&BEYOND, GRUMETI SERENGETI TENTED CAMP, TANZANIA
Playful and colourful, &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp sits among tall evergreen trees right at the water’s edge. The surface of this pan of water is cloaked with a vivid green layer of water lettuce that helps to shade resident hippos from the intense African sun. This is also a playground for wading birds.
The whimsical sweep of flamboyant safari tents hides a blaze of colour in the delightful interiors, with quirky touches and tongue-in-cheek surprises. Al fresco showers are open to the sun and stars, while the calls of hippo provide a nightly serenade.
Intimate guest areas boast colourful open-fronted sitting and dining areas and domed bar, all adorned with Yoruba beaded artefacts. Traditional jikos (fires) and outdoor ovens produce mouth watering aromas and dinner under a billion stars. The spacious decks are perfect for sundowners overlooking the river, and romantic private dinners at the swimming pool can be arranged for any special occasion.
A wild and remote experience in the thick of the resident game, Grumeti is the perfect vantage point for one of the most famous fording points of the wildebeest migration.

Wild and remote
Nestled among tall evergreen trees on the water’s edge, Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp offers a wild and remote experience in the thick of the animal action. Set on the banks of an oxbow lake formed by the Grumeti River, the Camp provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the unique sight of the vast masses of the Great Migration making their dramatic river crossing. Dense riverside thickets hide a multitude of secrets and delights, from the acrobatic antics of colobus monkeys to the brilliant plumage of dozens of bird species.
Blaze of colour
Step into a blaze of colour in one of only ten flamboyant tents tucked under shady palm frond roofs. Bright, whimsical interiors welcome and invigorate. Vibrant surprises await at every step, from the beaded curtains in the guest areas to the intricate mosaic surfaces of the table tops. Everyday objects acquire a sense of the unusual, with even the spacious outdoor shower shaded from the sun and stars by only a wrought iron dome. Night time becomes an adventure, as hippo call to one another while you lie in the comfort of your king size bed.
Nightly serenade
Riotous colours spread through the guest areas, where bright decks open onto the riverfront. Intimate spaces with orange, yellow and green cushions refresh and renew and guests watch the river inhabitants from the vantage point of the lodge pool. As night descends, camp buildings and paths are magically lit by flaming torches and lamps. Tempting scents from the boma entice and attract. Traditional fires, jikos and outdoor ovens produce mouth-watering aromas and meals, and the sounds of the African night provide a backdrop to tales of the day’s adventures.
At Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp age is truly just a number! Young or old, this vibrant and rejuvenating haven charms all guests with its warm welcome and dramatic setting.
With ample resident game, the Camp is also the perfect vantage point for one of the most famous crossing points of the Great Migration.
Relax right on the water’s edge and unwind to the playful frolics of our resident family of hippo. Just make sure you don’t try to take a walk on that extra green patch of lawn - it’s really a floating garden of water cabbage that is home to some of Africa’s biggest crocodiles!
