A luxury tented camp located in the Grumeti Game Reserve
Offering stunning views and in close proximity to the Grumeti River, this camp is a must visit
Location: Situated in the remote and scenic Grumeti Wildlife Management Area, right on the border of the iconic Serengeti National Park. Its elevated position atop a hill offers sweeping views of the plains below, and its proximity to the Grumeti River ensure excellent wildlife sightings year-round. Located just a short drive from the Ikoma airstrip, the camp provides convenient access for fly-in safaris, while also remaining secluded enough to deliver an exclusive and immersive bush experience. The camp also sits along the route of the Great Wildebeest Migration, offering guests front-row seats to one of nature's most dramatic spectacles.
Rooms: There are 20 spacious, elevated tented suites, each designed with both comfort and eco-consciousness in mind. The tents are built on wooden platforms and offer en-suite bathrooms, solar-heated showers, and wide verandas that overlook the sweeping savannah. Interiors combine natural materials and modern furnishings, creating a cosy yet redefined atmosphere. Available in single, double, twin, triple and family arrangements, the tents cater to a wide variety of travellers, including couples, families and solo adventurers.
Activities: The camp offers a wide range of wildlife and nature-focused activities designed to enhance guests' safari experience. These include walking safaris that are led by experienced guides and armed rangers, offering a deeper understanding of the ecosystem and its inhabitants. Game drives - both day and night - which are conducted in silent, electric-powered 4x4 vehicles, allowing for low-impact exploration and close encounters with animals. Guests can also enjoy sundowners and bush dinners under the stars.
Sustainability: Sustainability is the heart of Grumeti Hills Camp's philosophy. The camp is entirely solar-powered, from electricity to water heating, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Innovative rainwater harvesting systems provide a substantial portion of the camp's water needs, and waste is carefully managed to minimise environmental impact. The use of electric safari vehicles not only reduces emissions but also offers a quieter, less intrusive way to observe wildlife. These efforts align with the camp's commitment to conservation and responsible tourism, helping protect the surrounding habitat and local communities.
