Grumeti River Lodge

Location

Situated in a remote valley in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, just 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of Lake Victoria.

Accommodation and facilities

Grumeti’s spacious tents under makuti (palm frond) canopies together with the vibrancy of colourful interiors - including hand-blown Kenyan glassware, African cloth and local sculptured furnishings - bring alive the excitement of Africa. Each tented suite features a large bed made of Tanzanian cypress and comfortable deck furniture both in and outdoors. En suite bathrooms offer separate toilet and alfresco showers open to the sun and stars.

Activities and game viewing

Grumeti is set in the remote western corridor of the Serengeti, boasting five distinct habitats, which are home to an astounding year-round concentration of animals.

Experience exciting twice-daily game-drives into the Serengeti National Park and incredible birdwatching opportunities at no additional cost.

Expert guides will lead you on interpretive, twice-daily game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles into the game-rich Serengeti National Park, boasting the largest mass of free-ranging animals on earth. As there are only two small camps in this remote park, you almost never see other safari vehicles. Sundowners on the Kirawira Hills are a memorable way to end a day’s safari.

With over 341 species recorded, birdwatching around Grumeti is exceptional – birdwatchers almost always exceed their sighting targets.

Enjoy a day trip to Lake Victoria – Africa’s largest lake and the second largest lake in the world – situated 50 kilometres (31 miles) west of Grumeti River Camp. This exciting outing includes a safari, a visit to a local village and a panoramic view of the Lake from Speke Bay. (Please note this day trip is an optional extra.)

We also offer a full-day excursion into the neighbouring Bunda district which showcases various empowerment projects providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the local communities. (Please note this day trip is an optional extra.)

Take in the magnificent scenery with a balloon safari, taking off at dawn, rising as the sun rises and float in whichever direction the winds of the morning take us. Get a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. Enjoy the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Serengeti… Afterwards, celebrate in the traditional manner with an excellent sparkling wine before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in the bush in 'Out of Africa' style. (Please note this trip is an optional extra.)

Another option is the unique Specialist Safari. This is an unforgettable way of experiencing Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, accompanied throughout by a professional CC Africa guide and private safari vehicle. Each day is a tailor-made adventure, as you choose your own itinerary. (Please note the Specialist Safari is an optional extra.)
