The Endless Plains of the Serengeti

Set beside a quiet tributary of the Grumeti River in the remote western Serengeti, &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge offers a more secluded interpretation of this iconic wilderness. Hippos gather in the river below the lodge, while the surrounding landscape supports lion, elephant, buffalo and the seasonal movement of the Great Migration. Spacious suites open towards the river with private plunge pools, creating a place where the stillness of the landscape becomes part of the safari experience.

Set in the south-central Serengeti, Dunia Camp occupies a wonderfully strategic position between the Seronera Valley, Moru Kopjes and the southern plains. It is an intimate permanent camp where year-round wildlife and the rhythms of the Great Migration come together, but what makes Dunia particularly distinctive is its all-female team, from camp leadership through to guiding. The atmosphere is warm and personal, with a genuine sense of connection between guests, camp and wilderness.

Hidden among the vast grasslands of the eastern Serengeti, Namiri Plains is a secluded camp in one of Tanzania's most renowned big-cat regions. The landscape is open, remote and remarkably quiet, with lion, cheetah and leopard moving across the plains around camp. Contemporary tented suites open onto expansive views, while game drives, walking and specialist photographic experiences allow guests to spend their days immersed in a wilderness where predators take centre stage.

Overlooking the Grumeti River and a busy natural waterhole, Singita Faru Faru brings a relaxed, contemporary character to the western Serengeti. Its airy suites, open decks and seamless connection with the surrounding landscape create a feeling of living alongside the wilderness rather than simply observing it. Wildlife is ever-present, with the river and waterhole drawing animals close to camp and the wider Grumeti Reserve offering exceptional game viewing.

An exclusive-use retreat perched on Sasakwa Hill, Singita Kilima feels more like a private Serengeti home than a traditional safari lodge. The elevated setting looks across the endless plains of the Grumeti Reserve, while dedicated staff, a private vehicle and personalised safari experiences allow each stay to unfold entirely around the group. With five suites and space for up to ten guests, it is designed for families and groups who want the freedom and privacy of having the wilderness almost entirely to themselves.

Perched high on Sasakwa Hill, Singita Sasakwa combines sweeping views of the Serengeti with the atmosphere of an elegant Edwardian country estate. Private cottages sit among manicured gardens overlooking the endless plains, creating a striking contrast between old-world refinement and the untamed wilderness beyond. Days can be spent exploring the vast Grumeti Reserve before returning to a lodge where the pace becomes slower, more leisurely and deeply comfortable.
