AndBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp

As usual &Beyond proof that they can provide magical lodges and services in the middle of the bush. Rooms are not rooms but small house with all you can dream about. Food is fantastic and the game drives are against the best we had in Serengeti with the impression to be alone. Spectacular landscapes wit all the Cats you can image (Big lion prides, Chethas, Leopards in trees...)

There are not enough words to describe me and my family’s memorable stay at andBeyond Grumeti. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and welcomed like family by the jovial staff. Impeccably built and tastefully decorated, you feel as if you are living amongst the wildlife (and you are, as the guest area and rooms surround a lively hippo pool which is always a sight to see). The rooms are relaxing and contemporary with abundant natural light, comfortable bedding, and your own private plunge pool. Unwinding at the end of a long day was always easy in rooms like these! Dining was an absolute treat at Grumeti. Meals were fresh, healthy, and carefully curated so that you always had something different to try. After game drives, it was always nice to come back to the circular bar in the guest area, grab a refreshing drink, and discuss about the sights that were seen. Game drives were an absolute highlight of the stay. Waziri and Yona were the two guides that accompanied us. Their knowledge, passion, and positive attitudes always made for enjoyable time. With how secluded Grumeti is, we were lucky enough to feel as if we were seeing the wildlife in our own private reserve. The twice-daily game drives allowed for us to see an abundance and diverse set of wildlife. Our 4 day stay was magical from beginning to end, which made it even more difficult to leave! To each and every person at Grumeti (Chris, Joseph, Patrice, Daniel, Frank, Ally, Juma, Waziri, Yona, and many others), thank you for making our experience in the Serengeti unforgettable!

Our experience here at Grumeti River Lodge was simply magical! Located along the Grumeti river and only a 5 minute drive from the airstrip, we got to see the resident hippos as they basked in the Serengeti sun half submerged in the water. We absolutely LOVED the location of this lodge! We were welcomed by the staff as we pulled up in our safari vehicle with singing, clapping, and a much appreciated fizzy lemonade drink! We were shown to our rooms and, while we were unpacking, noticed 4 giraffes nibbling on some leaves right outside our front door! I was in heaven! Each accommodation is well-appointed and we really enjoyed having our own plunge pool and deck. Food and drinks were delicious, service was great, and we really appreciated the staff here (thank you Joseph, Frank, sweet May, and the rest which unfortunately whose names I can't remember), they went above and beyond all expectations when they had us dine in a special area and sang us a song to wish us a happy anniversary! As I stated, it was a magical stay and memories were created that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Grumeti River Lodge!
