Sabora Plains Tented Camp is located in the Sabora Plains in the Grumeti Reserve. Part of the Singita group, it is twinned with Sasakwa Lodge and Faru Faru Lodge, both of wich are also located within the private concession of the Grumeti Reserve. Similar to Sasakwa Lodge, Sabora has a strong sense of taking you back in time to the colonial era in the 1920's, with the 9 vast air-conditioned tents all set on wooden decks with a veritable ocean of persian rugs and cushions scattered throughout, giving off a rich colour contrast to the surrounding plains.

Large wooden sleigh beds, beautiful swede covered sofa's, antique carved wooden trunks, leather bound books and swathes of silk curtains completing the opulant interiors for each tent. Bored, you will never be - Sabora caters for everyone's needs, with playstations and board games, horse riding, archery, croquet and tennis, being just a few things which you can do over and above your daily game viewing. Recently a fancy spa with its own gym has been added incase anyone thought there wasn't enough on offer already.
As a rule, Singita Lodges generally do not hold back on any extravagence and even your tea and coffee in the morning will still be served using the best silver and china, drinks will be out of cut crystal glasses and as you eat cucumber sandwiches and sup french champagne whilst watching a game of tennis, it is easy to slip back in time and imagine the life once led by the white hunters of the bygone era.
All that aside, given that most of the 'trimmings' you can find in any good hotel around the world, what makes Sabora really worth considering is its wonderful combination of complete freedom, flexibility and exclusivity within some incredible bush country with good game through much of the year. Now that's the REAL treat.
Location - Serengeti and Surrounding Areas
The Serengeti is the best known safari destination in the world with good reason. The proliferation of animal life here simply defies belief and in the company of a good guide, this can be like stepping into a wildlife documentary. We'd advocate building your safari in northern Tanzania around the greater Serengeti, but you do need to be aware that being in the right place at the right time is everything in this neck of the woods. It's worth understanding how the Serengeti works. Jump to page?
