This very strange looking hotel is one of the Serena Group's flagship hotels. The hotel has been built out of riverbed rocks and provides an interesting spectacle for the first time observer. Apparently the rocks used for the hotel were lifted from a local riverbed in an attempt to maintain a balance in the local eco-system. We do not know what the effect may have been on the river though. The hotel is situated on the rim of the crater and has spectacular views of the crater below. It is a large hotel so do not expect intimate evenings around a fireplace. You will however be treated like royalty by staff who are very friendly and eager to assist you in any way they can. They have a large double story public area with a cozy bar and lounge area downstairs and the restaurant upstairs. Breakfast certainly is a treat as you watch the roaming wildlife in the crater below and plan your day ahead.
There are a total of 75 rooms all perched on the rim of the crater and all with spectacular views of the crater below. The rooms are fairly plain but very comfortable. All have en suite facilities with a walk in wardrobe, hairdryer for guests and a balcony where you can sit and view the action in the crater below. Central heating facilities help alleviate those cold nights you might experience in the crater.

The planning and organisation of the complete itinerary was perfect and contributed greatly to the enjoyment of our holiday The lodges we stayed in were very comfortable and the food was good. Our driver / guide, Emmilian was first class and he went out of his way to be helpful and extremely informative. We will have no hesitation in recommending this trip to all our contacts, friends and relatives. Kind Regards Joan and Graham Felton
