Central Serengeti · Tanzania

_______

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti offers a sophisticated interpretation of the classic African safari, placing exceptional comfort within one of the world's most celebrated wildlife landscapes.

Set in Central Serengeti, the lodge is designed around the natural environment. Elevated walkways connect guest spaces, private balconies open towards the savannah, and an active wildlife watering hole brings the rhythms of the surrounding ecosystem surprisingly close.

The property combines contemporary African-inspired interiors with the service and amenities associated with Four Seasons. At the same time, its location keeps the wilderness at the centre of the experience.

Rather than treating the lodge as simply a place to sleep between game drives, the experience encourages guests to slow down and appreciate the landscape from multiple perspectives: from a private terrace, beside the infinity pool, over breakfast, on a walking experience or high above the plains in a hot-air balloon.

An exceptional luxury safari lodge in the heart of the Serengeti, where contemporary African design, refined hospitality and extraordinary wildlife come together in one of Tanzania's most iconic wilderness destinations.


Location

_______

In the heart of the Serengeti

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti is located in Central Serengeti, within Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania.

This central position places the lodge within a vast ecosystem renowned for its wildlife, open grasslands and seasonal movements of enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra. The surrounding landscape also supports lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and many other species.

Seronera Airstrip provides convenient access for travellers arriving by domestic flight, while the lodge's position makes it an important base for exploring the wider Serengeti during a tailor-made Tanzania safari.

Accommodation

_______

A lodge experience connected to its environment

The accommodation at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti is designed to bring the surrounding landscape into everyday life. Local textiles, contemporary African details, open-air spaces and private balconies create an atmosphere that feels distinctly connected to Tanzania.

The lodge has 60 guest rooms, 12 suites and five private villas, giving travellers several levels of space and privacy from which to experience the Serengeti.

Experiences

_______

The Serengeti beyond the lodge

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti provides several ways to experience the wilderness. Traditional game drives remain central, but walking, ballooning, conservation and cultural experiences reveal different dimensions of the ecosystem.

Dining at The Retreat

_______

Dining shaped by place

Dining is an important part of the lodge experience, with menus and settings designed to reflect both the sophistication of Four Seasons and the character of Tanzania.

Nuru provides African-inspired cuisine alongside familiar international dishes, with locally sourced ingredients incorporated into the culinary experience. Maji Bar and Terrace offers an open-air setting overlooking the Serengeti, with cocktails, light dishes, salads and homemade pizzas.

For a more traditional atmosphere, Boma Grill creates an open-air dining experience around a firepit, bringing together grilled dishes and local flavours in a setting inspired by the cultural landscape of the region.

The Vineyard offers a more intimate alternative. Set within the lodge's wine cellar, the experience pairs a multi-course menu with carefully selected wines, creating an elegant option for private celebrations or special evenings.

Dining can also move beyond the lodge itself. Guests may arrange bush dinners beneath the stars, sunset picnics, bush breakfasts and other private culinary experiences. The lodge's Pool Dinner on the Island, for example, places a private table within the infinity pool overlooking the neighbouring wildlife watering hole.

This variety means dining does not simply fill the hours between safari drives. It becomes another way of experiencing the landscape.

Responsible Travel

_______

Luxury with a responsibility to place

A luxury lodge in a protected wilderness has a responsibility that extends beyond the guest experience. Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti's sustainability and community initiatives address energy, water, waste, sourcing, biodiversity, conservation and local skills development.

The lodge has on-site solar generation infrastructure and a wastewater treatment plant that treats water for reuse across the property.

The lodge supports conservation initiatives including the Serengeti Rhino Conservation Project and the Serengeti De-Snaring Project.

Four Seasons reports that nearly 75% of items used throughout the lodge are sourced from suppliers in Tanzania.

Local artists, artisans and community organisations are incorporated into the lodge experience and wider community initiatives.

Conservation & Community

_______

The experience is connected to the people and ecosystem around it

Through the Discovery Centre Fund, guest activities and donations contribute to wildlife and community initiatives around the Serengeti.

This includes conservation support, educational opportunities and programmes that help develop hospitality skills among young people from neighbouring communities.

For the thoughtful traveller, responsible travel is therefore not a separate activity. It becomes part of understanding the destination itself.

Highly recommended We had a wonderful experience with Jonathan. He welcomed us at the airport and took great care of us from the moment we arrived until the end of our trip. The selection of hotels was impeccable, and the route he designed was perfectly planned. Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and went the extra mile to make sure we saw lions and all of the Big Five during our visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. He was always attentive, patient, and eager to make our experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommended!

