Why choose Singita
- Vast private reserves: in Tanzania, Singita’s lodges share the 350,000-acre Grumeti Reserve on the western Serengeti migration route with very few other guests.
- Exceptional guiding with off-road driving, night drives, walking safaris and horseback riding in the Grumeti.
- Conservation at the core: a 100-year purpose to preserve African wilderness, with anti-poaching and community programmes funded by every stay.
- Food and wine that rival top city restaurants, including renowned wine cellars at Sasakwa and Boulders.
