Rooms
The suites of the lodge are open, airy, and thoughtfully designed. Large panoramic windows bring the Grumeti River right into the room, while bright colors, natural materials, and handpicked details create a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Each suite features a private veranda with a plunge pool – perfect for watching the wildlife from your sun lounger. The bathroom also opens to nature, making the morning wake-up experience something special. For families, there is a generous suite with two bedrooms and plenty of space.
Culinary
At the Grumeti River Lodge, every day begins with freshly brewed coffee and a view of the hippos. Cooking is done with regional ingredients, and meals are served to match the mood and the location – sometimes by the river, sometimes under the starry sky. The cuisine is light, creative, and surprisingly diverse. Fresh vegetables, spices from Zanzibar, and influences from East Africa blend into dishes that are both authentic and refined. The atmosphere remains relaxed and personal – a culinary experience that delights without overwhelming.
Activities
Here, the safari experience is at the center. Whether on classic game drives, enjoying a sundowner by the river, or walking with a ranger – the closeness to nature is always palpable. The region around the Grumeti River is particularly rich in wildlife and known for large buffalo herds, lion prides, and seasonally also for the Great Migration. Thanks to the seclusion, there are hardly any other vehicles around – a real advantage for intensive wildlife observation. For those who wish, the day can end with a massage in the open spa or simply enjoying the tranquility of the wilderness.
Location
The lodge is located in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park – a region that fascinates with its river landscapes, gallery forests, and density of wildlife. Especially from May to July, the Great Migration passes through this area. The lodge can be reached by small aircraft via the nearby Grumeti Airstrip. The seclusion ensures an exclusive safari experience, where nature, sounds, and moods have an intense effect. Those who want to experience the Serengeti in its original form will find the perfect place here.