Exceptional experience, enriching and truly unforgettable. From the moment we landed we received a warm welcome. Jonathan was friendly and readily available to answer any queries throughout our trip. He was incredibly accommodating with our requests to visit schools, residences ensuring that we achieved everything we wanted from the trip. We had a great time with Jonathan and driver Isaac. Jonathan was very funny and very knowledgeable he became part of the family and the time just flew whilst we were there, we felt safe at all times. The food at each venue catered for all our needs. Definitely leant a lot on this trip. Just need to be aware that food ordered in restaurants do take a long time as they make it from scratch so if pushed for time might be advisable to pre order. We had unforgettable holiday and this company went above and beyond to make every moment special. I would recommend them to anyone.

Great service from this local company We done a road trip across East Africa from Uganda to Tanzania. Jonathan and his team facilitated our trip across Uganda and Kenya which proved to be a very enjoyable experience. Guided knowledge provided by Jonathan was excellent as was his humor and wit. We always felt safe and informed, he managed the journey very well indeed. We would definitely use Jonathan's services again.

Magical Uganda Safari Journey – February 2025! I had an unforgettable experience with Ababa Uganda Safaris! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, and the team was incredibly friendly and professional. The tour guides were knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and culture. Seeing gorillas up close in Bwindi and exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park was a dream come true. The accommodations were comfortable, and every detail was taken care of. I truly felt immersed in Uganda’s beauty without any stress. If you're planning a trip to Uganda, I highly recommend Ababa Uganda Safaris for a seamless and memorable adventure!

.gorilla trek Our KQ flight was horribly delayed. From 2.30 pm to arriving @ almost 3 am the following day. Jonathan kindly arranged for airport pick at this early hour of day and even rescheduled our departure for bwindi so we could get some rest. That was very accommodating.the drive to bwindi was a long drive -11 hrs- n he informed hotel of our late arrival. The lodge he chose for us was good and comfortable. However the vehicle for transporti g us could be better as it was quite hot without air conditioning. Gorilla trek was good but tough. Overall Ababa safaris were very accommodating. I wouldrecommend them. The hotel in Kampala- Speke hotel leaves a lot to be desired

Such a wonderful experience!! My family and I contacted Jonathan to help us plan our first Murchison Falls safari. Jonathan arranged our transport from Kampala, with a stop at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary and guided game drives through Murchison falls. Ronnie, our professional driver and guide, was very knowledgeable and paid close attention to details to make us comfortable. He met with us a day before takeoff to answer any outstanding questions and recommended a time for us to set off to avoid any traffic. His experience made our trip even more enjoyable because we knew what to expect for entry fees into the park, where to stop to use clean washrooms, eat good food, and also what side of the boat cruise to sit on for the best views! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, job, rhinos, buffaloes and many other animals. We would definitely go with them for our next safari in Uganda! They had great communication, value for money, professionalism, knowledge of the industry and were very reliable.

A must-hire company! Punctual, professional, great communication. We used Ababa Safaris for a trip from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park. I would HIGHLY recommend! Our driver picked us up in a large safari vehicle with a pop up roof. The driver was very punctual and had excellent communication while preparing for the trip and during the trip. Ronnie took us to a nice restaurant for a rest stop that had clean bathrooms and good food. He was friendly with many people we met along the way at the Rhino Sanctuary, on the safari trails, and at our chosen lodging. It felt as though he had good connections with people, which we took as a good sign. Ronnie was very knowledgeable about the best places to see the animals and gave us a great safari experience. As the person in the family who does much of the planning, it was a very enjoyable experience to hand all of that over to Ababa and really get to enjoy myself.

Animals and beautiful nature in Uganda and Rwanda From being picked-up from Entebbe airport in the middle of the night until the drop-off eleven days later in Kigali it was a perfect tour. Jonathan, our guide, and the driver Moses was a perfect team - very friendly, knowledgable and always in time. We visited Entebbe for a tour through the botanical gardens and the zoo, did safaris and boat trips in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth NP and did trekkings to the chimpazees in Kibale and to the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. The primates are a must visit when you travel to this region. It's expensive but worth every dollar. The safari parks are of course not as rich in animals as for example the Masai Mara. But they are much cheaper, there are much lesser tourists and nevertheless it doesn't become boring regarding animal sightings. We saw a lot of different antelopes, beautiful giraffes, lions, many elephants, buffalos, a lot of hippos and crocodiles and much more. The choice of hotels was very good, simple and cheap where there was only a short overnight stay and a bit more expensive where it was worth to spend the money for staying close to the places of interest, e.g. close to the starting point for primate trekkings or in the middle of QENP and Murchison NP for not loosing game-drive-time.
