📍 Central Serengeti
Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge is a luxury lodge in the Central Serengeti, located near the alkaline Lake Magadi, an area known for birdlife, elephants, and big cats. It’s aimed at safari-goers who prefer a solid-structure lodge with polished amenities, making it ideal for families or couples who want comfort without stepping into the premium luxury tier. Its lakeside scenery adds a tranquil touch to the safari experience.
Pricing: typically $650–$700 per double in high season; around $380–$420 in low season (Mar–May).
Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Kubu Kubu (luxury; lodge-style, central Serengeti) and Nyota Luxury (luxury; boutique tented). Step up: Lemala Nanyukie (premium luxury; high design). Step down: Jackals Lair (upper mid-range; simpler, tented).
Safari context: Its central position ensures reliable game drives while offering a quieter base than Seronera’s busier hubs.
