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.

A note from the founders

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.

The honest pitch

Why book Singita Sasakwa Lodge through NndeeAfrika

You never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around the lodge is handled.

01

A better rate, more safari

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.

02

Door-to-door, no gaps

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.

03

We know this lodge personally

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.

04

One call if anything changes

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.

What makes it special

Highlights of Singita Sasakwa Lodge

01

350,000 acres, a handful of lodges

The Grumeti Reserve is the Serengeti’s great private corridor — exclusive traversing, superb game density and almost no vehicles.

02

The migration’s western passage

In roughly June and July the herds funnel through the Grumeti valley below the lodge — river crossings without the northern crowds.

03

A working conservation story

Your stay funds the Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching and community programs — one of the most effective conservation partnerships in East Africa.

04

The grandest lodge in the Serengeti

Hilltop cottages with fireplaces and private pools, a wine cellar, tennis, stables, archery and a full spa.

05

Guiding at the top of the craft

Singita’s guide team is consistently rated among Africa’s best — worth it for first-timers and connoisseurs alike.

Who it suits

Singita Sasakwa Lodge is best for

Milestone trips

Big birthdays, anniversaries and once-in-a-lifetime safaris — this is the address people remember.

June–July migration

The western corridor season, when the herds cross the Grumeti below the lodge.

Families with space to fill

Cottages, lawns, tennis, riding and archery give active families room that tented camps cannot.

Comfort-first travelers

All the wildness of the Serengeti with none of its rough edges — the gentlest introduction to the bush at the highest standard.

Best time to go

June–July for the migration’s western passage; the reserve’s resident game is strong year-round outside the April–May rains.

How many nights

3–4 nights — the reserve is vast, and the lodge itself deserves a slow day.

Where it fits

Works as the luxurious heart of a Serengeti circuit, paired with the crater and a mobile camp in the north or south by season.

Singita Sasakwa Lodge FAQs

No — through NndeeAfrika you pay the same rate or better, never more. As a trade partner we access rates and seasonal offers not always published, and we also arrange your flights, private transfers and the rest of your itinerary, remaining your single point of contact throughout.

Typically June and July, as the herds move north through the western corridor and cross the Grumeti River. Timing varies with the rains each year — we track it season by season and will place you honestly for your dates.

Three to four nights. The reserve is enormous, and the lodge’s own pleasures — the stables, tennis, wine cellar, spa — deserve at least one unhurried day.
