Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

One of the best resort in Senerona! Service is excellent! Will be coming again!

It’s a beautiful lodge! The food was consistently great, whether it was breakfast, seafood dinner buffet, dinner at Boma with Maasai performance, or a personalized romantic dinner featuring locally grown ingredients, arranged by the chef. The staff is working hard, trying to please, despite the bustling atmosphere. The security was vigilant; do not dismiss their effort to protect – you are just a short-term guest, and wild animals rule here. We were very impressed by the enthusiastic, upscale, reputation-worthy lodge manager. Mishaps are unavoidable in such a busy place, but his hands-on approach helps to correct performance flaws and minimize our disappointments. Thank you, Mr. Seynard, for the recommendation and encouragement to take time for self-care. I had a great massage in a beautiful setting. Ms. J was caring and competent. I would recommend this safe sanctuary to travelers with younger children and those who need more comfortable and traditional accommodations.

What an incredible resort! Stayed here with my wife in February 2024 and we tried to sample as many of the activities as we could. The accommodations were very comfortable and you can tell that the resort is working to make frequent improvements to the guest experience. While we were here we did 2 full day game drives, one half day game drive, the hot air balloon safari, and the bush dinner. Must do activities include seeing Ngorongoro Crater which has some amazing wildlife, the hot air balloon (which is not scary even if afraid of heights; it was very comfortable and serene and I’d do it again in a heartbeat), and we were lucky enough to see the wildebeast migration. Zebra and wildebeast as far as you could see. While we didn’t see much wildlife at the watering hole, it was a really lovely view to have when dining or lounging around the pool area. Spa was lovely as well. The restaurant with the Maasai show was fun and the morning buffets were also lovely spreads. Be sure to get up early enough to enjoy breakfast if you’re going on a game drive. The provided lunches were very tasty. The staff and management were very gracious and receptive to our needs and did everything they could to give us an amazing Four Seasons experience. If you’re looking for a unique experience and luxury in the Serengeti, this is it. I look forward to seeing how this hotel continues to improve as I hope to visit again one day and it can only get even more magical. If you are going on a safari — and why else would you be at this resort? — be advised: -the roads are unpaved and so the rides are extremely bumpy. Bring motion sickness tablets if you are prone to motion sickness. -it gets hot and these days are long and tiring. Bring some electrolyte pouches, something like a Liquid IV. At least one per person per day. Put it in your water and take one for the road. This was maybe the most valuable item I brought on the trip with me. During our first game drive I got motion sickness.. bad! I’d forgotten an electrolyte pack and there was luckily one in the med kit in the jeep. -bring a good water bottle like a hydroflask that keeps drinks cold. Fill it with Ice each day before hitting the road. The fridge in the jeeps don’t get very cold (but it’s awesome they’re there. Still, if you like cold water like me, this is the only way. I found Ice was not easy to come by in Africa, so don’t be surprised if you get funny looks if you ask for it. There is also a cold water dispenser in the rear part of the lobby area. -Bring extra batteries and memory cards for your cameras. Seriously. Bring a device to charge multiple batteries at once overnight. If you’re shooting with a camera with changeable lenses, bring two camera bodies if possible because changing lenses is time consuming and exposes your sensor to dust. -Bring one good telephoto. My 150-600mm is the lens that got the most use by far. Special thanks to management Matthew, Mauricia, and Navina who went out of their way to ens

Just wanted to give our heartfelt thanks to all at the lodge for giving us the most extraordinary experience! The people who work at the lodge are the most kind, welcoming and warm people you will ever meet. They couldn’t do enough for us and wanted to make sure we were happy. Every detail was taken care of for us! Msaki went above and beyond. I know there are a ton of safari companies out there, but If you’re looking to go on safari, please check out the four seasons. Incredible in every way.
