About

Nestled within the remote Grumeti region, the lodge has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the vibrant spirit of Africa while maintaining a close connection with the surrounding wilderness. The architecture blends naturally with the environment, using organic shapes, bright textiles and open-air spaces that invite the outside in. With a strong focus on personalised service, conservation and genuine warmth, Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge offers an unforgettable, immersive stay far from the crowds.

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.

Every meal is a journey of taste, carefully prepared by talented chefs to enhance the sense of place and occasion.
