Sasakwa is the flagship of Singita’s Grumeti Reserve — a vast private concession along the migration’s western corridor, run in partnership with the Grumeti Fund’s celebrated conservation and anti-poaching work. From the lodge’s hilltop lawns the plains run unbroken to the horizon, and in June and July the migration’s columns pass through the valley below.
The lodge itself is pure Edwardian romance — cottages with fireplaces and infinity pools, a wine cellar, tennis, stables and archery — backed by guiding that is among the best in Africa. If you want the Serengeti at its most exclusive, this is it.
The Grumeti’s grand manor house — we book it when a milestone trip deserves the full Singita polish and a hilltop view over the migration corridor.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around the lodge is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the lodge doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a lodge can only sell you its own beds; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at the airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps between lodges become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know the Grumeti’s season inside out — when the migration actually moves through the corridor, which months the reserve feels quiet, and how Sasakwa compares with Singita’s other Grumeti lodges — so you book the right property for the right week.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The lodge looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
Epic luxury safaris and just magical. I was referred by a friend in the USA — Evance customized our trip beautifully, the accommodation was first class and our guide so professional. Will definitely be back.
The Grumeti Reserve is the Serengeti’s great private corridor — exclusive traversing, superb game density and almost no vehicles.
In roughly June and July the herds funnel through the Grumeti valley below the lodge — river crossings without the northern crowds.
Your stay funds the Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching and community programs — one of the most effective conservation partnerships in East Africa.
Hilltop cottages with fireplaces and private pools, a wine cellar, tennis, stables, archery and a full spa.
Singita’s guide team is consistently rated among Africa’s best — worth it for first-timers and connoisseurs alike.
Big birthdays, anniversaries and once-in-a-lifetime safaris — this is the address people remember.
The western corridor season, when the herds cross the Grumeti below the lodge.
Cottages, lawns, tennis, riding and archery give active families room that tented camps cannot.
All the wildness of the Serengeti with none of its rough edges — the gentlest introduction to the bush at the highest standard.
June–July for the migration’s western passage; the reserve’s resident game is strong year-round outside the April–May rains.
3–4 nights — the reserve is vast, and the lodge itself deserves a slow day.
Works as the luxurious heart of a Serengeti circuit, paired with the crater and a mobile camp in the north or south by season.
