Singita Grumeti Reserves stands true to its crown of world’s best hotel


When we informed you that Singita Game Reserve was voted the best hotel for the 2nd time in a row in this year’s Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards, little, did we speak about the natural habitat surrounding the reserve, or the sumptuous lodges and camps that patrons can reside in? The Singita Reserves is spread across the western corridor of Serengeti in Tanzania. The reserve offers an unparalleled eco-safari teeming with magnificent wildlife encounters and a perfect location for solitude. The property is positioned ideally on the epic migratory route traversed annually by more than a million wildebeest.


The reserve has on its site two lodges and a camping ground. Situated on a slope, basking in the abundance of animal species and birdlife around it, Singita Faru Faru Lodge lends a contemporary signature style to safari. Inspired by a botanical theme, this riverside lodge offers barefoot elegance in a laid-back rustic setting. The Faru Faru Lodge has 8 air-conditioned en suites complete with a bath and an outdoor shower and can accommodate up to 22 guests at one time. Elevated viewing decks over the watering hole allow guests to view the game without even leaving their lodge, and a Swahili-inspired ‘beach’ offers the opportunity for some serious rest and relaxation. The Villa Suite comprises two identical double bedrooms and a large shared open space lounge/dining area. The bedrooms are en-suite with a bath and outdoor shower.

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 hand-crafted furniture.
