The Wildebeest Migration was declared the 7th new Wonder of the Natural World in June 2006 and it is well justified. This annual mass movement of over a million wildebeest has to be one of the most awe inspiring sights on earth. It is very possible that these animals have been making this astonishing trek for millions of years and if that is so then man must have been marveling over this for millennia.
Singita Grumeti Reserves offers an unparalleled eco-safari teeming with magnificent wildlife encounters on the western corridor of the Serengeti. This vast private concession comprises an exclusive trio of luxury lodges positioned ideally on the epic migratory route traversed annually by more than a million wildebeest. If it is solitude you seek then Singita Grumeti Reserves is the place to be!
Each of Singita’s three Grumeti Reserve locations commands a view of the renowned migratory route, and the predators that lie in wait… So whilst June and July is the optimum time to see the migration here, the area is home to large herds of game that provide world-class photo opportunities all year round. The wildebeest leave behind immaculately trimmed grasses in their wake attracting huge volumes of plains game making September through November a great time too. Each of the lodges offer a unique experience: Singita Sasakwa Lodge positioned on Sasakwa Hill, presents dramatic, elevated views across the endless plains, Sabora Tented Camp celebrates flat open space as far as the eye can see and Faru Faru Lodge is tucked away in a diverse habitat.
Moira Smith, General Manager for Goway AFRICAExperts has just returned from an intensive trip to East Africa. Her favourite lodge – Singita Sabora. She is in good company as Singita Grumeti Reserves was ranked No.1 on the Travel + Leisure World’s best awards 2011 list of top 100 hotels overall. ‘Singita Sabora offers the quintessential authentic ‘Out of Africa’ experience. Nothing is overlooked when it comes to the guests comfort. And the game viewing is superb,” commented Moira.
Reminiscent of a bygone era, Sabora Tented Camp dishes up lavish doses of romance, exploration and intrigue. Creating the feel of a lavish tent, each canvas cocoon offers opulent luxury complete with antique mahogany travel chests, Persian rugs and silk curtains. Game moves freely through the camp and during the migration, it feels as if you’re on an island in a sea of game. The cuisine is world class and is coupled with vintage wines in surprise settings such as dining beneath a lamp-lit acacia next to a roaring bonfire underneath the incredible starlit African skies.
Singita, meaning place of miracles, is world renowned for providing outstanding safari experiences. Singita Sabora lives up to the name and provides a life-changing experience.
