Grumeti Hills

options for walking safari and night safari

Grumeti Hills is located in the Serengeti Grumeti area of northern Tanzania.

This property is owned and operated by MKSC, a partly French-owned safari company which is actually the oldest of its type in Tanzania.

The camp is set in a lovely hilltop situation to the west of the Grumeti Sector, with broad views out over the surrounding plains. It consists of comfortable public areas, leading out to a large swimming pool. There is also a modest spa facility.

The Grumeti Sector tends to feature mainly in good value safaris, in combination with Serengeti Central and Serengeti Mara, where guests are happy to skip the Ngorongoro Crater. The usual stay duration is 1-3 nights.

Seasonality

This Serengeti Grumeti area tends to be best for safari during the May-Jul migration season and the overlapping Jun-Oct dry season, which happily coincide with the main dry season, when weather conditions are at their best.

During the converse Nov-Apr season this Serengeti Grumeti area tends to be of less interest, but can serve a supporting role for safaris into the more southerly areas where the migration calving and rut events are taking place.

Getting there

The majority of people visiting the Grumeti Sector do so as part of a guided overland safari, so travel to their camp and around the area in their private vehicle.
