Singita Sasakwa Lodge

The lodge features 10 cottages, including six 1-Bedroom cottages, two 2-Bedroom cottages, one 3-Bedroom cottage, and one 4-Bedroom cottage. The only difference between the cottages is the number of bedrooms and thus the size of the cottage. All are equipped with a spacious terrace with seating and a garden with sunbeds and an infinity plunge pool. There is no TV in the cottages, but Wi-Fi is available, although the signal may not always be strong. Additionally, the master bedroom has access to a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, separate shower, double sink, and separate toilet. In the cottages with multiple bedrooms, all bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom.

With the all-inclusive concept, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, as well as all drinks. This includes non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, including premium wines, spirits, and liqueurs. Only French champagne is not included. Furthermore, there are two game drives per day in the Grumeti Game Reserve, as well as any guided walking safaris, laundry service, and transfers to and from the Sasakwa airstrip. Park fees, tourist taxes, and game drives in the Serengeti itself are not included.

Besides the cottages, there is also the 1-Bedroom Hillside Suite. This is situated high on the hill, separate from the other cottages and the lodge, with its own private access for even more privacy. Here, you are surrounded only by nature and all the comforts of your suite. The suite is spacious and spread over two floors, featuring two large outdoor terraces and a lovely infinity pool. On the ground floor, there is the bedroom with a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, separate shower, double sink, and toilet. The living room and a second terrace are located on the upper floor. Here, you can enjoy romantic dining in the privacy of your own suite. Staying in the Hillside Suite includes your own butler service and a private safari vehicle.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are enjoyed in the lodge's garden, delightfully outdoors with the Serengeti plains as the backdrop. Throughout the day, you can order your drinks at the bar.

Although each cottage has its own plunge pool, the lodge also features a large infinity pool with the same fantastic view over the Serengeti.

In the lodge's spa, you can choose from a variety of relaxing massages. You can also opt for a massage in the privacy of your own cottage.

You can start or end your day actively in the lodge's fitness room. But of course, you come to this region for the game drive. You will certainly not get bored here. If you have more time, there are plenty of other fun additional activities to enjoy. If your schedule allows, definitely consider booking a walking safari (available from age 16 and up). Not only is it a completely different experience than a game drive, but it is also not possible or permitted everywhere. You can also visit a local village with a guide, allowing you to learn more about Tanzanian culture and the positive impact of tourism on the region. For young children, a variety of activities are organized, such as mini-cooking workshops, a mini-rangers lesson, bird watching, and more.

Good to know

The Grumeti Reserve is often called the hidden gem of the Serengeti because it is located on the beautiful, remote, and secluded western side. Due to its remoteness and the limited number of luxury, small-scale lodges, there are few other guests, making a safari here an exclusive experience. Also unique: since Grumeti is a separate reserve, safari walking excursions are permitted here.

This lodge is located in the Grumeti Game Reserve, directly adjacent to the Serengeti National Park. In 1994, the government established this reserve to protect the route of the annual Great Migration. In 2002, the owners of the Singita lodges took over the management of this land, which had been heavily damaged by hunting and poaching. They have invested a significant amount of money, time, and effort to restore both the natural environment and the wildlife. They are even currently working to reintroduce rhinoceroses. The area is also renowned for the large groups of lions that live here together.

To manage the Grumeti Game Reserve as effectively as possible, the lodge owners established the Singita Grumeti Fund. They have, among other initiatives, a team of 120 rangers dedicated to preventing hunting and poaching in the reserve. As a guest, you have the opportunity to visit one of the watchtowers and learn more about this important work. The fund runs various projects to protect the nature and the animals.
