Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru in Tanzania, Arusha Serena Hotel is a unique destination that blends colonial-era elegance with bespoke experiences that showcase the natural beauty of the Northern Safari Circuit. Originally a coffee farm, the stone-built reception area and cottage-style rooms of the hotel evoke its heritage, with French doors and leaded windows that open to landscaped lawns and colourful bougainvillea banks. In addition to a library, lounge and restaurant with a wood fireplace and garden views, the hotel offers tailor-made experiences such as an English breakfast on the shore of Lake Duluti, hiking to the summit of Mount Meru or exploring the crater lakes of Arusha National Park. For a relaxing evening, guests can sip sundowner cocktails by the lake and watch the sun set over the horizon. The hotel also offers a range of outdoor activities such as walking, mountain biking, canoeing and trips to nearby national parks.
