andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge
andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge offers ultimate safari exclusivity along the banks of the famed Grumeti River
Escape to the idyllic great lakes region of western Africa where breathtaking views, unrivaled wildlife, and tranquil familiarity set the tone for the perfect getaway. &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge with its vibrant yet sophisticated interior, springs forth from the tributary banks of the Grumeti River and offers a luxurious Serengeti experience. Expect intimate safaris on twice daily game drives, exploring the remote terrain home to an abundance of wildlife that includes large prides of lion for which the area is known. Don’t miss the black-and-white colobus monkeys, found nowhere else in the Serengeti, trampolining from the tree branches. Keep your eyes on the river for crocodiles in the shallows and hippos grunting in placid pools from the extensive lodge deck where sundowners and delicious dining can be enjoyed under spectacular African skies.
Touching the earth lightly and seemingly floating across the landscape
The architectural design of the lodge is inspired by the ox-bow bend of the Grumeti River on which it is boldly positioned, with building elements that celebrate the Maasai manyattas – circular huts that expand across the Serengeti Western Corridor. Much of the vibrant culture and environment of Tanzania inspire the interior design of Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge, as it captures the essence of the great lakes region’s bright, energetic patterns and colors of kanga and kitenge fabrics which complement the richness of canvas, banana fiber, and hardwood cladding. The result is an effortless celebration of texture and clean lines that emulate luxury and comfort while embracing the surrounding environment sensitively.
