Explore
A primal calling to a simpler life
At home within the ecosystem
Camouflaged amongst the tall grass, Explore is one with the plains. Every moment at this pared-back, private camp is guided by the environment. Wind cools you. Heat nudges you toward shade. Curiosity calls you into each unhurried day. You wake to a human voice announcing sunrise, and at night, wildlife calls from the nearby dark.
Free to roam, you feel the earth crunch beneath every step, share meals over open flames, and end days trading stories around embers, under star-filled skies. It’s simple, yet holds everything you need: a comfortable bed, a warm bucket shower, and those who matter most.
A place for humans, being
Here, canvas is the only thing that separates you from the wild, and the intimate nature of the camp brings people together. Everything is connected. Birds perch in the canopy above you, drawing your eye; their calls and the smell of the earth sharpen your senses. There’s so much to notice around you.
Thoughts and questions emerge. Your mind gradually clears and shoulders drop; curiosity arises. Our people here know this place best, and your guide is with you, always ready to share their wisdom. As intuition grows and the traditional concept of time fades, all you’re left with is the sense of renewal that comes from undistracted time in nature.
Enveloped by wilderness
Singita Grumeti is a 350,000-acre expanse of wilderness stretching along the western corridor of the Serengeti. Rich in heritage and biodiversity, each year the Great Migration passes through, and migratory birds arrive from as far afield as Europe and Asia. Around 400 bird species have been spotted on the concession, along with an abundance of wildlife, both big and small.
The landscape is yours to explore while you’re here, either on foot, by vehicle, or in the comfort of simple observation. The plains stretch endlessly around you, dotted with waterholes and trees, and jagged kopjes line the distance. Here, the wild envelops you, meaning there’s always something to notice, hear, and marvel at.

Conservation at Singita Serengeti
The Serengeti plains teem with wildlife, including vast herds of plains game, a plethora of predators and the spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration.
As the custodian of more than 350,000 acres of the world-renowned Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania, Singita’s partnership with Grumeti Fund has had a profound impact on the Serengeti ecosystem. The non-profit Grumeti Fund carries out wildlife conservation and community development programs in and around the Singita Grumeti Reserve.
Faced with challenges including uncontrolled illegal hunting, rampant wildfires and spreading strands of invasive alien vegetation when they took over the management of the area in 2003, the Fund dedicated itself to transform severely depleted wildlife numbers into thriving populations once more. Restoring this once barren and highly degraded region to a flourishing wilderness, their successes include the remarkable recovery of many species – including buffalo, wildebeest and elephant populations, and in 2019, the Fund carried out the largest single relocation and reintroduction of 9 critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino.
The non-profit Fund is fiscally independent in its conservation and community project operations. Funds are derived in the form of donations from Singita guests, NGOs and philanthropists seeking to make a lasting contribution to the sustainability of conservation work in Africa.
