South Africa’s pioneering Singita tourism group revamped a pair of lavish lodges and a tented camp in the Grumeti Reserves of Serengeti National Park in 2009. The breakdown: Sabora Tented Camp is accessorized with antique mahogany chests, worn-leather folding chairs, and thick Persian rugs. Faru Faru, with six eight suites and one two-bedroom villa overlooking the Grumeti River, channels a Swahili beach resort; a swimming pool curves in front of an open-air lounge, where guests sip sunset cocktails as elephants gather at the watering hole below. The reserve’s flagship is Sasakwa Lodge, an East African ranch house set on a hill with panoramic views of the Serengeti plains. The lodge’s wood-paneled libraries have an English country club feel, and there are nine cottage residences and one private retreat, each with a garden and plunge pool. Also at Sasakwa are tennis courts, a spa, and a yoga center to occupy guests between twice-daily game drives, where sightings include wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles. The recent news from Singita is its mobile tented camp, Singita Explore, which provides travelers access to the 340,000-acre concession.
