The camp is set right on the banks of a tributary of the Grumeti River so year round guests can enjoy the noises of the pod of hippos just beneath their tents and in June and July you have a fantastic change of seeing the masses of animals making their dramatic river crossing. Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp is in fact the only camp in the Serengeti to look out onto a hippo pool.
Each of the tents are set along the river bank so the private deck of each tent offers fabulous river views, as does the sundeck around the camp swimming pool. The tents are rustic yet luxurious with sliding doors opening out onto their decks and discreet butler hatches for your morning drinks to be delivered through.
The main guest areas of the camp include an extensive deck near the swimming pool, a dining area that leads into a traditional African boma and a large sitting area and domed bar. As dusk falls the camp is lit up by flaming torches and paraffin lamps, giving it a wonderfully magical feel.
