Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection

We just got back from a 9day safari where we sept in 8 different places. Melia Serengeti was our absolute favorite. This lodge is more of a luxury resort. I don't think I would stay only here if I go to Africa, but it was a very welcome couple of nights after tents and small lodges. It is luxurious, the rooms are perfectly well appointed, our suite was very big, with two little beds for our kids in the living room (10&12yrs) and a big bed in the bedroom. A full bathroom in the living area, a massive luxury bathroom in the bedroom with a big shower, a stand alone bathtub, enclosed toilet, and extensive closet space. The ammeties in the bathroom were adorable with handmade glass bottles they reuse and maasai bead decorations. The robes, the slippers and other details also had local textiles. We did laundry during these two days and it was a tad pricey but it can be a good idea to do laundry midway in the safari and pack lighter ($8 tshirts, $1-2 undies). The views from the pool area are breathtaking, the whole area with the restaurants and bars were incredible. We stuck to the family-style dinner in the main restaurant and I completely recommend it. Different food for every meal, plenty (more than plenty) of everything in the menu, they will replenish whatever you reorder, they grill on GreenEggs right there when you are ready for your food (are you ever not ready for the butter-soft Tanzanian beef??) Thank you to Nathaniel, the head of the staff at the restaurant for his big smile, hos warm welcome, his friendliness and his insights, you made our stay even more connected with the community and those that made our dream trip absolutely perfect. I recommend the all inclusive if you want to stay a day just at the hotel, because most drinks are included and the meals are plentiful. On our day at the lodge I went on a walking safari (a bit pricey but I don't normally go for a walk in the savannah with a maasai that is willing to answer all of my many questions) and relaxed by the pool with local cocktails (many non-alcoholic options!). Wonderful experience, I don't think it will disappoint anyone.

everything is perfect! great food! great services! great personnel!
