We took a holiday In January - Stage 1


We had intended and indeed booked a holiday in Kenya but politics put paid to that idea and so, at the last minute we changed our plans and flew to Tanzania for a three night safari and two weeks by the beach in Zanzibar.

We spend our first night in Arusha, and the Mountain Village lodge which is one of the Serena Lodges. We have been to Kenya six times now and we prefer to stay in Serena accommodation as the service is, in our opinion, second to none.

Dont just take my word for it, splash out and book a holiday yourself

Our room at Arusha Mountain Village was in typical African style and was airey and comfortable It had the most fabulous views over the gardens and lake beyond.

The plants and trees in the area were beautiful and varied and there were lots of colourful birds in the gardens which covered several acres.

We had an excellent eveninng meal at the Lodge and a very filling breakfast the following morning.

Our guide arrived at around 9am to take us back to the airport where we boarded our "little" plane which was to take us on to the Serengeti
