“This authentic and nostalgic camp, rooted in nature, brings you close to the elements while giving a contemporary nod to the original explorer safaris of East Africa. ” — Singita
This is very much a back-to-basics mobile camp. Designed for absolutely minimal environmental impact, treading lightly on the reserve, Signita guests are hosted by a team that includes a private guide, camp host, chef, and camp staff.
Singita Explore has six spacious canvas hideaways and two large tents for dining and relaxation. This allows for two individual mobile camps to be operated at the same time, depending on the number of guests. As few as two people can book one camp and have complete privacy—with the second camp set up elsewhere in the reserve for a separate party.
The tents are enchanting as much as they are practical. All have luxurious, layered interiors by Cécile & Boyd’s, where attention to detail is paramount: from plentiful throws and cushions to books and delightfully scented bathroom amenities. The tents have an en suite bathroom with a hot bucket shower and a flush toilet which is perfectly adequate—the kind of luxury that comes from the simplicity of the experience.
Singita Explore reshaped tented accommodation in the wilderness into an experience that caters to modern sensibility. It is camping, but with all the creature comforts and attentive service so essential to a true boutique hotel experience.
“There are places […] that still exist—wide and untouched expanses of an unchanged world—as a reminder of ageless wonder and beauty. And it was to play a part in preserving the quiet majesty of these places that Singita was created.”
— L.Bailey
Singita Explore Mobile Tented Camp offers a true journey in the African wilderness, where days are spent exploring the savannah with its abundance of game, and nights are filled with the haunting songs of hyenas.
Such a return to the simplicity and authenticity of safari life is unique and unforgettable: guests can connect with the earth and wildlife as they never have before.
Singita has other camps and lodges in the Grumeti Reserve, and it is a great idea to book different ones for a full and diverse experience of safari. The camps have different styles and are located in very different surroundings. When we stayed here, we combined Sabora Explore with the stay at the Faru Faru Lodge (see our Faru Faru review here) and Singita Sabora Tented Camp. Don’t miss the review and the photo essay from our stay at Sabora.
