Matthew Senyard has been appointed as Lodge
Manager of the Four Seasons
Safari Lodge Serengeti, Tanzania.
In this role, Matthew assumes the operational responsibilities previously held
by
Marisa Fernandes who was promoted to General Manager in
January 2023 .
Matthew Senyard
Born in Australia, Matthew has more than
15 years of hospitality industry experience and cut his teeth working in various
properties across Australia and the South Pacific.
Matthew moves to Tanzania from Gili Lankanfushi in
Maldives where he worked as Resort Manager.
“Our Lodge is a very
unique property located in the heart of an UNESCO World Heritage
site,” said Marisa Fernandes. “Matthew’s dedication is not limited to creating a wonderful
guest experience but also to committing his time and effort to
foster support for the environment and community he finds himself
in, just like in his previous roles in the South Pacific and
Indian Ocean islands. We would like to leverage that and are proud
that the feeling and excitement around this new challenge for
Matthew was mutual. He takes over the day-to-day
aspects of running the Lodge and ensuring that we continue to
exceed Four Seasons legendary service that our guests have come to
expect; this is critically rooted in our people, our property and
the unique experiences we deliver.”
Matthew is a passionate amateur photographer of
the natural world, an avid scuba diver and is passionate about all
wildlife. His
involvement in several eco-projects in the ocean and its reefs
have helped positively impact the guest experience and the
destination. His experience will assist in
continuing to drive the Lodge’s various sustainability projects
while allowing guests to immerse themselves in the Serengeti with
all it has to offer.
“Growing up in Australia, I developed a passion
for nature and the different cultures around me. This was
cultivated further as I tenured at resorts in the South Pacific
and in the Indian Ocean,” he said. “Sure, I have swapped the beach
for the bush, but I cannot be prouder to join a Four Seasons
property with a verifiable track record of community and
environmental support through its ESG initiatives such as the ones
supported by the Discovery Centre fund. Working in the heart of
one of the world’s most breathtaking wildlife reserves is a very
thrilling life opportunity.”
