About this place
Expect a private Serengeti experience on the banks of a river; complete with a seasonal hippo pod, impressive lion prides and meaningful community collaborations. Perhaps one of the Serengeti's best-kept secrets, wildlife lovers can enjoy their own private Serengeti in the western parts of the park. Remotely situated with far fewer crowds and vehicles, enjoy having the game-rich plains to yourself. Witness large resident prides of lion with four resident prides consisting of between 20 and up to 60 lions, an abundance of predators, hyena clans, buffalo, elephant, hippo and herds of plains game. The lodge is set in the remote western reaches of the park on a tributary of the Grumeti River where permanent waters attract abundant wildlife.
