Serengeti Simba Lodge is named after the lion (simba in Swahili) — king of the jungle, a symbol of strength, pride and royalty. We welcome you to explore, experience and enjoy the African wilderness and the amazing Serengeti as our guest at Serengeti Simba Lodge.
Harmoniously nestled into the heart of the Serengeti ecosystem, set high on the Gambasage hill overlooking the famous Grumeti River, Serengeti Simba Lodge is situated on the main path of the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. With awe-inspiring panoramic views of the vast savannah, Serengeti Simba Lodge is home to prolific birdlife and a stunning array of large game including: lion, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, elephant, bush buck, zebra, gazelle, topi and wildebeest. The vast wildebeest migration passes through our area twice a year on the annual trek through the Serengeti eco-system.

Serengeti Simba Lodge has been designed and built to blend into the surroundings; we have not unnecessarily moved a single rock or tree during construction. Our environmental policy includes:
- solar power

Serengeti Simba Lodge is committed to playing a role in improving the lives of the surrounding community, the people of the Ikoma tribe. In addition to providing vital employment opportunities, a bed night fee is paid to the local village council which helps fund development projects. We have plans to implement organic gardening projects to supply our kitchens and to assist with building projects at the local school. Our gift shop strives to stock craft and other items mostly produced in Tanzania.
