"Simply unforgettable best lodge in Tanzania"
"If you are visiting the Serengeti, staying at the Meliá Serengeti Lodge is an experience I would recommend without hesitation. The service was impeccable, the views breathtaking, and the Safari Experience programme was perfectly organised. Our guide Izack was phenomenal."
Couple
