Wildlife & Spa Resort of the Week🐒🦜🐘🐆: Singita Sasakwa Lodge in Grumeti, Tanzania
Set in the 350,000-acre private Singita Grumeti Reserve, guests have exclusive access and a front-row seat to the area’s prolific wildlife, including the world-renowned Great Migration.
The experience makes for an unparalleled East African safari, complete with leisure activities that include bush walks, soothing wellness treatments and tennis.
Old-world splendour meets casual refinement. Built in the style of a stately Edwardian manor house and featuring a light and airy atmosphere, Singita Sasakwa Lodge offers panoramic views, a sense of immense freedom, and stillness.
A sense of grandeur is woven throughout the turn-of-the-century manor house and private cottages through a blend of authentic European style and East African influences.
Striking the perfect balance between casual luxury and sophisticated elegance, it features a grand entrance, wraparound verandas, silver candelabras and coveted antiques, as well as bespoke décor elements such as local artefacts and tribal cushions.
Unrivalled savannah views. Offering expansive en-suite bathrooms, dressing areas, fireplaces, living rooms and French doors opening onto welcoming verandas, the elegant cottages feature polished parquet floors, vintage collectables and comfortable furnishings – and provide guests with complete privacy, as well as unfiltered space and time to connect with the breathtaking surrounds.
At Singita, our enduring purpose to restore the land and its wildlife extends to offering healing experiences to our guests at every touchpoint. The dedicated treatments in our massage spaces tap into the profound benefits of indigenous wisdoms and essential oils that relax, replenish and revive. Each tailor-made therapy can be customised and timed to preference, ensuring a completely personalised experience.
Fully equipped fitness centres are available for guests’ convenience. Each facility provides picturesque views of the bush, allowing you to keep an eye on the action outside while you work out.
Every creature comfort is taken care of with these well-considered amenities and services:
- Singita Boutique & Gallery.

Al fresco lunches on the lawns and magical starlit dinners in the courtyard add to the appeal.
