About the Lodge

Without a doubt, Singita Explore is the most authentic “roughing-it in great style” experience in the vast Serengeti. Inspired by the utility of overland gear, Singita Explore Mobile Tented Camp is particularly appealing to those who want to connect with the earth and wildlife in a very up-close and personal way, as they never have before. Despite being substantial and comfortable, the camp touches the earth lightly, as it is pitched in various remote locations across 350,000 private acres of Singita Grumeti in northern Tanzania.

Lodge Amenities

  • 6 x 1-bedroom tents configured to suit each individual group of travellers
  • This is an exclusive-use camp so it is pitched and set-up based on the requirements of each booking
  • There is no swimming pool as this is a mobile camp
  • Spa treatments can be pre-arranged

  • Children of all ages are welcome. There are baby- sitting services available and tailor-made activities to suit each family. In the interest of safety, children’s participation in game activities is at the discretion of your guide.

Why Visit

  • If August was ‘big zebra’ month, September must go down as ‘big cat’ month. Guests witnessed several hunts and kills, and then more leopard hoists were located than normal, so most of this month’s report will be based on feline viewing on the concession. September also saw thousands of wildebeest moving through the concession, mostly in a south and westerly direction into the Serengeti National Park, and then many of the very large zebra herds have started giving way to the resident species.

    The tailor-made, overnight safaris range from three to eight nights, differentiated by the duration at each destination and dependent upon availability of accommodation.

The Centre is dedicated to instilling in its students an understanding of the Serengeti Ecosystem and provides education on the rationale behind “protected areas” and on general, local and global environmental issues.

This is my second trip to Grumeti reserve but my first time staying in the mobile tented camp at Lions Rock. The panoramic view that opens up in front of you every morning you wake up to have breakfast is simply breathtaking. On our second day, a mixed herd of zebras and wildebeests came to graze in the open plains.
