Introduction

Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp is one of the the most luxurious camp offerings in the western region of the Serengeti. A wild and remote camp that is situated on the banks of the famed Grumeti River.

This particular region of the Serengeti offers great year round wildlife experiences with abundant wildlife and birdlife.

The camp offers up a laid-back and rustic feeling yet the levels of service, quality of guiding and cuisine is up there with the best in Africa.

Rooms and Suites

10 rather spacious tented suites with thatched roofing await guests each with en-suite bathrooms, private verandahs and stunningly comfortable bedding.

The tented suites are spaced apart for the ultimate in privacy and all offer views out over the Grumeti river below and her pods of hippos. The suites are of a rustic yet sophisticated affair that perfectly blends in with the surrounding riverine atmosphere.

A particular highlight of the accommodation are those open air, outdoor showers.

Cuisine and Wine

Al fresco dining in the star stubbed boma is a treat for all, a large open fire is centrally located and adds magic to the evening dining experience with the calls of Africa's wildlife in the distance.

Breakfast and lunches are in general served in the main dining area or down by the swimming pool, both areas offer stunning views.

Private dinners are of course available on request as are child friendly menus. There is a pizza oven in the boma area, so getting kids fed is a rather easy task.

Facilities

The open-fronted main lodge area offers up dining areas, a dome bar and of course spacious decks all overlooking the river with her hippo's and birdlife. A rather enjoyable rim-flow swimming poll is perfectly positioned to escape the heat of the Serengeti days.

In the library area of the main lodge there is a rather nice collection of wildlife books, magazines and videos for guest to peruse.

Activities

Twice daily game drives (morning and afternoon) in custom 4x4 safari vehicles are led by experienced guides and trackers. Tracking large prides of lions, clans of hyena's as well as the seasonal migration is all part and parcel of ones stay here at Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp.

If birding is high on your list of activities, one is sure not to be disappointment. By simply sitting at the pool area or taking a slow walk around the lodge grounds one will be amazed at what one gets to see.

Balloon safaris
