History
Singita Milele and Kilima were launched in 2024 as the latest additions to the Singita Private Villa Collection within the 350,000-acre Grumeti Reserve. These exclusive-use retreats on Sasakwa Hill were established to provide ultra-private safari experiences while funding the conservation and community work of the Grumeti Fund. Both villas operate with a focus on low-impact, high-value tourism in the western corridor of the Serengeti ecosystem.
