ABOUT LABA LABA

Following in the careful footsteps of historic pioneers who made it possible to share the unforgettable experience of an African safari with the creation of national parks and game reserves at the end of the 19th century, LABA LABA offers guests effortless luxury in the modern concept of ‘slow safari’ at the lesser discovered nature reserves of Tanzania and their exclusive island retreat. LABA LABA means butterfly in Yoruba, their role to increase biodiversity in the African landscape and fauna, treasured and safeguarded in each tailor-made safari experience.

ABOUT LABA GRUMETI Art Lodge

The newest addition to the Laba Laba collection had to be innovative and live up to the exceptional site, isolated on the top of a hill overlooking the expanse of the Serengeti yet just 35 minutes from the Grumeti airstrip. Inspired by South African artist ZiziPho Poswa's work, which beautifully blends modern aesthetics with traditional spirit of African, Laba Grumeti Art Lodge reimagines the safari experience through an artistic lens. The lodge showcases 46 pieces by ten acclaimed African artists from South Africa, Kenya, Ivory Coast, and Ethiopia. Creating a unique sanctuary where art meets wilderness, the pioneering concept at Laba Grumeti Art Lodge marries contemporary African expression with the natural masterpiece of the Serengeti. There are 12 luxury tented suites decorated in natural hues and a spacious indoor and outdoor lounge and bar with unhindered views of the bush.  Laba Laba signature dishes from organic produce tantalise guests, served on the covered veranda or under the stars. Fitness facilities of a Technogym and infinity lap pool keep guests active and the Spa delivers a menu of wellness treatments for pure relaxation.

ABOUT Serengeti NATIONAL PARK

The Serengeti Park is a magnet for the 1,600,000 wildebeest who take refuge in Kenya during the dry season. They return in long procession with the rains, in search of fresh grass. This annual migration is the park's most striking natural phenomenon and can be seen in different parts of the park depending on the season. The park is also home to the Big Five as well as hyena, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, birds of prey and many other species. This profusion of animals has generated ecotourism which Tanzania is carefully guarding through protection policies.

Activities & SAFARI EXPERIENCES

Choose from two safari activities each day, whether a 4x4 Safari Experience with private personal guide visiting a wide range of local landscapes and wildlife or a Walking Safari to follow wild animal footprints, fully immersing in the surrounding nature. A private day-long game drive with picnic lunch takes guests deep into the bush with a dedicated guide travelling in a mythical old Land Rover, rebuilt to bring a touch of vintage charm to safari. They are powered by three types of energy: diesel to start the engine in cold weather, ethanol for everyday driving and electric, being green, silent and respectful of wildlife so abundant in this region. This is a world first for safari vehicles. Guests can also  glide over the bush in an exhilarating hot-air balloon safari at additional cost.

Accommodation

Tented accommodation is part of the safari experience. At Laba Grumeti Art Lodge, there are eleven luxury tended suites of 113sqm with extensive indoor lounge and outside terrace and one luxury family tent of 200sqm with 2 bedrooms.
