Singita Grumeti
Sole tourism operator on the 350,000-acre private Grumeti Reserve, bordering the Serengeti on the Great Migration route — seven Singita properties across it
The Privata Perspective
Grumeti is not one lodge but seven Singita properties on a 350,000-acre private reserve in the Serengeti's western corridor. The private status is the point: it is a concession rather than a park, so sightings are not shared with other operators' vehicles, and guided walking is part of the offer.
Sasakwa is the Edwardian manor on the hill, ten cottages plus the Hillside Suite. Faru Faru sits low on the Grumeti River, Sabora is nine tents on open plain, and Serengeti House, Milele and Kilima are exclusive-use villas. Explore is a stripped-back private camp on the plains, taken by one party. The trade-off worth knowing: the migration only passes through this corridor for part of the year, so if you are booking chiefly for river crossings, check the dates before committing — we will tell you plainly when your window does not match.
