Overview
Contemporary chic
Set in 140,000 hectares of protected wilderness in Singita Grumeti, Sabora is a contemporary take on the under-canvas luxury safari, with fabulously chic tents and a front-row seat to some of the very best wildlife viewing in Africa.
Surrounded by Serengeti plains, nine self-contained suites include private gourmet pantries, dining and fitness areas, as well as meditation decks and outdoor salas with secluded daybeds overlooking one of Sabora’s two waterholes.
The pared-back interpretation of traditional safari style continues in the dining and library tents, each featuring the work of local artisans feature throughout. Sabora’s pool is a particular highlight.

Community visits

Community & Culture
The Grumeti Fund is a non-profit organization with profits put back into conservation and education for the local people who live on the edge of the reserve. While staying here, you have the opportunity to visit local communities and cultural and heritage sites, and the team at Singita Sasakwa ensures you’re able to do so in a respectful and appropriate manner. Boma dinners feature local dancers and choirs allowing you to experience the rich culture of the region. You’ll also find this culture reflected in the design and décor of Sasakwa. They also employ more than half of their staff from the neighbouring villages.
Conservation
The Grumeti Fund also manages anti-poaching teams, alien plant control, game census and reintroduction and research through the RISE environmental research facility.
Footprint
A significant number of single use plastics have already been eliminated and Singita is working to reduce non-recyclable plastic packaging even further. The short term goal is to be able to offer guests the option of offsetting their carbon emissions during their stay. They are also a One Planet Community member.
