Singita at a glance

One of the pinnacles of Tanzanian wild-luxury — and the rare chance to stay in two extremes of beauty on one trip: Sasakwa is a colonial manor on a hilltop — a grand house, fireplaces, four-poster beds, full of stature; Mara River is a contemporary-design tented camp on the riverbank — bright, airy, artful. One classic and grand, one modern wild-luxury — no need to choose.

Is it right for you?

A good fit

Honeymoons, anniversaries and families with the budget who want top-tier privacy and service; guests who want to stay in real style without missing the crossing spectacle.

Less of a fit

Families with children under 10; budget-sensitive guests; travellers who want pared-back simplicity and don’t care for luxury trappings.

For both, we have better alternatives — just ask your consultant.

What a stay looks like

Grumeti Private Reserve · Western Serengeti

Singita Sasakwa

A hilltop, manor-style flagship — almost the entire Grumeti private reserve nearly to yourself.

Sasakwa suite · four-poster bed and fireplace — A colonial manor-style suite — a four-poster bed, a fireplace, and the Grumeti plains right beyond the windows.

Infinity pool · clifftop terrace — An infinity pool reaching out over the cliff — sink in with a book for an afternoon, a whole plain at your feet.

Game drive · herds of elephant — Out on a drive in the private reserve, herds of elephant pass by — few vehicles, few people, almost exclusive-use privacy.

Hilltop tennis court — Play the tennis match with the best view there is — just past the lines lie the Serengeti plains.

Lamai · Northern Serengeti

Singita Mara River

A contemporary-design tented camp on the Mara River — front-row seats for the crossing season.

Tented common area · lounge — The common area is bright, contemporary design — African art and handwoven textiles, so comfortable it hardly feels like the bush.

Tented room · river view — The rooms are bright and open — from the bed or the deck, the Mara River is right there.

Camp · river view — The camp sits right on the Mara River — step out of your tent to the river and the plains.

Mara River crossing — The headline act — tens of thousands of wildebeest plunging into the Mara River. Dust, spray, life and death. Only this July–October window, once a year.

When to come: June–October

This is Tanzania’s most reliable game-viewing season — and exactly why we pair these two camps:

Northern Singita Mara River: right on the river-crossing season.

From July to October the wildebeest armies reach Lamai, massing at the river and plunging into the rapids. It is the most spectacular scene in safari — only this one window each year.

Western Singita Sasakwa (Grumeti): a private reserve dense with wildlife year-round.

Around June the migration often moves through the western Grumeti area, right on Sasakwa’s doorstep; and through the June–October dry season the game gathers around the water, so lion, leopard and elephant put on a show daily — all across a reserve with few vehicles and few people, nearly to yourself. Spectacular even without the northern crossing.

First enjoy the exclusive-use privacy and flagship stature at Grumeti, then head north to the Mara River for the crossing climax.

Suggested package: 5 nights

Singita Sasakwa3 nights
Singita Mara River2 nights

Sasakwa is Singita’s flagship — worth staying longer: 3 nights to experience the manor’s stature, the private reserve and all the amenities in full; then 2 nights north, focused on the great Mara River crossing.

All meals and some drinks included, daily game drives, and the 3 light-aircraft legs (Arusha → Western Serengeti / Grumeti → Northern Serengeti / Lamai → Arusha), and more (per quote).

The price already includes the fully-inclusive 5-night package.
