Four Seasons to open Discovery Centre at Serengeti resort
POSTED 04 Apr 2013 . BY Jessica Tasman-Jones
The Discovery Centre will feature displays about the Serengeti
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti in Tanzania has announced it will open a Discovery Centre in June.

It will be the first lodge-based conservation education and research centre in the Serengeti and will include exhibition displays, interactive presentations and guest lectures.

Guests will have the opportunity to participate in specialist research projects such as tracking and identifying animals and monitoring behaviour and movements.

Discovery Centre manager Oli Dreike said: "By getting guests involved in current research projects such as Snapshot Serengeti and Cheetah Watch, we hope that they will gain a deeper understanding of the park's wildlife."

The 77-room resort opened in December and includes 12 suites with private plunge pools and five villas with private swimming pools.

A 5,000sq ft spa includes six freestanding treatment bungalows consisting of four standard treatment rooms, a spa suite and a Thai massage room.

The spa has been built around an outdoor infinity pool that overlooks one of two active watering holes on the property, allowing guests to watch animals gather to drink.

Body treatments use local Baobab and Argan oil combined with Africology products out of South Africa, and the signature massage is the 'Kifaa', which involves the use a wooden Maasai warrior baton.

Africology is also used for facial treatments along with Elemis.
