Fodor's Expert Review Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Situated on the banks of a Grumeti River tributary, in the western corridor of the Serengeti Grumeti, is a hospitable, delightful camp that seamlessly mixes rustic safari tents with easy sophistication. The tents combine hues of wildebeest gray with natural stone and bone, as well as bleached cypress, creating a camp that is toned down and intimate but still retains a quirky flavor. They have an extended veranda for pleasurable dining under the stars. The service is flawless with a butler station at the back of each tent. There's an abundance of birdlife and game, especially when the migration passes through. As you settle in for the evening you'll hear the resident hippos munching outside the tents and grunting to one another.
