Staff and Guides at Grumeti

True African hospitality lies at the core of &Beyond's lodges and camps throughout the continent. The people of Africa, with their warm and welcoming nature, and the ability to draw guests into their hearts, inspire, educate and delight our guests every day.

Staff with a passion for guest delight at Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp

A shared passion for guest delight unites all &Beyonders across Africa. For the staff members at Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp, there is no better way to spend the day than in making our guests' safari dreams come true. Our chefs, butlers, housekeepers, security and workshop staff are trained with the same dedication as our field staff, but their pleasure in sharing your special moments is something that cannot be taught. They are the magic ingredient at Grumeti and their commitment to creating moments that take our guests' breath away is genuine.

Guest delight at Ngala Private Game Reserve

&Beyond is renowned for having some of the most highly trained, professional, passionate and knowledgeable guides on the continent. They have a passion for people and wildlife, ensuring unbeatable interpretive safari experiences. The guides at Grumeti impart an incomparable wealth of knowledge, personally researched and experienced, about the habitats, ecology, birds, trees, plants, small animals and insects of the Serengeti. Many of our guides belong to the surrounding communities and can share cultural information with our guests.

&Beyond runs two full-time ranger training schools headed by professional ranger trainers in Africa - at Phinda in South Africa and Klein's Camp in Tanzania. Each guide at Grumeti undergoes a rigorous eight-week training course at one of these schools before joining their team. They then receive further on-site training and benefit immensely from their colleagues' ongoing mentorship. It is through their passion for what they do, and their desire to develop and learn that &Beyond's guides are among the finest in the world.
