  GRUMETI RIVER CAMP


Grumeti River Camp lies in the path of the migration (occurring around June/July) and abounds with resident game all year round.

Grumeti River Camp Location
Grumeti River Camp is set in the western corridor of the magnificent Serengeti National Park at the edge of a permanent oxbow pan formed by an overflow of the Grumeti River. Supporting lush riverine forest, the Grumeti River provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains and hosts some of the Serengeti's more unusual species, such as the black and white colobus monkey. Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, lies 50 kms to the west and provides a fascinating outing.

 

Grumeti River Camp Attractions
Grumeti River Camp is situated on a by water of the Grumeti River, known for its huge crocodiles. These antediluvian reptiles, ancestors of the dinosaurs, lurk in the river waiting for the great migration, where thousand upon thousand of wildebeest and zebra, drawn by ancient behavior patterns and fresh grazing, must cross in order to make the great trek from the Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara. The camp is built amongst tall evergreen trees on the water's edge. The water of the pan is home to families of grunting hippo, which float amongst the watery carpet of lilies, and the bird life is varied and prolific. The Western Corridor offers more than just an annual stop-off point for the migration. Its colorful topography of hills, rivers and flood plains provides year-round habitat for many of the Serengeti's species.

Grumeti River Camp Facilities
The tents are a delight. Huge, monumental beds, of Tanzanian cypress, envelop the guest in luxury. The large shower in the private bathroom is open to the sky under its wrought iron dome offering all the pleasure of showering in the open air with none of the embarrassment! In the dining area and the bar local materials have been used to create a playful and quirky, yet very African style. Intricate mosaic work decorates low walls and steps, bright cushions in burnt orange, yellows and greens upholster the sculptural shapes of the wrought iron furniture, while twisted tree-trunks support the beamed makuti roof. At night the lodge buildings and paths are magically lit by flaming torches and lamps. The staff will escort you to the boma, an open-air theatre for food. Here throne-style chairs made from twigs with cushions of royal purple surround a large and beautifully decorated table to make an experience dramatic yet entirely appropriate.
Grumeti River Camp Additional Information
Game drives are fully interpretative, and explore the Serengeti savannahs and woodlands, which have the largest mass of free-ranging animals on earth, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and giraffe as well as some of the highest densities of cheetah in Africa, large prides of lion and solitary leopards. At other times you may slip into the grey-green pool from where you may gaze out over the river. Here stone, smooth decking and wooden loungers with beige covers tie this area to the surrounding landscape.

Kirawira Camp Attractions
Without even leaving camp one can encounter much of the extraordinary bird life known to the immediate area. In Kirawira's intimate setting guests have the opportunity to experience Africa, as did the early pioneers ... as if they are among the first visitors to travel these extraordinary lands.


Kirawira Camp Facilities
This luxury-tented camp is a stylish evocation of the Victorian colonial period. Guests have all the comforts that colonial travelers would have taken on safari, supplemented by more modern luxuries. Located on one of the Kirawira range of hills in the western corridor of the Serengeti, the camp overlooks, in the near distance, the famous Grumeti River with its giant crocodiles and, some distance beyond, Speke's Bay, a part of Lake Victoria. The camp is all canvas and is almost invisible from afar. It is designed and sited to harmonize with the natural surroundings whilst offering the highest standards of comfort and service. Twenty-five double tents on platforms have either twin or king-sized beds, mosquito netted and covered in bright patchwork covers. The en-suite bathroom contains a generous selection of Floris goodies including blissful aromatherapy oils, a robe and large, soft white towels. The wardrobe is leather cornered and studded just like a colonial traveling trunk. A dish of delicious treats awaits the weary traveler - fresh fruit, chocolate, sweetmeats and nuts tempt the palate. A large tented veranda allows you to gaze at the lovely views as you sip your drink and think about the Empire! A covered terrace flanks the main lounge and frames vistas across the plains to the misty-blue Bunda Hills rising in the distance. A thoughtfully placed telescope allows you to pick out minute detail. Here you may take afternoon tea, served from a silver teapot. This is also a favorite spot in which to take a sundowner. Kirawira serves a potent cocktail called the "paralytic weaver". The second part of the name refers to the little birds that weave their straw nests in the trees around the camp, the first part is self-explanatory! Dinner is served in the dining tent, where white napery, crystal and porcelain recall colonial dinner parties. Waiters wearing the khanzu - a long white tunic - will serve the high quality cuisine in which East African flavors predominate yet are never overpowering.
Kirawira Camp Additional Information
Big game safaris will take you in search of lion, cheetah, gazelle, and many other species

Game Drives Safari Birding Swimming Pool Price Range - East Africa: $250 plus

Mbalageti Serengeti Attractions
The vast Serengeti is one of the most stunning wildlife sanctuaries on the planet. The name comes from the Maasai "siringet" referring to endless plains. This vast savannah hosts the world’s largest surviving concentration of plains game. In addition to the short grass plains there are beautiful rocky out-cropping called kopjes (pronounced copies) and thousands of acres of bush and acacia woodland. The Seronera area has permanent water and therefore is an excellent area to spot the big cats and elephant in the dry season.

