Our take

About Grumeti Hills

Grumeti Hills occupies a wooded hill in a wildlife management area bordering the western Serengeti. We would consider it when a varied safari, including activities beyond daytime game drives, is more important than being inside the national park itself.

The camp has a pool with landscape views, a lounge and massage facilities. Electric safari vehicles and solar energy are prominent features of its approach to exploring the surrounding conservation area.

Planning your stay

Build this into your Tanzania journey.

We would use Grumeti Hills to add variety rather than assume it replaces every national-park camp. A western conservation-area stay can complement nights elsewhere in the Serengeti, giving you a different activity rhythm and a chance to explore after sunset. Two or three nights leave time to enjoy a walk, game drives and the pool without turning every day into a transfer. We will review whether your route works best by road or with an air connection, and whether a further stay in the central or northern park serves your particular interests. The migration should inform that decision, alongside resident wildlife and the overall pace.

The right fit

Would Grumeti Hills suit you?

Who it suits

Couples and families looking for tented accommodation with a pool and a broader activity programme. It is worth considering for travellers who want an introduction to walking or are interested in nocturnal wildlife. Family units make it relevant when separate bedrooms are preferable to adding beds to one tent.

Things to consider

The property is outside Serengeti National Park in a wildlife management area. Park excursions and conservation-area activities may involve different fees, vehicles and arrangements. We will confirm inclusions, child age limits and walking suitability. Activity availability depends on local conditions and guide arrangements; a suggested walk or night drive should not be treated as automatically included in every rate.

Grumeti Hills FAQs

Is Grumeti Hills inside Serengeti National Park?

No. It is in a wildlife-management area on the park’s western edge. The setting allows activities in the surrounding landscape, with separate arrangements for national-park visits.

Can we take night drives at Grumeti Hills?

The operator offers day and night drives in the wildlife-management area. We confirm the vehicle, guiding and package inclusions for your dates.

What else can we do besides game drives?

Guided walks, bush breakfasts and time by the panoramic pool provide a different pace. Walking requires the appropriate guide and ranger arrangements.

Is Grumeti Hills the same as the Grumeti River lodges?

No. Grumeti Hills is a separate property from both &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge and Singita Faru Faru. The operator and location should be clear in your itinerary.
