Rooms + Suites

A passion for refined splendor.

The lodge ensconces its guests in comfort, luxury, and old-world elegance. From the vantage point of Sasakwa Hill, panoramic views of the Serengeti plains merge with the horizon and provide a sense of immense space and freedom.

Singita Sasakwa has nine cottages at the main lodge and one Hillside Suite, all with private plunge pools. The cottages are all uniquely named and each offer ample space for guests to spread out in their own living area, large dressing room, oversized bathroom and bedroom. We love Hillside Suite which is all about privacy, offering infinite views over the plains of the Serengeti. Set high on a secluded hillside away from the main lodge, this romantic hideaway for two ensures an authentic connection with nature, while every creature comfort is catered for. Featuring spacious interiors, two wooden outdoor decks, a private rimflow pool as well as a unique ‘bar-deli’ filled with delicacies, this is the ultimate retreat. Guests enjoy everything from private in-room dining to a private game vehicle, Field Guide and host/butler. The vast indoor and outdoor areas allow for wellness experiences enveloped by nature, including calming yoga practices to in-room spa treatments and soothing couples’ massages on the expansive decks.
Wellness

Tranquility overlooking the beautiful Serengeti Plains.

Singita Sasakwa Lodge offers an expansive swimming pool next to the main house in addition to private infinity pools at each cottage and at the private villa. For those who want to stay on track with their gym regime, there's a large fitness center (the biggest of all the Singita lodges in Grumeti) with state-of-the-art fitness equipment.

The Singita wellness philosophy creates an environment for our urban-weary guests to reconnect to nature, revive their senses, restore their body and mind, and explore our African culture. The spa journey can be performed in the tranquility of the Spa, which overlooks the beautiful Serengeti Plains, out on a private deck, or in the comfort of guest suites. The products used are carefully selected for the positive impact that they have on our guests and the environment. The Dermalogica products use only the finest ingredients available from eco-safe sources, do not test on animals and are suitable for both men and women.
Restaurants

Each and every plate is an expression of the company’s commitment not only to creating an outstanding food offering that perfectly complements the exquisite surroundings in which guests find themselves, but to the importance of practicing environmental sustainability at every level, including in the kitchens.
Bar

Wine is a key ingredient of the unique Singita experience.

Singita is recognized as one of Africa’s most influential collectors of wine, with an extensive cellar showcasing a premium selection of wines, including some of the continent’s most sought-after private reserves, including exclusive release, limited single vineyard and rare auction wines. It’s safe to say that wine is a key ingredient of the unique Singita experience. Personalized wine tastings within the unique ambience of each lodge’s own temperature-controlled cellar are a true guest favorite, for connoisseurs and casual tasters alike. Singita’s experienced sommeliers are able to guide guests through a variety of wine styles, years and cultivars to find the wines most suited to their individual tastes.
