This eco friendly hotel is hard to spot as it blends so well into the natural background of the crater. The photo's really don't do it justice. This is the only hotel on the Somak Safari that didn't have a mosquito net over the bed due to it being 8000 feet above sea level. It was funny to see staff... More

Probably the most amazing hotel i have stayed in. The whole hotel is built around huge boulders. Very cute pool with amazing views over the Serengetti. Rooms comfy enough. But main attration is the Hotel complex. Great waking i the middle of the night to hear Lions roaring in the distance.

Nice lounge and bar area as well as dining room. Good food and a rich breakfast breakfast is offered. In the evening while sitting on the balcony, I... More

2 wonderful nights at this hotel with full game drives in the crater. Superb hot showers to wash the dust off. The staff, food, service etc were great.

Service rooms food and views 5*....... Nothing less than we've come to expect from the serena brand........hot water bottle is an added bonus.......they really go that extra mile you wont be disappointed

Wonderful !! Rooms were clean. View from the deck of our room overlooking the crater was breathtaking. Sunset and Sunrise were spectacular! Loved the dining area and lounge. Enjoyed the entertainment each night we stayed. Food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Could not ask for a better location for a visit to the crater.
