"Amazing don't actually capture how wonderfully this place is. My room was very spacious and clean. It had all the amenities you will find on a luxurious hotel in a big city. The lodge is perched on a hillside overlooking a huge and gorgeous valley. I can lounge on my patio seats all day looking at the valley. Breakfast needs a bit of improvement, but lunch and dinner offerings were quite delicious. Those guys will feed you to death if you let them. I definitely recommends this wonderfully...

"The location of the hotel listed on Hotels.com is incorrect. Since there are no signs indicating the hotel’s direction from the road, it would have been impossible to find it on our own. Thankfully, the rangers escorted us, and we were able to locate it. The Wi-Fi is not working. That said, the staff is excellent—always kind and helpful. The food is delicious, and the lunch box service is especially valuable when heading out on a game drive."

"This is an amazing property built in the late 60's. Very rustic and built into a rock mountain with fantastic views over the Northern Serengeti. You must appreciate rustic and that not always will you have power and hot water, it is very very remote and difficult to get to. I'm an adventurer and this was my favorite of all the places we stayed, but not for everyone. It could use some maintenance, but overall the food was great and is a one of a kind accommodation.

This is not for the faint hearted or light sleeper. There are delightful animal noises at night. Baboons come into the camp at dusk. You need an escort to the dining tent after dark (easily arranged by telephone). I had a buffalo outside my tent one night. I never felt unsafe though. I would strongly recommend to...

Once we entered the room the temperature was well over 90F/32C. There is no fan in the room. There are two small windows in the rear, however there is no screen to keep the bugs out.

Anantya Serengeti

Anantya Serengeti

10/10 Excellent
"Anantya Serengeti is set in a truly unique and privileged location in the heart of the Serengeti, offering an unforgettable, fully immersive experience where wildlife can be seen right around you during your stay. It felt like stepping into nature in the most extraordinary way. The cabin was absolutely beautiful—spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable, with everything you could need and more. It easily matches or surpasses many luxury hotels in comfort and design. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, making it feel both cozy and high-end at the same time. The dining experience was exceptional. Every meal—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—was of outstanding quality, comparable to a fine dining restaurant. Each dish was well prepared, fresh, and consistently delicious. What truly made this stay unforgettable was the service. From arrival to departure, everything was handled with genuine care and attention. Every staff member was warm and professional, but Paulo truly stood out. He personally took care of everything during our stay—welcoming us, assisting with our laundry, serving as our bartender and waiter, and even coordinating our movements to and from the cabin with the Maasai. His level of dedication and kindness was beyond exceptional, and he made us feel completely cared for at all times. Any company would be lucky to have someone like him. Overall, the experience was magical!"

When is the best time to go to Serengeti?
The best time to go to the Serengeti is during the dry season, from June to October, or the green season, from January to March, depending on your priorities.

The dry season, from June to October, is ideal for witnessing the Great Migration's river crossings, particularly in the northern reaches of the park along the Mara River. During this period, wildlife congregates around permanent water sources, making animals easier to spot. This time of year is excellent for travelers focused on seeing large herds and predator-prey interactions.

For those interested in seeing newborn animals and lush landscapes, the green season, from January to March, is a superb choice. This is when the wildebeest calving season occurs in the southern Serengeti, creating a spectacle of new life and attracting predators. The scenery is verdant, and while there might be occasional short rains, they typically don't disrupt safari activities.
