Overview of Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge

Tanzania, Serengeti

Located deep in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge is in the thick of the region's tremendous wildlife action. Set in an emerald forest facing an oxbow lagoon of the Grumeti River – a favourite with playful hippos, as well as being the only place in the country where the thumbless, pied colobus monkey is found – the camp consists of only 10 suites, making for intimate interaction with nature.

During the annual Great Migration, the camp is perfectly positioned to witness the intense drama when thousands of wildebeest, gazelles and zebras cross the Grumeti River, home to Africa's largest and most powerful Nile crocodile. Beyond the Migration, Serengeti National Park is home to 35 species of plains game, including the Big 5, cheetahs and spotted hyenas, as well as raptors like Rüppell's and African white-backed vultures. The camp's resident hippo pods wallow in the lagoon and you will be able to hear their grunts and bellows from your bed or outdoor shower; you will also be able to get the classic ‘laughing hippo' and ‘hippo surfacing with water weed' photographs!

With family-friendly accommodation and secluded honeymoon suites, Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge is ideal for experienced safari hands or adventurous newcomers alike.

Safari Tent

Ten luxuriously spacious and comfortable suites with king-sized beds line the riverside, positioned far enough apart for privacy and to take advantage of the marvellous views. Contemporary patterned ceilings cover the colourfully-decorated rooms that have large floor-to-ceiling windows to allow the view and natural light in.

Overhead fans keep you blissfully cool, and the en suite bathrooms feature a free-standing bath tub and an indoor shower. The private verandah provides the best spot to relax and take in the views. You also have a private plunge pool to enjoy a dip on warmer days.

General Facilities

A vibrant and playful décor theme runs through the lodge, where a large central building houses the lounge, dining and bar areas. Thatch, wood and stone are artfully blended to create a seamless transition from the outdoor wilderness to the comfortable interiors. The colourful and inviting lounge flows out onto a viewing deck overlooking the water where playful hippos frolic. The swimming pool alongside is the perfect spot for a refreshing dip during lazy afternoons watching the local wildlife passing by, and an amply-stocked gift shop provides you the chance to pick up a memento or two.

Delicious African-inspired dinners are often cooked over an open fire or in special safari ovens, served alfresco below the stars or in the intimate boma area.

    Beautiful property. Their staff was well trained and very friendly. They were a little more reserved in their interaction with us, but still very friendly and hospitable.

    &Beyond Grumeti was also a dream come true property! We especially enjoyed the “happy anniversary” wishes we received. It was a surprise, and they sang to us and had us by the pool. It was a wonderful memory! (My husband and I were celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary).

    Grumeti was very impressive. It was my favourite lodge from an aesthetic point of view. It had the most African vibe of all. We were lucky enough to be the only guests there our first night.

    Grumeti Tented Camp was probably our favourite: the staff was excellent – they made us feel at home and relaxed and didn’t fuss over us or make us feel like we were being “served” (which we don’t like). The camp was absolutely amazing: hippos and crocs in the river just outside our tent, animals roaming the camp (elephants, impalas, baboons, velvet monkeys….) the food and accommodations were beyond what we ever expected… the pool (again, overlooking a raft of hippos) was a godsend. The safari drives were perfect: we were the only ones and, i think we saw 3 other cars during our entire stay at Grumeti. Getting there from Entebee was very convenient and painless. Honestly: if you can get word back to management regarding the staff that was at Grumeti while we were there: Mussa (manager) , John H (butler), Jackson (chef), Juma (housekeepr), Askari (i think that was his name? he was security) Yona (our ranger) and all the rest – they were exceptional and i will never forget my time with them.

    WOW! What a trip! It was absolutely amazing and we can’t thank you enough for all of your help! The service at all of these places was excellent: it was genuine and it seemed as though the people were very happy to have us as guests. The food at all of these places was first class! The safaris: unbelievable. On all of our safaris, we were lucky to have very experienced guides and we will always remember them. We saw and learned so much.

    Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp was outstanding. The ‘tent’ was very well designed, and we loved the outdoor shower. We were the only guests in an open vehicle. In addition to living with the hippos, we enjoyed seeing our first cheetah and cub, crocodiles, and colobus monkeys.

    Grumeti River camp was the most adventurous and offered the most “Oh my gosh I am going to die” excitement.
