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. Created in 1994 and today conserved through the Grumeti Fund, this 350,000-acre concession plays a critical role in safeguarding a key Migration route, where large herds of wildebeest and zebra typically pass through between May and July as they move north through the Serengeti ecosystem.

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 conservation-focused tourism model helps support long-term wildlife protection, anti-poaching efforts and community initiatives across the region. It is one of the most sophisticated, immersive and meaningful safari experiences on the continent.

 Singita Grumeti FAQs

Where is Singita Grumeti located?

Singita Grumeti is located adjacent to the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, within the western corridor of the wider Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The concession spans approximately 350,000 acres of protected wilderness. It combines easily with other destinations on Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

What makes Singita Grumeti different from the Serengeti National Park?

Singita Grumeti is a private concession bordering the Serengeti National Park, offering low vehicle density, highly personalized guiding and activities that are more restricted within the national park. Guests can enjoy off-road game drives, evening and night drives, guided walks and access to some of Tanzania’s most luxurious lodges and private villas.

The concession also sits along an important Great Wildebeest Migration route, providing excellent opportunities to see the herds as they typically move through between May and July.

Singita’s low-impact tourism model also helps support the long-term conservation of the reserve and the work of the Grumeti Fund, which manages wildlife protection and community development programs across the region.

What wildlife can I expect to see in Singita Grumeti?

Singita Grumeti is known for excellent predator viewing, including lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena, alongside strong populations of elephant, buffalo and Maasai giraffe. The concession also lies along an important Great Wildebeest Migration route, so large herds of wildebeest and zebra typically move through between May and July.

With varied habitats and low vehicle density, wildlife encounters can feel intimate and remarkably private.

When is the best time to visit Singita Grumeti?

Singita Grumeti is a rewarding year-round safari destination, but the experience changes with the seasons. The Great Migration typically moves through the concession between May and July, offering the chance to see large herds of wildebeest and zebra with significantly lower vehicle densities than in many of the Serengeti’s busier Migration areas.

Outside the Migration months, Grumeti still offers excellent resident wildlife viewing, including lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant and buffalo, often with very few other vehicles around sightings. The greener months (November to April) can also bring dramatic landscapes, strong birding and a quieter safari experience.

The best time to visit ultimately depends on whether your priority is the Great Migration, resident wildlife, photography or a more private safari experience.
