Serena Mountain Village, Arusha
Nestled at the foot of the wooded slopes of Mount Meru, this unique hotel stands amid coffee plantations on the shores of tranquil Lake Duluti.

Designed to echo the traditional style of the colonial coffee farm, which originally stood on this site, Mountain Village offers a range of tastefully presented cottage-styled rooms set amid extensive landscaped grounds.

Standing at the gateway to the famous Tanzanian ‘Northern Safari Circuit', the hotel offers a broad range of attractions, which include: walking, mountain biking, canoeing on the lake, and trips to the nearby Arusha and Mount Meru national parks.

The hotel features a stone-built reception with adjoining lounge, library, restaurant, boutique and business centre. Imposing in stature and spacious in concept, the design of the new building echoes the hotel's original incarnation as a working coffee farm dating back to colonial times.

Serena Mountain Village offers a haven of calm and serenity just outside the hustle and bustle of Arusha, Tanzania’s premier ‘Safari Town’.

located in the heart of a coffee plantation on the shores of Lake Duluti, Serena Mountain Village is the perfect place to relax before or after experiencing the adventure of a Serena Safari.

The activities on offer at Serena 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

Wildlife and cultural talks, videos and film shows

The public areas are entirely new with the main building housing the reception, lounge, library, restaurant, shop and business centre. The main building is designed as a country manor house with a colonial theme to it.

The main lounge and bar area are fully carpeted with two working fire places and all designed to make our guests feel like they are staying at a home rather than a hotel. We have sourced some exquisite pieces of furniture and art work to ensure true authenticity to the colonial theme.
