The Detail
Located in the remote western reaches of the Serengeti National Park, expect a private Serengeti safari experience complete with resident hippo pods and remarkable lion prides.
Perfectly situated on the banks of a tributary of the Grumeti River, in the secluded western parts of the Serengeti National Park, &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge offers breathtaking views and unparalleled sightings.
Due to its far-flung location, there are very few lodges in this pristine section of the park. This allows for an intimate and exclusive Serengeti safari experience. Twice-daily game drives from the lodge often encounter large lion prides, clans of hyenas, and big herds of resident plains game, as well as the special black-and-white colobus monkeys, found nowhere else in the Serengeti.
Walking into the guest area upon arrival is a real "wow" moment. Spacious decks are perfect for enjoying sundowners overlooking the river, and the lodge’s sparkling rim-flow swimming pool provides a view of the seasonal hippo pods below. The proximity to water draws a profusion of wildlife throughout the day and night.
Touching the earth lightly and seemingly floating across the landscape, 10 nostalgically elegant and spacious guest suites offer natural light, an enormous bed, a bath, an indoor shower (with a spectacular view), and a private plunge pool. A family suite, with the addition of a smaller children’s bedroom, offers adventurous families the unique opportunity to explore the African bush together.
Celebrating the local culture and cuisine, guests become immersed in the lodge’s exquisite meals, from breakfast to dinner. Much-loved and well-known breakfast trays, complete with freshly squeezed juices and house-baked bread, are absolutely not to be missed. The interactive kitchen creates a space for guests to work alongside chefs and plan their menus for the day. The traditional boma, a highlight of nighttime dining, serves a selection of artisanal pizzas and salt-crusted, whole-baked fish, which pays homage to the region’s great lakes, among many other delicious meals. Enjoy convivial afternoons and evenings around the central circular bar, which is a masterpiece of woven fabrics and dramatic glass ball light installations.
For those looking for an active workout, the gym is the perfect spot. However, if you feel like indulging in a pamper session, surrender to an in-room African wellness treatment.
