Serengeti River Lodge, Tanzania

Have you ever dreamed of having the Serengeti at your feet? Have you ever imagined seeing large herds of wild animals without having to share space with other people? Introducing the Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge, a well-kept secret in the western region of the Serengeti! 

This place is perfect for wildlife lovers who want to enjoy their own private Serengeti experience. Remotely located, with fewer crowds and vehicles, you will have the opportunity to have the plains full of wild animals all to yourself. You will be able to see large prides of lions, abundant predators, herds of hyenas, buffalo, elephants, hippos.... 

This isolated area also has an annual migration of topi and the spectacular black and white colobus monkeys found nowhere else in the Serengeti! 

But there is one thing that makes Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge even more special: its lions. In addition to its spectacular natural setting, this part of the Serengeti is known for its large groups of lions. There are four resident groups in the area, ranging from 20 to 60 individuals. The lodge team on site continuously monitors lion numbers, so you can be sure of excellent sightings. It is very likely that you will be able to see the animals without passing other cars because there is not much traffic. 

The lodge is located on the banks of a river in the remote western region of the park, on a tributary of the Grumeti River. The permanent waters of the Grumeti River and those of the seasonal Mbalageti River attract an abundance of wildlife. Resident hippos grunt in the quiet pools in front of the lodge, while crocodiles lie like logs in the shallows. Meals can be enjoyed on the expansive terrace with beautiful river views, while the dining room opens onto a traditional African boma, where dinner is served under a billion stars. 

Sustainable design is another highlight of the Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge. Using the natural arched shape of the river and paying homage to the circular forms of a traditional Masai Manyatta, the cultural dwellings of the Maasai people, the lodge unfolds to reveal an understated sense of exclusivity rooted in sustainability. Lightly touching the earth and seemingly floating in the landscape, 10 nostalgically elegant and very spacious guest suites await you. Expect the ultimate in exclusivity, taking only beautiful memories home and leaving little to no trace behind. 

In short, the Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge is a true hidden treasure.
