Singita Sasakwa Lodge, Tanzania

Left

If it's solitude you seek, then Singita Grumeti Reserves is the place to be. Singita Sasakwa Lodge is one of three Singita lodges in this 340 000 acre private concession, which means that guests have this wild stretch of Africa all to themselves. At any given time, there will be only 52 guests staying in all three Singita lodges combined. The six cottages each feature either one, two or three bedrooms and the villa has four bedrooms. Each cottage has a private infinity-edge pool overlooking the sun-kissed Serengeti plains. The bedrooms with inviting four-posters are beautifully appointed, displaying typical African influences with touches of wood, leather and grass, alongside crisp linens, imported chandeliers and exotic furniture.
