Singita Sasakwa Lodge

As far as luxury hotels and safari lodges in Tanzania go, Singita Sasakwa Lodge is hard to beat.

A heavenly oasis in Singita Grumeti located at the outer edges of the Serengeti, Sasakwa Lodge is surrounded by endless savannahs in 350,000 acres of private wilderness. It's among the best lodges out there for travelers hoping to connect with nature but who prefer to rest their heads in sustainable, opulent surroundings.

Game viewing is a commonplace here, and you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of something without so much as leaving the lodge. When you're not keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife, you'll likely spend your time cooling off in the pool, digging into Tanzanian treats, walking, working out, watching the sun go down from the deck or visiting the Grumeti Fund’s (Singita’s NGO partner) headquarters.

Singita Sasakwa Lodge takes inspiration from traditional manors, with Swahili influences apparent throughout each lodge. Wicker chairs sit alongside stately four-poster beds, and every room is packed with cream-colored upholstery and an eclectic mix of furniture.

The luxury lodges here are akin to cottages, and their two, three, and four-bedroom offerings are perfectly suited to families. If you want an even more exclusive experience, the split-level suite for two, Hillside Suite, complete with a private butler and pool, is sure to fit the bill.

On the Singita Grumeti Game Drive you can spot lions as well as so many other amazing wildlife species.

Xanadu Villas & Retreat

Few luxury hotels in Zanzibar offer the privacy and serenity that Xanadu does with its nine exquisite villas.

Perched right on the beachfront on the island's east coast, Xanadu has an idyllic location steps from the powdery white sands and sparkling turquoise waters. Each villa is close enough to the sea to hear the waves yet secluded enough to provide a level of intimacy.

You won't need to lift a finger during your stay, as your private butler will be on hand to ensure your visit is as stress-free and pleasurable as possible. Not only that, but you can also schedule a treatment at the open-plan spa area and delicious meals at the world-class restaurant run by local and international chefs.

Every villa at Xanadu is more luxurious than the last, and you'll enjoy all the amenities of an upmarket lodging in Tanzania but in complete privacy. Plunge pools, lush gardens, and spacious living areas are prerequisites for all rooms. Though the decor is contemporary, the colorful patterns and rustic wooded touches are a subtle nod to Tanzanian culture.
