Grumeti Game Reserve
The Grumeti Game Reserve or Grumeti Game Control Area is situated along the north-western border of the Serengeti National Park. Grumeti Game Reserve was gazetted in 1994. The reserve covers an area of 2,000 km2. The rains that finally came at the end of August after a long dry season continued to fall every few days in September. The reserve has same wildlife species as those found in Ikorongo Game reserve Roan and Sable antelope are rarely sighted. The reserve’s flagship is Sasakwa Lodge, an East African ranch house set on a hill with panoramic views of the Serengeti plains. Grumeti Luxury Tented Camp consists of ten individual tented suites along with a separate dining, lounge and bar area. First of all I did see all the animals that safari goers normally like to tick off on the list “elephant, leopard, cheetah, lion etc." As a consequence the Grumeti Game Reserve is a vital and unique area. It offers seclusion and exclusivity, highlighted by the annual wildebeest migration, which passes through these areas in the months of June, July and August and again in November. We are situated within a few hundred meters of the famous Grumeti River, and important local water source and forest area.
