Singita Sabora

Pared-back safari camp

Nine canvas pavilions sit directly on the grass, trading heavy colonial antiques for raw proximity to passing wildlife.

“This tented camp from Singita delivers on all three. Erected on the 350,000-acre Singita Grumeti Reserve, this high-design camp is the brand’s most ambitious yet.”

The rooms

Tented suites rest at ground level, each with an outdoor daybed sala and meditation deck overlooking an active waterhole.

The pool

Bring a swimsuit.

A curved swimming pool is set into the main timber deck, looking out across the plains toward active waterholes.

The gym

Mesh roll-up walls open the tented gym to the savanna, where stationary bikes face out toward grazing wildlife.

The spa

A dedicated treatment tent opens toward the sunset, and massages can also be arranged on private suite decks.

At the table

Meals are served under canvas or on the deck, and a self-service deli stocks artisanal snacks and cheeses.

Huge, ornate tents are throwbacks to 1920s expedition style, decorated with crystal port decanters, freshly cut flowers, decorative carpets and kilims, four-poster beds, clawed bathtubs, and wood-and-leather campaign chairs.

How it began

Philanthropist Paul Tudor Jones leased this degraded hunting concession in 2002, funding its complete rehabilitation into a protected wildlife reserve.
