  • Premium price, but truly exceptional
Mobile camps do not come any more luxurious than Singita Explore. The finer details and the sheer quality of the product itself put Explore as one of the best tented camp experiences anywhere.

  • All Big Five species – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – live in the Singita Grumeti Reserves.

    DSC3105

  • You can also look out for numerous smaller predators and herbivores, such as cheetah, hyenas, jackals, wild dog, giraffe, eland, and kudus.

    DSC3105

  • As mentioned, the camp is positioned right in the path of the Great Migration, so come May to early July you can expect to see the huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles! However, even outside these busy times the reserves are great for game viewing.

    DSC3105

  • Hundreds of birds can be sighted here too, and the camp’s safari walks are ideal for birdwatching as well as taking a close look at the insect life and plant life.

    DSC3105

  • There are no age restrictions on community visits or on trips to an anti-poaching observation post to meet the reserves’ hardworking game scouts.

    DSC3105

  • Everyone can enjoy archery too, and a little stargazing come nightfall. And children can take part in Singita’s Mini Rangers’ Course, which involves animal tracking, bush survival techniques, and frogging!

    DSC3105

  • Older children can even go mountain biking – please contact a member of the Yellow Zebra team for more information about kids’ activities and anything else to do with staying at Singita Explore.

*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Access & Location

The camp is accessed via 45–60 minutes’ drive from Sasakwa airstrip. From Arusha, the flight time to Sasakwa is 1 hour, and it’s 1 hour 15 minutes from Kilimanjaro. Explore is situated within the wildlife-rich Singita Grumeti Reserves, specifically on plains forming part of the route of the Great Migration

*As this is a mobile tented camp, the location will change throughout the year based on the camp’s position. Mobile tented camps relocate seasonally to follow wildlife movements. Temporary but fully serviced, mobile tented camps leave no permanent trace and offer access to remote wilderness areas far from the crowds.

Facilities

The communal lounge and dining areas at Explore occupy the camp’s mess tent, which, in common with the guest tents, has a lovely veranda.

Make an Enquiry

Additionally, it’s open sided, so guests can marvel at the views! In the lounge area, mostly leather-cushioned seating is set up around a central coffee table, on which are displayed a few books and a chequers board. The camp’s bar is also found in the mess tent, and all drinks apart from French champagne are included in the cost of your stay. Guests can enjoy delicious meals in the dining area, but a lot of Explore’s eating and drinking takes place around the campfire. Pre-arranged spa treatments are available, and guests can hunt for souvenirs in the boutique and gallery!

Amenities

There’s a maximum of six one-bedroom guest tents, and all can be configured to suit your sleeping arrangements.

Each tent is made out of natural canvas, with the roof extending well over the outer walls at the sides to create a private veranda. Set with deckchairs and dining furniture, this is a great spot for relaxing and enjoying amazing views over the plains! Inside every tent, there are bedside cabinets with lighting, a writing desk and chair, a couple of comfy chairs, and two hanging rails with luggage racks beneath. Amenities include fans and a tea-and-coffee station. The en-suite facilities are accessed through a curtained partition to one side of the bedroom, and they comprise flush toilet, washbasin on a stand with mirror over, and shower. The overall style of the tents is safari chic, and we particularly like the roll-down netting above the beds – it’s very effective!
