Singita Sabora Tented Camp
Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania · Singita · Grand Luxury
The current Singita Sabora Tented Camp opened in November 2020 as a full rebuild of the original 2004 camp, one of Singita's first properties in the Grumeti Reserve, which was razed to the ground in 2019. Nine tented suites replace the old camp's Persian rugs and colonial trunks with minimalist canvas and timber, set across the Serengeti's western corridor where the Grumeti Fund has rebuilt buffalo numbers from roughly 600 to 9,000 since taking over the land in 2003.

About Singita Sabora Tented Camp
- The original Sabora camp opened in 2004 as one of the first Singita properties in the Grumeti Reserve, but it was completely dismantled in 2019 and rebuilt from scratch.
- Since the Grumeti Fund began managing the reserve in 2003, the buffalo population has grown from about 600 to roughly 9,000 animals.
- The camp's 2020 redesign replaced its original Persian-rug, colonial-trunk decor with a minimalist, explorer-style look in canvas and timber.
- Grumeti Fund founder Paul Tudor Jones, an American hedge-fund manager, leased the 350,000-acre former hunting concession from the Tanzanian government for 30 years starting in 2002.
