Remote Location and Exclusive Experience.
Located in the remote western reaches of the Serengeti National Park. This Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge offers a private Serengeti safari experience. Situated on the banks of a tributary of the Grumeti River. Also, this secluded lodge provides breathtaking views and unparalleled wildlife sightings. Due to its isolated location, there are very few lodges in this pristine section of the park. Ensuring an intimate and exclusive safari experience. Twice-daily game drives often encounter substantial lion pride, and clans of hyenas. Large herds of resident plains game and the unique black-and-white colobus monkeys found nowhere else in the Serengeti.
Unique Lodge Design and Luxury
The lodge’s design embraces the natural bow shape of the river and the circular forms of a traditional Maasai manyatta, creating an understated sense of luxury. Featuring Kitenge fabrics and stone walls, the lodge incorporates vibrant colors inspired by Lake Victoria’s fishing communities and the grey tones of hippo hides. This design philosophy results in deeply comfortable furnishings and bespoke, hand-made fittings. Upon arrival, guests experience a ‘wow’ moment as they enter the spacious guest area, with its expansive decks ideal for enjoying sundowners overlooking the river. The sparkling rim-flow swimming pool offers a stunning view of the seasonal hippo pods below.
Elegant Accommodations
The lodge features ten nostalgically elegant and spacious guest suites that blend seamlessly with the landscape. Each suite is designed to maximize natural light and includes an enormous bed, a bath, an indoor shower with spectacular views, and a private plunge pool. For adventurous families, a Family Suite is available, which includes an additional minor children’s bedroom, providing a unique opportunity to explore the African bush together.
Culinary Delights and Cultural Immersion
Guests can immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine through exquisite meals offered at the lodge. Breakfast trays with freshly squeezed juices and house-baked bread are a must-try, while the interactive kitchen allows guests to collaborate with chefs to plan their daily menus. The traditional boma, a highlight of nighttime dining, features artisanal pizzas and salt-crusted, whole-baked fish, celebrating the region’s great lakes and other delicious offerings. The central circular bar, adorned with woven fabrics and dramatic glass ball light installations, provides a convivial space for afternoon and evening gatherings.
Wellness and Recreation
For those seeking physical activity, the lodge offers a gym for a vigorous workout. Alternatively, guests can indulge in an in-room African wellness treatment for a pampering experience.
