Ideally suited for families and friends travelling together, Singita has added Singita Milele, an elegant new five-bedroom residence, to its collection in Tanzania.
Singita Milele’s elevated location on Sasakwa Hill, in the thriving Western Corridor of the Serengeti, offers panoramic views and invites families and groups of friends to experience the true essence of luxury – space to unwind, connect and celebrate – in one of the most iconic wilderness settings in Africa.
This extraordinary new villa offers uninterrupted views from its hilltop position – and its spacious configuration invites families or groups of friends to make the most of a fully immersive wilderness stay while in Tanzania.
Meaning “forever” in Swahili, the name Milele encapsulates the 141,000 hectares of unspoilt savannah surrounding this remote and secluded villa.
Drawing inspiration from this magnificent setting, the villa’s design is a fresh and contemporary interpretation of African safari. Milele features five individually designed suites – Journey, Pride, Coalition, Dazzle and Crash – each with a unique identity that pays tribute to the Serengeti’s iconic wildlife (namely giraffe, lion, cheetah, zebra, and rhino) and are layered in natural tones and textures to echo the surrounding wilderness and the unique features of each species.
All have outdoor showers, a bar deli, private deck and en-suite bathroom, but each has its own layout, personality and special features, including lounge areas, dressing rooms and workspaces. Contemporary African art and curated design pieces by local artisans further celebrate the setting and deepen the villa’s sense of place.
Striking an easy balance between relaxation and adventure, sociability and seclusion, sophistication and comfort, Milele has been designed for up to 10 guests. Its shared living spaces, spread across the property, are all designed around relaxation and comfort, include a cinema room, fitness centre, heated spa pools and an outdoor sala. An outdoor boma and firepit are conducive to starlit evenings recollecting the events of the day, while the rim flow swimming pool is an ideal place to cool off as guests survey the scenery, and the expansive terrace is a perfect space to gather for celebratory meals.
Singita Milele gives guests the freedom to enjoy exclusive use of the villa, with their own host, dedicated Field Guides, chefs, and full lodge team at hand to create an all-inclusive safari experience that is entirely tailored to their liking. From flexible mealtimes to private game drives and guided bush walks, guests have access to exciting nature-based activities throughout their stay.
Specifically designed to minimise the barriers between guests and nature – visually, acoustically, and physically – all the suites include outdoor showers and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto large decks. Restorative wellness experiences include yoga and meditation, and guests can also opt for wellness treatments on their private decks or from the outdoor sala.
Activities range from exclusive daily game drives to meaningful visits within the concession to experience the work of the Grumeti Fund – Singita’s non-profit conservation partner in Tanzania – up close. For wine lovers, private wine tastings guided by a world-class Singita sommelier open the door to Singita’s renowned collection of wines in Milele’s fully stocked cellar.
Set in 350,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the thriving Grumeti Reserve in northern Tanzania, this contemporary villa is located on the world-renowned annual migration route and offers guests a front- row seat to one of nature’s greatest spectacles – and exclusive access to this immense reserve and
incredible game viewing all year round.
