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 private mobile camp that moves with the wildlife. 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.
Accommodations
Cottage, Sasakwa Lodge
Six of Sasakwa's ten one-bedroom cottages, each with its own plunge pool, fireplace, living room and French doors to the plains
Suite, Faru Faru Lodge
Seven of Faru Faru's nine, low on the Grumeti River, with two swimming pools in the lodge grounds
Sabora Tent
All nine of Sabora's units share one category — self-contained, each with its own pantry, dining and fitness area and a meditation space
Dining
Dining Room, Sasakwa
Lodge dining
Sasakwa's single indoor dining space, adjoining the bar and lounge
Interactive Kitchen, Sasakwa
Chef's kitchen
Singita's own term — a demonstration kitchen where guests cook alongside the chefs
Main Tent, Sabora
Camp dining
Sabora's one communal living and dining tent, with a fire pit and pool alongside
Spa & Wellness
Wellness is per-property and uneven — Singita's own Grumeti page says not all seven properties have a dedicated wellness space, with in-room or outdoor treatments offered instead. Sasakwa has a combined gym and spa plus a tennis court; Faru Faru and Sabora have their own treatment spaces.
When to Go
Jun–Oct
Dry season; the migration typically reaches the western corridor around June and July, which is when the Grumeti River crossings fall
Nov–May
Green season — resident game, calving further south, fewer vehicles and lower rates
