Property details

The property

At the centre of the camp, there is a dining and lounge area where you can enjoy time spent swapping stories with the other guests. Natural wood accents and earthy tones create a serene setting, perfect for relaxing after a day in the bush. An open deck invites you to dine under the stars or enjoy a morning cup of coffee while watching wildlife traverse the landscape. A fire pit nearby sets the scene for storytelling under starry skies.

The rooms

The tented suites provide a haven of comfort, blending the thrill of sleeping under canvas with lodge-style luxuries. Each suite boasts plush bedding, woven rugs, and en-suite bathrooms with eco-friendly showers and solar-heated water. Large screens open up to reveal the rolling plains, allowing guests to feel as if they’re part of the wilderness while maintaining privacy and a sense of style.

Activities

Expert-guided game drives bring you into the heart of Grumeti’s diverse ecosystem, known for its impressive predator activity and migration routes. Bush walks introduce you to the finer details of the Serengeti’s flora and fauna, while cultural visits to local villages offer a glimpse into the traditions of nearby communities. Evenings are capped with sundowners and an optional night drive, revealing the park’s nocturnal wonders under the star-lit African sky.

Why we love it

The sweeping views of Grumeti’s landscapes, paired with exclusive, uncrowded game drives.

Insiders Tip

Early morning game drives yield the best chance for spotting leopards moving stealthily through the trees - don’t miss it!

Something to think about

The camp’s remote location adds to its charm as game drives are more private, but this also means that there are longer drives to get to certain areas.
