The Serengeti; one of the world’s oldest safari destinations and a place with an enormous reputation for superb wildlife sightings, magnetic culture, and mind-blowing scenery. Singita’s private Grumeti concession lies adjacent to this iconic reserve in northern Tanzania, where the annual wildebeest migration moves through a protected wildlife corridor alongside Africa’s most recognised animals. A handful of luxurious safari lodges offer unbeatable explorations of this Migration territory, creating experiences that are unforgettable through superior guiding, accommodation, and wining and dining. Here, they are. How do we choose?!
This is Singita Serengeti House; where an exclusive booking will host a family or group of 8 guests in 4 suites with an entirely personalised safari itinerary for the duration of the stay. State of the art game viewers, total privacy, incredible food and dining experiences, and wildlife encounters from the ground or above from a hot-air balloon. Safari luxury at its finest.
If you really want to get in touch with the Serengeti’s talked about Grumeti region, Singita Explore takes first prize. The beauty of this mobile camp is its uncompromised luxury and attention to detail, yet it has simple pleasures and uncomplicated style that keep the experience fresh and authentic. Fires burn to boil the kettle, canvas tents house you at night, and paraffin lamps glow gently around camp. The expert staff, classic appeal, and safari magic that represent the Singita experience embody the Explore camp as your dedicated team packs up, moves, and re-establishes the luxury campsite during the mobile safari experience.
Unspeakably glorious scenery in the Serengeti at Singita Faru Faru Lodge which overlooks a natural waterhole and the leafy Grumeti riverine. Stone and canvas come together in the 9 spacious suites, and the plains of this blissfully wild animal kingdom sprawl out before you. Natural textures and sunlight sew together the supreme Faru Faru ambience, and whether you’re soaring above the wilderness in a hot air balloon or traversing the grassland in a luxury game viewer, you’re guaranteed to be having the experience of a lifetime.
Our next Grumeti feature comes as a sublime reminder of the past. When safari excursions were journeys on horseback and tents were elegantly draped canvas containing the simple luxuries the wealthy travellers of the 20s and 30s desired. In this private corner of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, Singita Sabora Tented Camp emulates this long forgotten era through the use of colour and textile, brass and silverware, while the service received from a team of excellent staff truly refines the experience. How wonderful it would be to dine under the twinkling fairy lights, with dancing candlelight adding to the stars. Supreme luxury in 9 tented suites, sheer privacy, and unquestionable quality in this total safari experience.
Simply grand. There is no other way to put Singita Sasakwa Lodge when all we see outdoors are the vast plains of wild Grumeti and all we see inside are deluxe items of opulence and elegance. This 10-bedroomed manor is exquisitely put together with the past in mind. From the chandeliers to the wallpaper, the pelted ottomans to the claw-footed furniture, the high tea silverware to the tennis court on the lawn. Sasakwa is designed to wrap the wealth of bygone explorer years around modern-day travellers with a lust for escapism and luxury. The views of the wilderness are your own, enjoyed while you ponder the wildlife activity that must have come before you from the elevated position alongside the pool. The Singita safari experience is second to none, and each of their properties embodies an iconic personality. Sasakwa Lodge is one of the finest establishments in East Africa.
The animal kingdom, the original rulers of the earth, still parade across vast empty spaces in the wilderness of East Africa, and we’ve made it our life’s mission to see it with our own eyes and believe the majesty that it is Africa. On the western border of Serengeti National Park, Grumeti is a private concession where extended protection is given to the animals and exclusive accommodation is provided for those lucky enough to travel there. Abundant views of endless grasslands where predators and prey, birds and butterflies, beetles and beasts amble in their natural environment. Cheetahs chase, wildebeest migrate, zebras whinny, elephants sway, and eagles soar; this is the recipe for safari. Undisturbing, tranquil, light on the earth. What a wonderful slice of Africa this is.
