Wagora Bike Ride

Ride in solidarity and support of the Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching scouts, who fearlessly protect the wildlife of the western Serengeti.

Dates: 29 October – 03 November 2026
This five-day journey includes a 150-kilometre cycle across the Singita’s Grumeti concession over three days. Riding the same terrain these scouts patrol daily, participants will also spend time engaging with the Grumeti Fund’s teams to learn firsthand about their conservation and community initiatives, before ending each night at Sabora.
The event stands as a powerful tribute to brave individuals who protect Africa’s wildlife. It’s a ride that asks participants to feel, in some small way, what it means to move through this landscape with purpose and resolve.
It specifically honours the memory of Kitaboka Wagora, a scout who made the ultimate sacrifice for conservation when he was tragically killed by a poacher in 2008. His memory continues to inspire others to follow a path of bravery and commitment to protecting Africa’s wild places for future generations.

Grumeti Fund

Als Hüter von mehr als 1.400 Quadratmetern des weltberühmten Ökosystems der Serengeti in Tansania arbeitet Singita eng mit dem Grumeti Fund zusammen, was eine enorme Wirkung erzielt. Der gemeinnützige Grumeti Fund führt Programme zum Schutz von Wildtieren und für die Dorfentwicklung innerhalb und außerhalb der Singita Grumeti Reserve durch.
Angesichts von Herausforderungen wie unkontrollierter Wilderei, Buschfeuern und invasiven Pflanzenarten beschloss der Grumeti Fund, als er im Jahr 2003 das Management der Region übernahm, sich voll und ganz für den Artenschutz einzusetzen und die schwindenden Populationen wieder aufzubauen. Er machte aus der öden, stark zerstörten Region wieder eine blühende Wildnis. Zu seinen größten Erfolgen gehören die Wiederansiedlung vieler Arten wie Büffeln, Gnus und Elefanten. 2019 gelang mit der Umsiedlung von neun vom Aussterben bedrohten Ostafrikanischen Spitzmaulnashörnern ein einmaliges Projekt.
Der gemeinnützige Fonds ist bei seinen Projekten für Umweltschutz und Dorfentwicklung finanziell unabhängig. Er finanziert sich aus Spenden der Gäste von Singita sowie von Nichtregierungsorganisationen und Philanthropen, die einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Naturschutzarbeit in Afrika leisten möchten.

3 Focus Areas of Conservation

Community

Singita seeks to immerse and connect guests to the nature, culture, and people of a place in ways that honour, sustain, and even help them. It’s a way to ensure that the impact of our travels is as minimal as possible, and wherever it can be, beneficial.

Sustainability

For decades, Singita has taken care to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our guest experience and operations. Working with local communities and conservation partners, we aim to reduce our and our guests’ impact.

Biodiversity

Surrounded by thousands of hectares, with no other light, sound, or presence except what belongs, balance is preserved – between conservation and tourism, luxury and lightness on the earth, and travel, with the quiet understanding that though it may always leave a trace, it needn’t leave a mark.
