Grumeti Private Game Reserve

Bordering the Western Serengeti, Singita Grumeti is a privately-managed, 350,000-acre private concession that lies directly on the Great Wildebeest Migration Route. It offers a front-row seat to this magnificent wildlife spectacle as predators and prey battle it out, with the lodge combining classic, big-game safari experiences with secluded, luxury accommodation.

Singita features just five small properties, ensuring exceptional game viewing with few other vehicles in sight. Unlike in the adjacent Serengeti National Park, guides are permitted to drive off-road to enable up-close sightings, with guests also invited to take part in guided nature walks, night game drives and sunrise hot-air ballooning. Meet the locals during community visits or get a behind-the-scenes look at the vital work being conducted by anti-poaching units in the Serengeti region.

While the migration months of June and July will see you come face-to-face with massive herds of wildebeest as they attempt to cross the crocodile-infested Grumeti River, September and October are also among the best months to visit the reserve. Witness huge herds of zebra and wildebeest grazing on the short grasses, accompanied by Thomson’s gazelle, elephant and easy-to-spot predators.
