Collection of three exclusive lodges in western Serengeti offering unparalleled luxury and privacy. Located on the Great Migration route with exceptional game viewing, gourmet dining, and personalized service.
Singita Grumeti encompasses a 350,000-acre private wildlife concession in the far west of the Serengeti ecosystem, along the northern bank of the Grumeti River. The reserve sits directly on the route the wildebeest traverse between June and July during the northward leg of the Great Migration, and the Grumeti River itself hosts one of the densest concentrations of Nile crocodiles in Africa. Three distinct camps — Sabora Tented Camp, Faru Faru River Lodge, and Explore — each offer a different aesthetic and scale while sharing the same exclusive concession, meaning guests encounter no other tourist vehicles during game drives.
Sabora Tented Camp evokes 1920s colonial safari style with Persian rugs, teak furniture, and hand-painted canvas interiors. Faru Faru River Lodge takes a sleek, contemporary approach with low-slung architecture, stone infinity pools, and sweeping river views. Singita Explore operates as an ultra-mobile camp of four tents designed for tracking lions and leopards on foot. All accommodations are fully all-inclusive, covering game drives, guided walks, night drives, bush meals, premium wines, and all spirits. The private concession status permits off-road vehicle tracking, night game drives, and walking safaris — activities prohibited in the public park zones. An acclaimed wine cellar curated by a dedicated sommelier and a gourmet kitchen team set a notably high culinary standard across the property. Conservation levies collected by Singita fund anti-poaching operations across the broader ecosystem, adding a clear conservation dimension to the guest experience.
