SINGITA GRUMETI
Quote:
Singita Grumeti is comprised of four permanent properties and one mobile camp – Singita Sasakwa Lodge, Singita Sabora Tented Camp, Singita Faru Faru Lodge, Singita Serengeti House and Singita Explore – all set within 350,000 acres of land adjoining Serengeti National Park. Sasakwa Lodge, the most sumptuous, comprises nine cottages suites and one villa styled as colonial manor houses, with fireplaces, antique bath tubs, a wraparound veranda, a plunge pool, and Wi-Fi. Between game drives, guests can smoke complimentary cigars at the main lodge’s bar, take tea in the garden sunroom, shoot billiards on a nineteenth-century table, and make free satellite phone calls; other diversions include an archery range and a stable of horses for gallops alongside the herds. On an open plain, Sabora has nine tents furnished with antiques from an English lord’s East African campaign in a 1920s style. Faru Faru’s eight tents sit in wooded country by the Grumeti River. A return to the very essence of safari, Singita Explore is a private camp that moves according to where the best game viewing is within the Grumeti Reserves and provides access to the most remote and beautiful locations. Singita Serengeti House, is an exclusive-use retreat designed to welcome friends and families to a relaxed home away from home. Up to eight guests can stay at Serengeti House and they can choose between the two suites in the main house or the two garden suites situated on either side.

SANCTUARY SWALA CAMP
Quote:
A hauntingly beautiful landscape of winding rivers, ancient woodlands, swamps, and open savanna, Tarangire is home to all of the Big Five except rhino and, although plagued with biting tsetse flies, is one of the best places in Africa to observe elephants and lions. Here, Swala camp—newly swank after an update and relocated amid a stand of umbrella-shaped acacia tortilis trees—has 12 large tents on wooden platforms. All have private verandas, separate dressing areas, netted beds, and both indoor and outdoor showers; Wi-Fi is available in the reception area. You’ll eat excellent modern African cuisine in the thatched open-air dining area that sits beneath a centuries-old baobab overlooking the water hole, which during the dry season attracts so many animals—including lions—that you may be tempted to skip the twice-daily game drives in the tsetse fly–vulnerable open vehicles.
