Why Singita Sasakwa?

Views Across the Serengeti

Sasakwa’s elevated position provides uninterrupted views over the plains, distant hills and wildlife-rich landscapes of the Grumeti Reserve.

Front-Row Access

The lodge lies along the western migration route, placing guests close to dramatic wildebeest movements and Grumeti River crossings.

Far from the Crowds

Limited guest numbers and access to a vast private concession create quiet game drives and highly personalised wildlife encounters.

A Manor in the Wilderness

Edwardian architecture, antiques, African art and elegant verandas give Sasakwa a distinctive atmosphere unlike a traditional tented safari camp.
