Grumeti River Camp

Grumeti River Camp is as wild as a camp as you can get in this part of the Serengeti but that the same time is the height of luxury. I particularly enjoyed watching the hippos from the pool deck right below me. This is THE top camp in this region for very good reason. It will suit those looking for an authentic safari experience in luxurious accommodation.

In the untouched seclusion of a remote, idyllic valley in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, 50km east of Lake Victoria, lies the tented Grumeti River Camp. Flanked by two hillsides, this blissful camp nestles beneath tall riverine trees on the banks of an oxbow tributary of the Grumeti River. It is one of the wildest and most remote camps in Africa's greatest wildlife sanctuary, the Serengeti.

Location

1 hour drive from the Handajega Airstrip. 450km drive from Arusha.

Highlights

The absolute highlight of staying at Grumeti River Camp is the proximity to the river. From the deck or the pool the hippo filled river is within a few steps.
Being in the ideal location to witness the dramatic river crossings of the wildebeest attempting to cross the Grumeti River
