Grumeti River Camp - Magnificent Tanzania Lodges [Updated]

GRUMETI RIVER CAMP Grumeti River Camp : all the details. Communication: There is limited cellphone network in the camp. Guests who wish to travel with their cellphones should keep these on silent whilst in the camp and not take them on game drives at all so as not to disturb other travellers. A free Wi-Fi service is available in the camp’s main areas although the connection is quite slow. For travellers who’d like to send an email message but don’t have their own equipment, the camp’s computer can be used on request. Ideal length of Stay: We recommend a 2- or 3-night stay at Grumeti River Camp allowing you to get to know your safari guide and really explore the area. Grumeti combines well with its sister camps: the lovely Klein’s Camp, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge which is one of only two lodges within Lake Manyara National Park, and the luxurious Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. Special interests: Over 360 bird species have been recorded in the Serengeti’s western corridor; six are endemic to the Serengeti Plains. These include the black-headed gonolek with its striking crimson breast; the silverbird, an elegant flycatcher; the Karamoja apalis, a small warbler; Fischer’s lovebird which pairs for life and flies in colourful flocks; the grey-breasted spurfowl; the eastern grey plantain-eater, a raucous member of the turaco family; and the white-headed vulture. Health and Safety: There is a doctor and small clinic on site. For any serious medical emergencies, the camp is in contact with the flying doctor services. Guests are escorted to their rooms after dark just in case of visiting wildlife. Child policy:  Children are welcome at Grumeti River Camp. An additional single bed can be added to the tented rooms to create a triple room for two adults and one child.  Location: Most guests fly in to Grumeti Airstrip which is a flight of about 1 hour 45 minutes from Arusha. The airstrip is situated about five minutes’ drive from the camp. It’s worth noting that the close proximity of the airstrip does mean that during the late morning and over lunchtime the occasional plane can be heard flying over the camp, momentarily disturbing the peace. Food: The meals served at Grumeti River Camp are of a very high quality, enhanced by the use of fresh produce wherever possible. The camp have set up a partnership with villagers around Lake Victoria whereby they provide local farmers with seeds to plant and then buy back some of the produce at a good rate. Most drinks are included whilst at Grumeti River Camp. A few select ‘top- shelf’ beverages such as French champagne and the best single malts can be requested for an additional cost. Extras: 10 tents From 1 May to 31 March Each tent has a small safe for valuables.              This page has the Grumeti River Camp description and  Grumeti River Camp location
