Sasakwa Hill Lodge offers a distinctive stay in Singita Grumeti, Serengeti, Tanzania. The current property is Singita Sasakwa Lodge – an Edwardian-inspired hilltop base with panoramic views across the 350,000-acre Grumeti reserve.
The property is currently marketed as Singita Sasakwa Lodge.
Accommodation and character
A grand manor-house lodge with six one-bedroom cottages, larger two-, three- and four-bedroom cottages, plus the private Hillside Suite. Categories can vary substantially in privacy, outlook, size and family suitability, so the best choice is not automatically the most expensive. We select accommodation around the guests and the way they intend to use the property.
We also look beyond the bedroom. A private deck, pool, river view, central location or strong main lodge can materially change the hours between activities. Current room configurations and inclusions are checked against the actual travel dates before we recommend a particular category.
Sasakwa today
Singita currently lists six one-bedroom cottages, two two-bedroom cottages, one three-bedroom cottage and one four-bedroom cottage at Sasakwa, each with a private plunge pool. The separate one-bedroom Hillside Suite has its own swimming pool and includes a dedicated butler, private guide and private game-drive vehicle.
The lodge overlooks Singita Grumeti, a 350,000-acre reserve adjoining the Serengeti. The scale matters: wildlife viewing is not confined to the migration months, and the private-reserve setting allows a more controlled guest experience than many busier parts of the ecosystem.
Experiences
Experiences can include twice-daily game drives, walking, tennis, wellness, conservation experiences and seasonal Great Migration viewing. Season, weather, tides, wildlife movements and local schedules can alter what is possible, so we prefer to build flexible days around the strongest opportunities rather than fill every hour simply because an activity exists.
Wildlife encounters can never responsibly be guaranteed. Good guiding, enough time and an understanding of habitat are more valuable than a checklist. The same principle applies to island, cultural and city stays: a few well-chosen experiences generally reveal more than trying to cover everything.
Dining and downtime
Meals and unstructured time are part of the experience. Depending on the property, dining may move between a restaurant, terrace, beach, riverbank, bush setting or private deck. Dietary requirements should be advised before travel, especially at remote camps and islands where supplies require advance planning.
We deliberately leave breathing space. Watching wildlife from camp, swimming, using a spa, exploring independently or simply sitting with the view can be as memorable as another scheduled excursion and prevents a longer itinerary from becoming exhausting.

Good to know
Rates, inclusions, transfers, operating dates and activity schedules can change. We confirm the details for the requested dates, including baggage restrictions, road or boat transfer times, minimum ages, seasonal access and any permits or specialist arrangements required.
Length of stay should reflect the effort involved in reaching the property and the depth of the destination. A city stop may work in one or two nights; a remote safari camp, island or rural lodge often deserves three or more. We plan the overall rhythm so the journey remains varied without feeling rushed.
