Grumeti River Camp
Location - Grumeti River, Serengeti Western Corridor
Accommodation - funky 'tented camp' with 10 mega tents
Experience - Good year round game viewing with migration July & Aug
Price Guide - $625 - 950 pppn
Grumeti River Camp is a lavish luxury tented camp in the Serengeti Western Corridor. A great location as the migration heads accross the Grumeti River heading north and located in an area with good resident game year round. As at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, the degree of luxury and the price will doubtless appear over the top to some people, but there's no doubt that the level of service and originality of this camp make it worth a visit for a couple of nights if you are looking for some pampering.

Grumeti River Camp is set in the shade of riverine trees on an oxbow pool of the Grumeti River in the western corridor of the Serengeti. The Grumeti River is one of the relatively few places in the Serengeti where you can catch up with crocodiles and hippos, and there are quite a few residents that live close to the camp. The thick woodland along the river also attracts a different range of species to those you'll see in the plains like black and white colobus monkeys and some superb birdlife.
Also worth mentioning that camps and game drives in this area can suffer from occasional tsetse issues. This varies hugely and in our opinion is definitely not a reason to miss out either the area or the camp, but we think it's helpful to flag up the issue and do ask us for any latest updates if you're concerned.
Location - Serengeti and Surrounding Areas
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. The proliferation of animal life here simply defies belief and in the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
