provided.

*Minimum pax is 8 and charged per person.

Sundowner at Mbingwe Valley

An essential part of traditional safari life, the concept of having drinks whilst watching the sun go down dates back to the time of the great safaris of the 1920s. They all featured the serving of elegant “bush” cocktails against the unforgettable backdrop of the African sunset.

Timed to commence as the sun starts its descent, which on the Equator is usually around 6:00 p.m., the Serengeti sundowner begins with a gentle drive to a scenic spot. Chairs, lamps, a campfire and a bush bar with cocktail snacks will already have been set up. Musical entertainment can also be provided.
