The Serena Safari Experience
The word ‘Safari’ means ‘journey’ in Kiswahili but since the days of the legendary ‘White Hunters’ a ‘Safari’ has evolved to mean a spectacular bush adventure that takes in sightings of a glorious selection of game, flora, fauna and bird life whilst delivering awe inspiring scenery, show-stopping views and wildlife encounters of the most exciting kind. Serena Safaris operate a fleet of safari-adapted Land Cruisers. Each of our individually-tailored tours is led by an experienced guide. Picnics, mineral water, cool boxes and bush libraries are also provided.

  The activities on offer at Mountain Village include:  
  Morning bird walks around Lake Duluti with our resident naturalist  
  An extensive selection of nature trails looping around the lake and through the shaded groves of neighbouring coffee plantations, with picnic stops and a unique ‘coffee tasting’ session  
  Mountain biking around the lake and coffee plantation circuits  
  Walking and jogging around the lake and plantation circuits  
  Canoeing on the lake in sturdy 2-man canoes  
  Trips to the craters, alkaline lakes, forests and peaks of nearby Arusha National Park  
  Mountain Village serves as an ideal base camp from which to conquer the snow- capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain (5, 895m)  
  For those who prefer a slightly more unusual but equally rewarding climb, there is also nearby Mount Meru, Africa’s 5th highest mountain, which offers endless opportunities for climbing, hiking, trekking or walking  
  A number of villages in the Arusha region belong to the Cultural Tourism Programme and offer guests an unprecedented opportunity to experience the local people’s lifestyle by means of visits to such venues as; Maasai homesteads, traditional cattle markets or women’s handicrafts cooperatives  
  Atmospheric ‘Sundowners’ idyllically staged on wooded cliffs above the lake’s mirrored waters as clouds of white egret come home to roost in their forest home  
  Wildlife and cultural talks, videos and film shows
