Accommodation
The lodge features a collection of spacious suites, each thoughtfully positioned to maximise privacy and incredible river views. Suites are styled with a contemporary African flair, featuring large canopied beds, expansive decks with plunge pools, and open-plan bathrooms complete with both indoor and outdoor showers. The design is luxurious yet unpretentious, allowing guests to fully unwind while remaining connected to the beauty of the Serengeti.
Food & drink
Dining at Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge is a relaxed and refined experience, celebrating fresh ingredients and African flavours with a modern twist. Meals are served in a beautiful open-air dining space or under the stars by the riverbank, complemented by a curated selection of fine wines and craft cocktails. Every meal is a journey of taste, carefully prepared by talented chefs to enhance the sense of place and occasion.
What to do
Days at the lodge are filled with unforgettable adventures, including expertly guided game drives that reveal the diverse wildlife of the Grumeti region, famous for its large lion prides, elephant herds and seasonal wildebeest migration crossings. Guests can also enjoy walking safaris for a more intimate encounter with the bush, birdwatching along the river, or simply relax by the pool (or gym) while observing hippos and crocodiles in view.
Planning your stay
The Serengeti changes character through the year. Southern plains, central valleys, western corridor and northern river country are different choices; we position a camp for your dates and interests rather than promising a particular herd movement.
A two- or three-night stay gives time to settle in, while extra nights can be valuable if the migration is a priority. Consider how flights and onward connections affect time in the field.
