Accommodation:
Singita Sasakwa Lodge is
one of three Singita lodges in this enormous private concession (340
000 acres), which means that youll have this wild stretch of Africa
all to yourself. Sasakwa Lodge is built in the style of an Edwardian
manor house. Stone walls, deep verandas, high ceilings, stately
furniture, silverware and ornamental pieces complete the picture.
Sasakwa Lodge is built on the top of
Sasakwa Hill, adjacent to the western corridor of the Serengeti. The
property is built in the style of a turn-of-the-century east African
ranch house and every effort has been made to celebrate the
spectacular views of the Serengeti plains below. The interiors
celebrate nature and the colors of the bush, yet Sasakwa boasts the
elegant feel of a gentleman's club contrasted with fantastic
Venetian mirrors and crystal chandeliers. At Sasakwa you will find
every comfort, including delicious meals, award-winning wines and a
wealth of activities. |
