Western Corridor, Serengeti, Northern Tanzania

Serengeti is the last place on earth where great herds of mammals - millions of them - still travel their ancient paths. Only at Singita Serengeti, in its vast unpeopled places, can you feel that you are truly one-on-one with limitless nature. Singita Serengeti, in the long-isolated western corridor, is a completely protected and patrolled wilderness. Only the animals and guests have free rein here. A maximum of fifty-three guests in three luxurious lodges and camps share over 350,000 acres (140,000 hectares) with an array of wildlife that is unrivalled in its diversity: thirty species of grass- and plant-eaters, two dozen species of large carnivores and five hundred species of birds.

You will experience all this and return to the lodges and camps straight out of the Golden Age of East African living. Your pillow is strewn with rose petals. Dinner is served on Wedgewood china. Vintage wines from Haut Brion and Lafitte – or from the exciting new wineries of South Africa – are poured in Stuart cut crystal. Your bedroom and living room are furnished with antiques gathered from the great homes and camps of East Africa. At day’s end, the cool night breeze carries the calls of creatures great and small, echoing across the plain.

Sasakwa Hill Lodge is situated on the top of Sasakwa Hill, with awe-inspiring views over the Serengeti plains. The lodge is built in the grand style of an English manor home and comprises seven suites, ranging in size from one to four bedrooms. Each air-conditioned suite features a bedroom, lounge with fireplace, veranda with your own spotting scope, en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, dressing area, guest bathroom, heated infinity pool, direct-dial telephone and wireless internet access.

The lodge area offers a dining room, lounge and bar, garden room, television room with satellite television, DVD-player and collection, reading library with internet facilities, billiards room, wine cellar, and Colonial Trading Post, all opening onto wide verandas and sprawling lawns. The lodge also features two tennis courts (clay and grass), a gymnasium, spa with steam room, and a heated infinity swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Our equestrian centre is situated a few minutes walk from Sasakwa and is home to sixteen horses. The centre includes a lunging arena, fenced paddock, and a walled 2.7 kilometre riding track, which can also be used for walking or jogging. More experienced riders can enjoy outrides onto the Serengeti plains. Tack is English style, and guests have the choice of either English or Western saddles.
