Grumeti Sector – Explore Serengeti’s Exclusive Wildlife Haven

The Grumeti sector of the Serengeti was established by the government in 1994 as a reserve to protect the annual wildebeest migration route. It serves both the local community and the wildlife conservation fund.

Located in the western part of Serengeti National Park, it is a remote area ideal for tourists who value privacy.

Early booking is essential, especially during peak seasons, as the location can only accommodate 60 travelers. Early birds enjoy the best opportunities.

This region is renowned for its large lion prides, making it a must-visit for lion enthusiasts. These prides consist of males and females, with males dominating while females hunt and care for the cubs.

The gates of Grumeti are open year-round, offering flexibility since the area operates outside the park’s regulations. For safety, especially during nature walks, a tour guide is provided.

Adventurous tourists who prefer firsthand experiences often trek through the area, observing various plants, insects, and birds. Notable bird species include the tiny, colorful sunbird, grey-throated spurfowl, Schalow’s wheatear, red-throated tit, rufous-tailed weaver, grey-crested helmetshrike, and the majestic black eagle. Game drives in the area allow tourists to park at a distance and record wildlife, creating unforgettable memories.

Camping is another popular activity in this area. It provides excellent meals and comfortable bedding for visitors. However, caution is advised during camping. Walking alone is unsafe due to the presence of dangerous wildlife, including carnivores.

Tourists must follow all instructions, including avoiding urinating near the campsite, as lions can detect the scent. To avoid attracting lions, it’s essential to take these precautions seriously.

Visitors can also explore the surrounding villages, where the local people are welcoming and hospitable. Many even invite guests into their traditional huts, offering a glimpse into their culture and lifestyle.

Transport options to Grumeti include both road and air, depending on the traveler’s budget. Nearby accommodations include:

  • Grumeti Migration Camp
  • Singita Faru Faru Lodge
  • &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti
  • Singita Sabora Tented Camp
  • Singita Sasakwa Lodge
  • Singita Explore Mobile Tented Camp

Grumeti is truly a home away from home, offering an unforgettable experience. Don’t hesitate to visit and immerse yourself in its wonders.
