Grumeti River Camp

Escape to Grumeti River Camp, where the essence of the Serengeti’s wild side is tempered with the luxury of a high-end retreat. Situated along the Grumeti River in the western corridor of the Serengeti, this camp is a haven for those who wish to experience nature’s theatre in style. The camp’s architecture and decor introduce a playful yet sophisticated vibe, with its vibrant colors and rustic charm offering a stark contrast to the surrounding wilderness. Here, the level of service and culinary delights would not be out of place at Africa’s most exclusive safari lodges.

The camp’s location by the perennial Grumeti River ensures that wildlife is always at your doorstep, making any time a good time to visit, though the migration from late-May to July transforms the area into a stage for one of nature’s greatest shows. The main areas of the camp, with their terracotta buildings and thatched roofs, provide a cool, dark retreat from the day’s heat, while the outdoor spaces, with their bright cushions and mosaic inlaid paths, invite you to enjoy the river’s daily drama.
