The Serengeti Migration passes the lodge twice a year, around June-July and again in October when millions of wildebeests and zebras make their annual trek through the Serengeti eco-system. With beautiful views of the 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 and hartebeest.
Night game drives and performances by the Simba Dance Troupe will add to the experience of spectacular sunrise and sunset. At night listen to the trumpeting of elephant, the laughing hyenas and the roars of our namesake.
