The Serengeti is home to literally millions of large herbivores, as well as the accompanying carnivores and prolific birdlife. The Park boasts more than 35 species of plains-dwelling mammals and is renowned for its annual wildebeest migration. Almost two million wildebeest, zebra, eland and Thomson’s gazelle follow the annual rains through the Serengeti to the adjacent Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in search of prime grazing. As the dense herds of herbivores move across the plains, they are shadowed by predators and scavengers.
The Serengeti is famous for its lion population and a number of prides inhabit the Grumeti area. While largely nocturnal, spotted hyena make the most of the passing annual Migration. At such times, the hyena may be spotted wandering among the herds in the plain light of day. Another scavenger typically encountered on the outskirts of the Migration is the vulture, with the African white-backed vulture and the Rüppell’s vulture outnumbering the other species. With the grasslands largely open, October is a good time to watch cheetah hunting near Grumeti.
Sustainability
At &Beyond we seek to maintain a low impact on the land while deriving high yield for our conservation initiatives by creating very small luxury lodges that support enormous tracts of bio-diverse land, which remains untouched. At every lodge we seek out small (and sometimes not so small) but meaningful ways of putting our values into action every day. Each &Beyond lodge supports the conservation of wildlife and contributes to its neighbouring communities in one way or another. In addition, we seek to limit our impact in terms of fossil fuels, the use of renewable energy, water and waste management, and recycling.
At &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp, a doctor is employed full-time by the camp to assist with local staff community health and villagers are trained how to plant vegetable gardens.
Other Considerations
Weather: Grumeti experiences pleasant temperatures,
although summers can be hot and humid.
Rainfall: Rainfall is seasonal with the so-called ‘short rains’ in November and December and the ‘long rains’ from March to May. The average annual rainfall is 800mm to 1000mm.
Temperature: Generally, temperatures are pleasant,
sometimes rising above 32°C/90°F. September, October and
January are the warmest months. Temperatures rarely drop
below 10°C/50°F. July is usually the coolest month.
Best time to travel: There is excellent game viewing
throughout the year. The migration is a 12-month cycle and the best time to see the migration at
Grumeti is June and July. These months fall in the dry season. The Great Migration usually crosses the Grumeti River affording excellent viewing of the enormous crocodiles in action.
Malaria: Please note Grumeti River Camp is situated in a
malaria area and necessary precautions should be taken.
Camp closure: Grumeti closes during April and May each year during the long rains.
