Singita’s lodges and camps and Singita’s anti-poaching unit were born at the same time—poaching was a serious problem on Singita Grumeti Reserve, and it had to be curbed. Today, the poaching unit consists of 112 scouts in the field, and poaching is virtually unknown. This means that endangered and vulnerable species like leopard, cheetah, rhino and elephant can roam free and rest easy. This also means year-round, excellent game-viewing for travellers here, and the income from said travellers will ultimately ensure the long-term sustainability of the reserve and its magnificent game. That’s a symbiotic relationship that we just can’t get enough of!
Sharing its border with the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, Grumeti Reserves encompasses 400,000 acres of unrivalled, pristine wilderness. Being on the famous and dramatic migratory route, the reserve is annually a witness to one of the greatest natural wonders on earth—the Great Migration! Committed to high standards of luxury safari living with discerning attention to detail, the reserve runs two luxurious lodges and one tented camp, each offering a distinctive and exceptional safari experience.
Singita keeps three hostelries, each rivaled only by the other two, so that choosing between them becomes a delightful dilemma:
The nine cottages at Sasakwa Lodge were each built in the style of an Edwardian manor house, with stone walls, deep verandas, high ceilings, stately furniture, and silver and crystal ornamental pieces giving the place a homey feel. Each cottage also has a private infinity pool on the veranda, so you can swim high above the plains and watch the animals cavort below. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated in the fashion of the safari-goers in the early 1900s: dark wood and leather furniture complement the landscape, along with crisp linens, imported chandeliers and hand-crafted furniture.
Nine tented suites cultivate a soothing synthesis of vintage safari glamour and modern sophistication. Dressed in rich linens and fawn shades, each suite is furnished with a spacious bedroom, elegant lounge, a pantry and dining area, and a personal fitness area. (Catering to all energies, there’s also a fully kitted-out gym in the main lodge and a library curated for leisurely book-worming.) Shaded daybeds overlook a thirst-quenching watering hole, a favoured haunt of the local Maasai giraffes and elephants. Naturally, there’s a menu of magnificent multicourse feasts you’ll want to tell the folks back home about.
Built on a gently sloping hill, this lodge overlooks a waterhole and the Grumeti River. Each of the eight air-conditioned suites features a picture window and deck, with your own spotting scope from which you can peruse the rugged landscape, while at the same time enjoying the luxurious comfort of your suite—decorated with contemporary, barefoot elegance. In addition, the Swahili-inspired “beach” offers an opportunity for some serious rest and relaxation.
At Sasakwa and Faru-Faru, children of all ages are welcome. At Sabora, children over the age of 10 are welcome.
Morning and late-afternoon game drives feature our firm safari favourites, from the bat-eared fox to the Big Five. For those inclined to explore on foot, guided nature walks offer intimate communion with the land. Float over the serene Serengeti on an optional hot-air balloon jaunt, or make an evening of it on a stargazing safari under velvet African skies. Back at camp, there’s never the wrong moment to sip a cool drink in the heated swimming pool, or enjoy a locally inspired treatment at the spa. Your ever-helpful Micato Tour Director will eagerly fix up a behind-the-scenes visit to the Grumeti Fund Environmental Education Centre, gaining insight into the area’s pioneering conservation mission.
