Singita Sasakwa Lodge
Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania · Singita · Apex Luxury
Opened in 2003 on Sasakwa Hill inside the 350,000-acre private Grumeti Reserve, Singita Sasakwa is built as a turn-of-the-century Edwardian manor house with wraparound verandas, silver candelabras, and parquet floors — positioned on the annual migratory corridor of over a million wildebeest in the Serengeti's private heart. The non-profit Grumeti Fund, Singita's conservation partner, carried out the largest single reintroduction of nine critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino in the Serengeti ecosystem in 2019.

About Singita Sasakwa Lodge
- In 2019 the Grumeti Fund — Singita's conservation partner — conducted the largest single relocation and reintroduction of critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino ever carried out in the Serengeti ecosystem: nine animals transferred in one operation.
- The Grumeti Reserve was created by the Tanzanian government in 1994 specifically to protect the western migratory corridor of the Great Migration; when Singita took management in 2006 the area was severely depleted by illegal hunting, and buffalo, wildebeest, and elephant populations have since recovered substantially.
- The lodge sits directly on the migratory route of over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle that move annually between the Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara — making the seasonal river crossings visible from the property's verandas.
