Singita Sasakwa Lodge, Singita Grumeti Game Reserve, Tanzania

If you're bored by the beach…

At Singita Sasakwa Lodge, located on the private Singita Grumeti Game Reserve in Tanzania, the African safari experience reaches its apex. Zebra-skin rugs and hand-hewn furniture play nicely alongside chesterfields and chandeliers in the lodge, while the suites (nine cottages and one villa) contain luxuries that Hemingway could only dream about, such as claw-foot tubs, four-poster beds, and infinity pools. The hilltop setting at the edge of the Serengeti provides a taste of what's to come on the twice-daily Land Rover excursions. Guides and trackers have an intimate knowledge of the reserve and recognize many of the animals by sight. And Singita's do-gooder habits, such as funding local small businesses and helping to bring the region's black rhino population back from the brink of extinction, means you can return home with warm fuzzies as well as snapshots of the Big Five.
