Having traveled over 1000 air miles/year, this rivals all else. Tucked in the Serengeti with extraordinary animals, a tented lodge of incredible elegance brings u back to a time when life was much more simple - an elegance that only kings and queens could have hoped to enjoy. Every detail from the tents to the linens and silverware brought us... More

Three nights at the Singita Sabora tented camp exceeded our expectations. What a treat to be spoiled by Apollinaire, delighted on drives by Medard, all overseen by Wilson. The game drives were extraordinary, accommodations exquisite (will never forget outdoor shower under the moonlight).

This camp was beyond our expectations in every way.. Our waiter/butler, Sam was absolutely the best person. He anticipated your needs and desires, he was always there when you wanted him and yet gave you your space so you never felt like he was hovering around you. The attention to detail was phenomenal. The camp setting was magical - waking... More

We stayed at Sabora for 2 nights in September 2012 during our 12 day African safari across Northern Tanzania. We stayed at several luxury camps, including Singita Sasakwa, and Sabora was our favorite of them all. It gave us the feeling of being in Africa we were looking for. We flew from Kogatende airstrip to Sasakwa airstrip where we were... More

I've been on 15 safaris - it's my favorite thing to do in the world. If you are going to stay at a tented camp, this has to be one of your top choices. The setting is magnificent - you are on the plains, surrounded by game. The food is really, really top-notch. Don't like what's on the menu? They'll... More

We stayed at Sabora on a recent trip to Tanzania which included a stay at Faru Faru. Please see my review of Faru on this site as well. Sabora and Faru Faru couldn't be more different in terms of style, but what they shared in common were amazing game viewing, great food and great service. If I had to pick... More

I've traveled to over fifty cities in two dozen countries, and this is my first online review. I doubt I'll contribute anything new on here that hasn't already been said, but I thought I'd just reaffirm that Sabora is a truly special place. I spent three nights here on safari with my father. While we visited Sasakwa for lunch-- and... More

We spend two nights at Sabora (and two after that at Faru Faru) in course of our honey moon beginning of June 2012. Despite being too early to see the great migration, we had the best time imaginable. The tents are wonderful and luxurious, stylish in their own theme. Great food, impeccable service, amazing game drives... just perfect! We preffered... More

Sabora Tented Camp is the over-the-top pinacle of a tented safari. This is one of three Singita brand properties on the Grumeti Reserve, and it is by far the most fanciful. They have brought to life a Hollywood-vision of what a safari once was (In fact, they themselves compare it to the movie Out of Africa). As you approach the... More

I was cautious leading up to my stay here because I had such high expectations seeing Singita Grumeti Reserve as #1 ranked hotel in the world by Travel & Leisure. Somehow this place lived up the hype. Tents were stunning. For our family of four we had 2 separate bed-room tents with huge bedrooms and bathrooms, and then a separate... More
