Overview

Meliá Serengeti Lodge is an eco-friendly, 5-star luxury sanctuary perched high on the terraces of the Nyamuma Hills in Central-Western Serengeti. Overlooking the natural valley of the Mbalageti River, the lodge offers breathtaking, unobstructed views across the wild Serengeti plains.

Designed with a seamless blend of contemporary elegance and traditional Maasai motifs, the lodge features natural stone, timber, and warm African accents. Operating with a commitment to environmental sustainability, Meliá Serengeti Lodge relies on solar power and eco-conscious water systems while providing guests with world-class comfort in the heart of Africa’s most famous national park.

Guests can relax beside an infinity pool hanging dramatically over the river valley, indulge in spa treatments inspired by African and Asian traditions, and witness wildlife roaming freely in the gorge below. It serves as an exceptional base for tracking the Great Migration and the Big Five.
