Serengeti Simba Lodge

Set high upon the Gambasage Hill in the Serengeti National Park’s Ikona Wildlife Management area, the Serengeti Simba Lodge boasts unbeatable views over a vibrant savanna. Glass meets stone meets wood which is all highlighted as the main lodge lights up at night, shining out onto the glistening swimming pool in front. Elegance runs throughout the lodge with individual tables set up in the dining hall with overlays depicting local art and polished wooden chairs. There is a small, comfortable lounge and a friendly bar area.

Meals can be served both indoors and outdoors with settings under large trees ideal for a unique dining experience surrounded by pure wilderness. Guests can browse the local gift shop for that ideal souvenir and simply relax on their private verandah taking in the sights and sounds of the wilderness around them.
