Serengeti’s Premier Private Concession
Singita Grumeti is one of Africa’s most exceptional private wildlife concessions, protecting a vast stretch of wilderness along the western corridor of the Serengeti. Established in 1993 and managed through the Grumeti Fund, this 350,000-acre concession plays a critical role in safeguarding a key Migration route, where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra pass through between May and July.
As a privately managed reserve, Singita Grumeti offers an experience that is far more exclusive than the national park, with limited vehicle numbers, extraordinary guiding and access to some of Tanzania’s most celebrated luxury lodges, including Singita Faru Faru Lodge, Singita Sasakwa Lodge and the ultra-private Singita Serengeti House. The region is renowned for exceptional big cat sightings, strong populations of elephant and buffalo and beautifully varied landscapes of open plains, riverine forests and rolling hills.
Singita’s commitment to conservation and community partnership ensures that every stay directly supports long-term wildlife protection, anti-poaching efforts and education initiatives across the region. It is one of the most sophisticated, immersive and meaningful safari experiences on the continent.

FAQs About Singita Grumeti
Where is Singita Grumeti located?
Singita Grumeti is located along the western edge of the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, within the wider western corridor of the Serengeti ecosystem. The concession spans approximately 350,000 acres of protected wilderness. It is easily combined with the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the northern Tanzania safari circuit.
What makes Singita Grumeti different from the Serengeti National Park?
Singita Grumeti is a private concession bordering the Serengeti, offering exclusivity, low vehicle density and activities not permitted in the national park. Guests enjoy off-road game drives, night safaris, guided walks and access to some of Tanzania’s most luxurious lodges and private villas. The concession also sits on a major Migration corridor, providing front-row viewing during May, June and July.
Unlike the public park, every stay directly supports the Grumeti Fund’s conservation and community programs, creating a meaningful, low-impact safari experience.
What wildlife can I expect to see in Singita Grumeti?
Singita Grumeti is known for outstanding predator populations, including large lion prides, territorial cheetahs, leopard, hyena and strong sightings of elephant, buffalo and giraffe. The concession lies directly on the Migration route, so from May to July, enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the region. With diverse habitats and strict vehicle limits, wildlife viewing is intimate, consistent and often exclusive.
