Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge
&BEYOND Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge is a luxury lodge located in the remote western reaches of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. The lodge sits on the banks of a tributary of the Grumeti River and its proximity to water draws a profusion of wildlife throughout the day and night.
The lodge features 10 nostalgically elegant, and very spacious, guest suites with an enormous bed, bath, an indoor shower with a spectacular view, and sparkling private plunge pool. There is an interactive kitchen which creates a space for you to work alongside chefs and plan your menus for the day and a convivial circular bar; a masterpiece of woven fabrics and dramatic glass ball light installations. Enjoy sundowners on one of the spacious decks overlooking the river or take a dip in the rim-flow swimming pool which provides a view of the seasonal hippo pools below.
