Location

Set within Singita’s 350,000-acre Grumeti Reserve in northern Tanzania, Singita Kilima occupies a privileged position on Sasakwa Hill, overlooking vast, open plains that stretch towards the greater Serengeti. This private concession is renowned for its exceptional year-round wildlife viewing, including resident lion prides, large elephant herds, along with the seasonally dramatic passage of the Great Migration. Elevated and breezy, the setting offers a sense of scale and solitude rarely found elsewhere, while remaining deeply connected to the rhythms of the land. Remote, yet easily accessible by light aircraft, the Grumeti Reserve balances wilderness immersion with long-term conservation success, protecting one of Africa’s most important ecosystems.

Design

Singita Kilima’s design is shaped by its surroundings rather than imposed upon them; natural materials, earthy tones and handcrafted details echo the colours and textures of the Serengeti. The exclusive-use, luxury lodge is arranged around generous indoor-outdoor living areas, with floor-to-ceiling openings that draw the landscape in allowing a seamless flow between terraces and shaded verandas. Thoughtful proportions encourage gathering together, while the private suites offer calm sanctuaries to reset. A curated collection of spaces - from fire-warmed lounges, a media room and fitness centre to an infinity pool overlooking the plains, private spa pools and atmospheric fire pits - ensures both sociability and seclusion are effortlessly balanced.

Activities

Explore the Grumeti Reserve by vehicle on daily game drives, tracking resident wildlife and the movements of the herds during the Great Migration at your own pace. Set out on a guided walking safari with a team of rangers, gaining a closer understanding of the ecology and rhythms of the Serengeti, or slow the day with time spent at the pool or in shaded outdoor spaces. Shape each day as you choose - games drives, wine experiences and community visits are but a few of the unique experiences on offer at Singita Kilima. Dining here is highly flexible, with menus created by your private chef; enjoy relaxed terrace lunches, fireside dinners or immersive bush meals set within the reserve.

Sustainability

Sustainability at Singita Kilima is integral to its presence in the Grumeti Reserve, where conservation, community and tourism are carefully balanced. The lodge operates within a low-impact model that prioritises responsible resource use, ecosystem restoration and long-term wildlife protection. Meaningful partnerships with neighbouring communities support education, healthcare and employment, creating shared value beyond the reserve boundaries. Every stay contributes directly to safeguarding the Serengeti’s landscapes and biodiversity, ensuring this remarkable environment remains protected for generations to come.

Why we love it

We love Singita Kilima for its rare balance of privacy, scale and space, offering a genuine sense of home in one of East Africa’s most compelling landscapes. The combination of its secluded location, commanding architecture and access to exceptional wildlife - all underpinned by Singita’s long-term conservation ethos - makes it feel both deeply considered and effortlessly special.
