A low impact, sustainable solution for the luxury traveller.

Managing over half a million acres of pristine African land and responsible for successful community development projects, Singita is committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of the people living and working in and around its lodges as well as its guests.

Offering several lodges and camps in Tanzania , each a unique experience in its own right, there is no finer way to enjoy the wonder of an East African safari. With so many great lodges to choose from, it’s important to decide exactly what kind of a safari you want to experience.

The first lodge located in the Singita Grumeti reserve is the luxurious Singita Sasakwa Lodge. Visitors to this magnificent lodge will enjoy a spectacular, elevated setting overlooking the Serengeti plains, situated right along the world-famous wildebeest migratory route. Built in the colonial style of an Edwardian Manor House, with nine exquisitely styled, spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom cottages, and a four-bedroom villa the lodge is equipped with every mod-con and offers amazing views across land that ‘stretches to forever’.

For those who prefer a more adventurous experience, the Singita Sabora tented camp transports you back in time into a 1920’s style explorer’s camp. Situated amid the wild, expansive plains of the world renowned Serengeti, the camp dishes up abundant doses of romance, exploration and intrigue. Nine 1920’s-styled tented suites offer private bathrooms, open-air showers and viewing decks, ensuring that you’re never far from the incredible wildlife of the region. Even when you’re sipping sundowners on the deck and gazing over the waterhole, or simply relaxing on a shaded daybed overlooking the plains.  The Chefs at Singita Sabora delight in serving delicious feasts -using locally grown organic produce, coupled with vintage wines – in surprise settings. You might enjoy your meal beneath a lamp-lit acacia one night and under the boughs of a large ‘Sausage’ tree the next, as the African starlight shines down on you.

A slightly more unconventional and contemporary option for travellers would be the Singita Faru Faru Lodge. Inspired by a botanical theme, this beautiful destination offers a unique and refreshing African safari experience and is perfectly situated on the epic migratory route in Tanzania’s Singita Grumeti.  Eight stylish stone and canvas suites and a sumptuous two-bedroom villa suite offer spectacular indoor and outdoor bathrooms, breathtaking game viewing afforded through floor-to-ceiling picture windows and a bold sense of style. Guests can enjoy world-class dining in an open dining venue, the comfortable bar lounge or beside the camp fire of an outdoor barbeque area as well as game sightings from elevated viewing decks overlooking the waterhole and a Swahili-inspired beach with two rim-flow swimming pools.

Finally, for those who want who want to connect with the earth and wildlife in a very up-close and personal way, as they never have before, Singita offers the Singita Explore Mobile Tented Camp. This private mobile safari meets global trends and the demand from discerning travellers for ‘privacy, exclusivity and closeness to nature’. Custom designed by Cécile & Boyd’s around a theme that is contemporary, robust and stylish,  the camp touches the earth lightly, and is pitched in various remote locations across 350,000 private acres of Singita Grumeti in northern Tanzania, ensuring that, particularly during the Great Wildebeest Migration, guests will be as close as possible to where the action is. This unique, modern African safari experience offers guests a journey of exploration into some of the continent’s most remote wilderness sites. Itineraries at the camp are individually tailored according to guests’ personal interests and preferred safari activities as the camp is set up in different locations according to the cycles of nature and wildlife movements.
