The Serengeti in Tanzania is widely regarded as the ultimate destination for wildlife enthusiasts, evoking the Africa that Hemingway imagined when he wrote, “I loved this country and I felt at home; and where a man feels at home, outside of where he’s born, is where he’s meant to go.”
The Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti captures this essence perfectly, providing an unmatched experience amidst the plains, rocky outcrops, and the rich diversity of wildlife. Located in the southern, slightly more arid part of the sprawling Serengeti-Maasai Mara ecosystem, roughly the size of New Hampshire, the Serengeti is often seen as the quintessential African safari location. Its vast expanses, seemingly endless skies, golden landscapes, and ancient serenity enchant visitors. As Elspeth Huxley noted, one might observe a “graceful giraffe, like a tiger lily bending elegantly in the wind,” highlighting the park’s majestic scale and delicate moments of beauty.

Amenities & in-Room Amenities at Four Seasons Safari Lodge
Our Bush2 City Adventure guide has a profound connection to Tanzania’s Serengeti, and private game drives with him are truly enlightening. This is the Africa of our dreams—a paradise bathed in light and air in their most exceptional forms.
You’ll witness elephants moving as if they have an appointment at the end of the world. Early morning game drives in the cool equatorial air provide opportunities to observe lions as they prepare for their day. It’s awe-inspiring to be close to such powerful creatures, watching them search for prey. Their intense gaze passes right through our vehicles, as if we were mere clouds. Hippos splash in muddy pools, and mile-long streams of wildebeest follow their migratory routes. Over everything is the high, bright sky, foaming with enormous pink, cream-colored, and slate-blue clouds. They are so incandescent that they look as if they have fires inside. These dramatic African clouds appear as though you could scoop them up with a spoon.
The Four Seasons takes pride in showcasing the Serengeti in all its glory—culturally through respectful and enriching visits with the local Maasai, and soulfully through expansive game drives and explorations. Together with our Bush2 City Adventure Safari guide and your inspirations, inclinations, and enthusiasm, we aim to provide a comprehensive and unforgettable experience in the wondrous Serengeti.
