Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge Review:

There’s no place more iconic in East Africa than the majestic Serengeti National Park and with its enviable location in the heart of this untamed landscape the Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge offers up familiar comfort set against an unfamiliar backdrop. With all the sumptuous luxuries and service that you expect of a Four Seasons and unexpected surprises like a watering hole with elephants playing and Maasai warriors dotted around the grounds, this is a safari experience like no other.

Style

The 77 rooms (including several multibedroom suites that are perfect for families!) spread across two wings, all feature local artwork and textiles that complement the amazing Serengeti or Waterhole Views. This is still a Four Seasons though, so these local designs are accompanied by the amenities and comfort (like the iconic Four Seasons bed) that guests expect from the brand.

Culinary

While you might think that a location in the heart of a national park as large as the Serengeti could limit the menu options, the Four Seasons proves this thought wrong! With three restaurants on property, the menu covers everything from classical French and Italian cuisine to locally inspired African dishes. We recommend enjoying dinner with a show at Boma Grill at least once during your stay. This open-air restaurant is centered around immersion in the Maasai culture and includes menu items inspired by traditional Maasai dishes as well as performances of traditional dances and songs by Maasai warriors (several of whom work as guards around the property!).

On Site Activities

While the main draw of the area is a visit to the nearby Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, Gibb’s Farm offers so much more for guests to explore and enjoy during their stay. A typical day at Gibb’s Farm might offer guests the chance to enjoy horseback riding around the property, tours of the many different gardens on site, a hike to local caves and waterfalls or even the chance to assist with milking the hotel’s cows or helping to collect eggs for breakfast. Most evenings end with a meeting at the fire pit to learn about everything from Maasai history and traditions to ways in which the local community is working to save the local lion population.

For guests looking for a more relaxing experience – the spa on property offers a small but tailored selection of treatments with (you guessed it!) all of the products used are made on site with items grown on property. Guests can also explore their creative side with art lessons from the current Artists in Residence – or simply a stroll through the gallery in search of an amazing piece to make your own.
