Sasakwa Lodge in the Serengeti

If it’s solitude you seek, then Singita Grumeti Reserves is the place to be. Singita Sasakwa Lodge is one of three Singita lodges in this 340 000 acre private concession, which means that guests have this wild stretch of Africa all to themselves. At any given time, there will be only 52 guests staying in all three Singita lodges combined. The six cottages each feature either one, two or three bedrooms and the villa has four bedrooms. Each cottage has a private infinity-edge pool overlooking the sun-kissed Serengeti plains. The bedrooms with inviting four-posters are beautifully appointed, displaying typical African influences with touches of wood, leather and grass, alongside crisp linens, imported chandeliers and exotic furniture.

Accommodation comprises six luxurious cottages and a villa. At any one time Sasakwa can accommodate a total of 28 guests. Cottage configuration: 3 x 1 bedroom, 2 x 2 bedrooms, 1 x 3 bedrooms, 1 x 4 bedrooms (villa). The Villa (4 bedrooms) contains a basement nanny flat, which has two twin bedrooms, both en-suite. Each air-conditioned cottage features a bedroom, en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, lounge with fireplace, dressing area, a guest toilet, veranda with a Swarovski spotting scope and a heated infinity plunge pool.

Singita Grumeti Reserves forms part of the world-famous migratory route. The Great Migration traditionally moves through Grumeti Reserves between June and August. However, there is an abundance of wildlife year-round. The Serengeti, which is Africa’s No. 1 World Heritage Site, is also home to 25 species of large carnivores, 40 herbivore species and over 600 types of bird – including five endemic species, with an impressively large number of raptors that form the highest concentration on the continent. This is also where you’ll find a wide range of primates, such as the rare Patas and Colobus monkeys and prolific plant life and species.
