For the fifth consecutive year, the Serengeti Girls Run will be one of the continent’s most-anticipated adventures – with runners from all over the world lacing up to take part in this iconic journey through the savannas and grasslands of Singita’s private concession in the Serengeti.

Celebrating the mouthwatering gourmet experiences at Singita’s lodges and camps and paying homage to the talented individuals who make its culinary offerings come to life, Singita: Our Food Journey is a specialist safari cookbook unlike any other. Frank and Donna Louw met in Singita’s kitchens many years ago and they compiled this beautiful book with Georgina Pennington, Head of Creative Direction at Singita. Frank and Donna played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s gourmet evolution, with expert input from Group Executive Chef, Andrew Nicholson, and the acclaimed South African chef Liam Tomlin, who regularly collaborates with Singita to infuse its menus with fresh ideas.

This intimate and much-loved tented camp, situated on a dramatic riverbend in the northernmost tip of the Serengeti, is set to be reinvigorated when its bold and playful new look is revealed on 1 June 2023.

Long coveted by those who cherish a small and intimate tented experience in one of the continent’s most spectacular wilderness settings, the location of Singita Mara River Tented Camp (MRTC) on a dramatic riverbend in the northernmost tip of the Serengeti has been amplified with its new look, revealed on 1 June.

A world of opportunity awaits at Singita’s Rwandan culinary school The excitement is palpable among the 10 students of the inaugural class of the newly opened Singita Community Culinary School in Rwanda, and there’s no shortage of passion as they set to work acquiring the sought-after skills and industry-revered know-how that will see them soar in this exciting and competitive arena.

Driven by a 100-year purpose that seeks to protect Africa’s land and its flora and fauna for future generations, Singita is committed to the continued conservation of the continent’s most iconic landscapes. Now, Singita is taking this philosophy a step further by partnering with White Desert Antarctica and One&Only to offer guests an adventure like no other; a series of unique encounters with the wildlife that define some of the world’s most precious wild places.

Protecting Africa’s leopards has become a conservation issue of increasing importance. Panthera, one of Singita’s non-profit conservation partners, estimates that this once-widespread species has vanished from at least 49% of its historic range on the continent and is already extinct in six countries, and possibly six more.

The culinary experience at Singita’s lodges and camps is an integral part of any visit to these incredible wilderness areas. And, every plate is an expression of the company’s commitment not only to creating an outstanding food offering that perfectly complements the exquisite surroundings in which guests find themselves, but to the importance of practising environmental sustainability at every level, including in the kitchens. For the first time, and in celebration of the brand’s gourmet evolution, Singita has brought together traditional and more contemporary African-inspired recipes in a beautiful, 274-page cookbook, giving you a taste of safari at home.

This year’s event – the second in this series of Safaris with a Purpose – has just wrapped up and was a resounding success. This all-women run across the Serengeti wilderness raised funds and awareness for the Grumeti Fund’s girl and women empowerment programmes; a range of initiatives specifically aimed at providing opportunities for women in conservation, local commerce and community leadership.

As elusive as leopards may be, their legendary adaptability has fostered a belief that they are widespread both inside and outside of protected areas. As a result, the species has received little conservation attention to date but loss of habitat and prey, coupled with high levels of demand for skins, is threatening the species’ very existence. Singita’s research work with Panthera, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of big cats the world over, seeks to better understand their behaviour and population dynamics; information which will help to drive positive policy changes that will keep healthy numbers of leopards in the wild for future generations.

For humankind to thrive, the environment has to, too. And the inverse is also true. At Singita, our commitment to the long-term welfare of planet and people informs all of our operations, and the growing urgency and increased emphasis on immediate and drastic action is pivotal in shaping our policies.

Singita’s roots in Africa have always informed its vision for the future, and the creativity of its people inspires the heart and soul of our spaces. These all-important links to the history and heritage of Africa resonate profoundly with our guests.

As a company built on the foundations of sustainability and with a 100-year purpose to preserve and protect large areas of African wilderness for future generations, Singita aims to champion programmes and initiatives that drive equality and upliftment.

Tanzania: Singita and Grumeti Fund, its conservation partner in Tanzania, have partnered to create the second Wagora Bike Ride, an adventure across the Singita Grumeti reserve in Tanzania, from 27 October to 1 November 2025.

Botswana: As our presence in Africa gradually and naturally grows, we are privileged to be expanding into Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

Designed to embrace the movement of the global food scene towards sustainable sourcing, ethical provenance and the proliferation of artisanal cooking techniques, the dining concept at Singita Sweni Lodge brings international culinary trends to a far-flung corner of the African bush. This sophisticated approach heroes local ingredients, which are paired with more unusual flavours and unexpected methods of preparation

One of the most inspiring things about going on safari is how being in step with nature makes you find your own rhythm too, and at Singita, guests can shape the flow of each day according to what resonates with them most.

An eight-year old 1,157 kilogram eastern black rhino bull from San Diego Zoo has been successfully translocated by the Singita Grumeti Fund to the western Serengeti, in an effort to save this critically endangered species from extinction. The epic 68-hour journey spanned five countries, requiring three aeroplanes and two trucks.

For more than a quarter of a century, Singita has been raising the bar for sustainable and eco-friendly tourism. What began as a boutique safari lodge built on family-owned land in South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve 26 years ago, has become a game-changing collection of environmentally sensitive properties that redefines the luxury safari experience.

Spanning 33,000 acres, Singita’s private concession on the eastern edge of the Kruger National Park in South Africa is known for its dramatic landscape as well as a high concentration of iconic African wildlife. Abundant prey and a favourable habitat draw many big cats to the area, not least of all being eight imposing prides of lion and the interlopers who battle them for territory. Often referred to as “Lebombo: Land of Lions”, after the Lebombo mountain ridge that dissects the concession, it is one of the best places in the world to see these beautiful creatures surrounded by nature.
