Out of this World

Singita Grumeti Reserves Tanzania

“Out of Africa” style luxury in a sustainable conservation environment With around 350,000 acres of private reserve, this concession area buffering the famous Serengeti in Northern Tanzania is an impressive sustainable tourism initiative committed to the support of local communities and to wildlife conservation. The addition of three exceptionally appointed colonial lodges and a personal guide for the duration of the stay make this a must destination for the true luxury safari lover with a conscience.

Sasakwa Lodge overlooks the Serengeti and is designed in the style of an East Africa manor house.

All year. The Great Migration occurs between June-August Two wet seasons fall between February–May, and October–December, excellent for game viewing. March is traditionally the warmest month with coolest periods being July and August

Design style

Each of the three lodges offers an inimitable style. Sasakwa Lodge is perched on a dramatic hill overlooking the Serengeti, designed in the style of an East African ranch house. Set on the grand plains, Sabora Camp harks back to campaign days, with pure 1920s atmosphere. Faru Faru Lodge is a classic East African Safari camp with Zanzibari-Arab influences, located in a discreet riverine valley near the Grumeti River
