Safari company Singita has reopened its Singita Sabora Tented Camp, located in northern Tanzania, after an extensive redesign.
With travellers yearning for wide-open spaces, intuitive service, and unfiltered space and time, this modern interpretation of luxury tented safaris reflects a new dawn on the continent – and presents the perfect opportunity to return to Africa to rest, reset, and be restored.
Retaining the quintessential elements of a romantic safari under canvas, the camp’s nine tented suites are now set even closer to the ground. Subtle décor and design elements merge seamlessly with the continent’s creative energy and contemporary cultural identity, while hand-stitched leather finishes, durable canvas and campaign furniture echo the spirit of classic East African adventures.
Conceptualized by Singita’s design partners, Cécile & Boyd and GAPP Architects, the camp’s sophisticated aesthetics are inspired by the surrounding grasslands. Featuring muted taupe, tan, and beige, the textures and tones also include touches of brown leather, thick beige stitching, mesh and weave finishes throughout.
Deeply restorative comforts such as individual private meditation decks and secluded outdoor salas with shaded daybeds allow guests to spend languid afternoons reading, idly watch game pass by, and immerse themselves in the breathtaking views of the Serengeti. With nothing separating them from rolling grasslands, every sight, sound, and smell is amplified.
Sabora’s nourishing farm-to-table food journey celebrates seasonal freshness and regional flavours. A unique ‘Guest Deli’ in the main lodge area – featuring wicker baskets and fridges filled with gourmet delights – allows guests to pick and choose treats to enjoy in the privacy of their suites or picnic spots around the camp.
With private in-room fitness areas, soothing treatments, up-close encounters with wildlife, and more, a variety of opportunities for wellness are woven into the guest experience. A stay at Sabora nurtures and nourishes, continuously tapping into the profoundly healing potential of nature.
Set in the western corridor of the Serengeti, Singita Sabora Tented Camp gives guests exclusive access to the Serengeti Mara ecosystem, the renowned migratory route of the Great Migration. This unique reserve is protected by the dedicated conservation team at the Grumeti Fund, Singita’s conservation partner in the region, which spearheads projects like the Anti-Poaching Canine Unit, black rhino relocations, and the Serengeti Girls Run for the empowerment of girls in rural communities.
This partnership applies the best of tourism and conservation to create programs that benefit the local communities, wildlife, and the natural landscape.
