Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti (previously managed as Kempinski Bilila Lodge) is built on an outcrop of three-million-year-old rocks above the vast landscape overlooking the rolling plains of the Central Serengeti, acclaimed as Africa's most outstanding game park. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering almost 15,000 square kilometres. It is home to an immense range of fascinating wildlife including larger mammals of over 70 species.



More than 500 birds make it a favorite African tour destination for bird-loving "twitchers", whilst photographers are drawn to the Great Migration in which millions of wildebeest and zebra, hunted by thousands of would-be predators from lions and cheetahs to giant crocodiles, make their dramatic annual trek to and from the Masai Mara in Kenya every year. Security fencing and the local knowledge of experienced Maasai guides ensure your safety in proximity to wildlife on your Africa safari.

You may see them all, including the Big Five: the game rated most dangerous by Edwardian hunters; elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino. Here, you can enjoy the best of luxurious and relaxed Africa holidays while watching elephants and many other animals at their water holes from the elevated comfort and safety of wooden walkways, indoor rooms, decks, infinity pools or your own private bath.