Mbalageti Serengeti Facilities
The Lodge has 12 standard rooms, 24 tented chalets, and 2 exclusive suites. The standard rooms are basic but comfortable rooms in a conventional building, each having ensuite bathrooms, and their own verandah. The tented chalets are permanent tents (i.e. with wooden floors and a rock wall). They all have either sunrise or sunset views, shower and bathtub, and are decorated in classic safari style. The exclusive suites are luxurious two bedroom accommodation, great for an indulgent holiday, or to comfortably accommodate a family of four. Each has an open-air hot tub, mini bar, wide screen TV, DVD player and stereo. The restaurant's cuisine is something special, with themed evenings such as Thai evening and African night. You can enjoy your meals indoors or around the swimming pool under the stars.

   KUSINI CAMP

The Serengeti is superb cheetah habitat, boasting the largest population in Africa, and is one of the few places where it can be considered a common animal.

Camp Kusini Location
The camp is located in the Hambi ya Mwaki-Nyeb Kopjes in the south central Serengeti in the western area near the border with the Maswa Game Reserve. The camp lies carefully couched in an outcrop of large boulders (or Kopjes). The actual site was chosen because of the views, the unusual location and the all-year proximity of game which is due to easy access from the camp to several different types of habitat - short grass plains, rocky outcroppings and acacia bush / woodland. The camp is a 15 minute drive from it’s own airstrip.

Camp Kusini Attractions By far the most famous and spectacular event is the annual migration of Wildebeest from the north. With the Wildebeest come Zebra, Thomson's gazelle and the full range of predators. This takes place during December to March. However, the mass movement of the migration can be influenced by many factors including the unpredictable seasonal nature of the rainfall. The seasonal changes influencing the vegetation changes which in turn influences the movement of animals.

Camp Kusini Facilities
Built in and around a large kopje, the camp offers spectacular views across Tortillas woodland situated on the edge of the short grass plains. The camp comprises of 12 double tents scattered around the kopje with the mess tent and common area as the central feature. Privacy between tents is guaranteed as they are a substantial distance from each other and are generally concealed by a tree or kopje. The tents face in different directions giving different views from the other tents although the general direction of the camp is south. Spectacular sunsets and sunrises can be viewed from the kopje within the camp.

  MIGRATION CAMP NORTHERN SERENGETI

The Migration Camp sits on the banks of the Grumeti River, so you can usually hear the hippos at night. It is also close to the Lobo area for great wildlife viewing.

Migration Camp Location
Migration Camp is located in roughly the center of the northern Serengeti. Situated on a large ridge above the Grumeti River, the lodge offers commanding views of the surrounding landscape. Approximately 25 miles to the north is Kenya and the Masai Mara National Park. The border has been closed since 1977 and you are not allowed to drive into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti. The Central Serengeti, specifically Seronera, is located about 30 miles to the south.

Migration Camp Activities
Wildlife Game Drives Safari Walking Honeymoon Photography Birding Luxury Tented Camp Swimming Pool Child Friendly
Migration Camp Attractions
Migration Camp is recommended during a portion of the dry season from early July through mid November when game viewing is good to excellent in the immediate area. July (northward migration) and October (southward migration) are the absolute best times to visit. During these months, the migration should be in full swing and hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra should be passing through the immediate area as they make their way to or from the Serengeti plains.

Migration Camp Facilities
Accommodations at Migration Camp consist of 20 luxury suites under canvas on elevated wooden platforms. There are 12 doubles, 7 twins and 1 honeymoon suite. The doubles can be converted to triples to accommodate two adults and one child. Each tent is massive and well appointed with beautiful hardwood floors and rich furnishings including a writing desk, leather love seat and power outlets to charge your camera or camcorder batteries. There is a small balcony at the back of each tent with two cozy rocking chairs. Each tent is also equipped with en suite bathrooms with running water, dual washbasins, toilet, shower and even a hairdryer. Intimate accommodations, great food, friendly service, entertaining hippos and an authentic bush feel combine to form the ideal place from which to explore the remote and wild Northern Serengeti. The only downside with Migration Camp is that it is a long walk from your tent to the dining and reception area including a steep set of stairs (approx. 45 steps). But even those steps add to the beauty and appeal of the Migration Camp, allowing the main lodge, pool, dining and common area to have spectacular and relaxing views.
