Singita Sabora FAQs
Where is Singita Sabora Tented Camp located within the Serengeti?
Singita Sabora Tented Camp is located within the 350,000-acre private Singita Grumeti Reserve, which borders the western sector of the Serengeti National Park. It forms part of the greater Serengeti–Mara ecosystem and sits along the annual Great Migration route.
Its location within a private reserve allows for very few vehicles and a more exclusive wildlife-viewing experience, while still keeping guests deeply connected to the wider Serengeti ecosystem.
Is Singita Sabora a good camp for viewing the Great Migration?
Yes. Sabora is exceptionally well positioned for the Great Migration, particularly from May to July, when large herds typically move through the western corridor of the Serengeti.
You’ll enjoy front-row wildlife viewing with very few other vehicles in sight, thanks to the private nature of the Singita Grumeti Reserve. The exact timing of the herds varies each year depending on rainfall and grazing conditions.
What is included in a stay at Singita Sabora Tented Camp?
A stay at Singita Sabora Tented Camp includes luxury tented accommodation, all meals and beverages, including premium wines, spirits and liqueurs, twice-daily game drives, return road transfers from Sasakwa airstrip, laundry service and Wi-Fi.
Guests also have full use of their private meditation deck, in-room fitness area and pantry, as well as the camp’s swimming pool and wellness facilities.
Hot-air balloon safaris, wellness treatments and other additional activities are not included and can be arranged separately through your Ubuntu Travel specialist.
How many nights should I stay at Singita Sabora Tented Camp?
We generally recommend spending three nights at Singita Sabora Tented Camp. This gives you enough time for multiple game drives, a guided walk, and time to enjoy the camp itself without feeling rushed.
Three nights also works particularly well if Sabora is being combined with another lodge elsewhere in the Serengeti, giving you a contrasting experience while keeping the overall journey at a comfortable pace.
Is Singita Sabora Tented Camp good for honeymooners?
Yes. Singita Sabora Tented Camp is an excellent choice for honeymooners looking for privacy, romance and a contemporary tented safari experience in the Serengeti.
With just nine suites, private outdoor salas, meditation decks and very few other vehicles in the surrounding Grumeti Reserve, the camp feels intimate and secluded. In-suite dining, wellness treatments and the relaxed Guest Deli experience also make it easy to slow down and enjoy time together between game drives.

Absolute 1st class travel planning. We had the most amazing and memorable trip, and as a person who likes to travel plan myself, this trip had so many moving parts there's no way I could have tackled it. I'd give Ubuntu an 11/10 rating if I could. They made our travel seamless, relaxed, and delivered the most incredible experience. 100% we will use them again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

What an incredible South Africa trip Ubuntu planned for my wife and I! Ubuntu set us up with full-day guided Peninsula and Winelands tours during our few days in Cape Town, followed by four days of Safari game drives at the Savanna Lodge within the Sabi Sands Nature Reserve. A huge thank you to Ubuntu for finding a perfect balance/mix of fun activities and relaxed downtime throughout out trip! Ubuntu took care of all the travel logistics once we got down to South Africa. Ubuntu set us up with our Guest Experience Liaison that would check-in with us ever couple of days and was available on call if we needed any sort of logistical support. We didn't end up needing to lean on our liaison since everything went so smoothly, but surely felt we had all the support we needed had something come up. We know we will be utilizing Ubuntu the next time we travel to Africa and highly recommend Ubuntu to anyone else planning a trip to Africa!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
From the plains of the Serengeti to the shores of Zanzibar, Ubuntu Travel designed an unforgettable Tanzanian package to celebrate a milestone birthday. I was especially grateful that they embraced this solo traveler and ensured that every detail was planned out in advance, making this a trip of a lifetime.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Ubuntu Travel planned the most epic safari vacay for my husband and in Tanzania. We loved every place we stayed and every detail was taken care of! Their communication was exceptional! 100 out of 10!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Best vacation of our lives!! My husband and I booked with Ubuntu for an unforgettable vacation to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar this past June. The experience and support of Ubuntu was beyond our wildest dreams. We had first class, 5 star luxury service from start to finish. Jenna was absolutely amazing and was always a text, email or phone call away to answer our 100s of questions we had during the planning process. Owner's, Kyle and Leah were so kind as to even share links with my husband and I from some of their favorite stores so we could look safari chic. The care and support we were given during this entire vacation were top tier. The vacation itself was so personal, intimate and beautiful. The accommodations were breathtaking. Every lodge and camp left us speechless other than uttering the word, WOW, over and over. The service and staff at the lodges and camps were first class and luxurious. I didn't know a tented camp could be so fancy. I could have never dreamed of having a hot shower in the middle of the Serengeti with fresh French pressed African coffee brought to our tent every morning, or a 3 course breakfast with fresh fruit smoothies in the Masai Mara. We felt connected and so safe throughout our 3 week journey. The safaris were breathtaking and educational. You cannot describe how incredible this vacation is, you have to experience it and Ubuntu gave us a vacation of a lifetime. I cannot recommend Ubuntu enough to anyone looking to book a luxury African vacation. They did the hard work for us all the way down to sending us our beautifully embroidered Ubuntu duffle bag. Great customer service, great company, great people!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We loved working with Ubuntu. From start to finish they were easy to work with. They really listened to what we wanted and planned the perfect trip. Their support in getting ready and throughout our trip was truly excellent (they really took great care of us). We had a flight cancelled and they went all out to get us back on track so we did not miss a thing. Their planning, work and local partners on the ground really allowed us to relax and be present. We had the trip of a lifetime and would absolutely use them again. Highly recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Wow! Ubuntu Travel planned the most amazing trip to Uganda for me. I cannot say enough good things about the meticulous planning they provided. Not only were they superb in planning, they also checked in while I was on my trip. The lodges I stayed at were spectacular, my guide seemed hand picked just for me and the scenery was beautiful and the food was 5 star quality. It was the most amazing trip of a lifetime. I am hoping to go back to Uganda someday. I definitely am going back to Africa and there is no doubt that I will be using Ubuntu Travel to plan my trip! I cannot imagine ever using anyone but Ubuntu for travel to Africa.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Ubuntu planned our honeymoon to Tanzania recently and it was the greatest trip of our lives--and it's not even close. From start to finish, everything was taken care of. Ubuntu plans the type of trip where you don't even have to think--travel stress is off the table. After a brief call to discuss options, we had an itinerary sent to us with the perfect combination of safari and beach. If you've come across Ubuntu, you're done searching. Just do it. At the end of our trip, my wife and I agreed: "If this is the best trip we ever take for the rest of our lives, we're okay with that."Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We cannot thank Ubuntu enough for planning such a special trip for our honeymoon. From beginning to end, the trip was so smooth. Every point of contact in South Africa was so kind, helpful, punctual, and informational. They partner with incredible companies, and they really know what they are doing. Leah, Kyle, and Jenna planned the perfect trip for us, and they were readily available for any questions we had.They selected the most stunning places for us to stay, and we experienced such a range of types of hospitality. We felt so spoiled and taken care of the entire trip. Would strongly recommend Ubuntu for anyone who was traveling to Africa. They were a dream to work with.
