Four Seasons Serengeti
A hotel style lodge you don’t need to leave. Comfort, Style & a Watering hole.
The Four Seasons Serengeti is located deep in the heart of the Serengeti National Park just off the main game route. It is known as one of the best safari lodges in the Serengeti. Compared to the other safari lodges on offer, the 4 Season Serengeti has unrivalled suite accommodation that does not compromise on your comfort. Some may say that it is an ‘unconventional’ safari accommodation due to the fact that it is more of a hotel than a safari lodge. You can easily stay at the Four Seasons for a whole 7 days without feeling the need to travel anywhere else. Usually, you would think that this will detract from seeing the animals, but you would be wrong. The Fours Seasons is perched perfectly next to a busy watering hole so you can share your morning coffee with almost all of the famous African animals, that you have come to see. Alongside this, you have the option to head out on a game drive organised by the hotel, or your own guide.
Singita Sasakwa
Luxury, Stylish, Amazing Service, Private Wine Selection and Spectacular Views.
The Singita Collection are some of the most luxurious and unique safari lodges in the whole of Tanzania; the Singita Sasakwa is no exception. It seems that every single detail, no matter how big or small has been considered here to put together the idyllic safari lodge. The Lodge has a real sense of history and grandeur that is intrinsic to the characteristics of the turn-of-the-century Manor House and private cottages. The Singita Sasakwa Lodge has a blend of authentic European Style, and East African influence. If you have a taste for the finer things in life, the Sasakwa Lodge will have a special appeal for those with a good eye for luxury & ‘old world’ elegance. What’s more- the Singita Sasakwa has its very own chief and wine expert who can guide you to enjoy the best wines from the Singita private collection.
From the decor, to the service and locations selected, the Singita Saskwa is certainly the most thought out and one of the best safari lodges in the Serengeti & Grumeti area.
Faru Faru
Expect the Unexpected on the Migration Route with Spectacular Views, Service & Accommodation.
This is the second entry from the Singita Collection of Safari Lodges: The Singita Faru Faru Lodge is situated in Grumeti in Northern Tanzania which is slightly north of the Serengeti itself. The Faru Faru Lodge is built on the side of a gently sloping hill and the riverine lodge is positioned on the migratory route of the Great Wildebeest Migration. Not only is the Faru Faru the perfect location to enjoy the vistas of the Serengeti but its close proximity to the river gives visitors the opportunity to rekindle their relationship with nature.
For visitors to the Faru Faru Lodge, expect to experience the informal, unconventional & surprising mix of contemporary, organic style & the quirky practicality of a traditional botanist camp.
Lemala Kuria Hills
Luxury, Comfort, Views and Serengeti Adventures!
Close to the Mara River on the Tanzanian side of the Kenyan border in the Wogakurya Hills, the Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge offers pretty much-unrivalled luxury. Surrounded in large boulders and kopjes, each tent is carefully positioned to ensure privacy and to optimize the spectacular views over the woodlands, grassy slopes and watercourses that have made the Northern Serengeti’s landscapes famous worldwide. The lodge is clean with a modern design that has an intrinsically Tanzanian heart. You can enjoy a freshly prepared 3 course meal either in the camp, or out in the bush & tea is traditionally served in the afternoon before your game drive & you can enjoy cocktails at sunset looking over the Lauria Escarpment. In the wild, a tent forms the Melegali Spa. It is here you can indulge in relaxation and recovery either before, or after your Serengeti Safari adventure.
If you imagine combining Luxury, comfort, relaxation, amazing views and animals- you have a front-runner for the best safari lodge in the Serengeti & Grumeti.
Serengeti Pioneer Camp
Truly Authentic Safari That is the Best of Both A Lodge & Tented Camp
The Elewana collection is known for its opulence, its locations and strong unique styles and characteristics. The Serengeti Pioneer Camp holds to the Elewana tradition to offer a homage to the 1930s mobile camps when an African Safari was entering into an unknown world, laden with mystery, adventure and danger. While the Pioneer camp is not the traditional safari ‘lodge’ experience, the camp combines the luxury of a lodge and the affinity with nature that is offered in a camp. You are able to completely immerse yourself in the habitat where they wildlife live while maintaining the high-class luxury of the modern day. A tented safari is the most authentic safari experience but aren’t as comfortable as a lodge- why not get the best of both worlds.
Serengeti Migration Camp
Excellent Location, Raw Safari Experience while Maintaining Opulence
Much like the Serengeti Pioneer camp, the Migration Camp combines the raw experience of a tented safari with the luxury that the modern day can provide. The Migration camp, however, sits perfectly on the northern route of the Great Wildebeest migration and is hidden among the rocky outcrops that have spectacular views of the Serengeti. The Elewana touch has given the Migration camp a unique feel of opulence and spectacular service. Although the Safari camp is designed as a base, it is easy to stay long periods here and enjoy every second.
