Location, Location, Location: In the Path of the Great Migration
Simbavati Grumeti is uniquely positioned on the western corridor of the Serengeti ecosystem, adjacent to the Grumeti River, a critical water source and wildlife magnet.
Between June and July, this area becomes a front-row seat to the Great Wildebeest Migration, as hundreds of thousands of wildebeests thunder across the plains in one of the world’s most breathtaking natural spectacles. But even outside the migration season, these plains host a thriving variety of wildlife year-round — including giraffe, buffalo, zebra, elephant, and the resident big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah.
From your private viewing deck, you may be lucky enough to see a herd of elephants wander past or watch a pride of lions resting in the distance.
🛖 Luxury Redefined: Safari Tents That Embrace the Landscape
At Simbavati Grumeti, the line between nature and comfort is beautifully blurred. Each of the ten luxury safari tents is designed to offer immersive views of the plains while maintaining the intimate feel of an African safari camp.
What You Can Expect:
- King-sized beds (convertible to twins)
- En-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers
- Spacious private decks for uninterrupted game viewing
- Ample storage and tasteful safari-themed furnishings
Whether you’re waking up with the sun or gazing at stars from your deck, this is glamping at its finest — with an authentic wilderness feel and just the right touch of indulgence.
