Sabora offers opulent Bedouin canvas tents, complete with antique mahogany travel chests, Persian rugs and silk curtains. The elegant lodge is located to ensure 360-degree views of the game-filled plains and blends harmoniously with the surrounding African bush. Luxurious accommodation coupled with flawless service, ensures an unforgettable safari experience.

Accommodation

The intimate Singita Sabora Tented Camp has nine one-bedroomed en-suite tents. The lavish tents are luxuriously furnished, and spaced to ensure seclusion and privacy. Each tent has an open-air shower, dressing area, reading space, and timber viewing deck with a Swarovski spotting scope.

Wildlife

The Serengeti is renowned for the annual wildebeest migration, when two million ungulates move across the plains in search of grazing and water. The predators closely follow the wildebeest and zebra, looking for easy pickings.

The best time to see the Great Annual Migration is February through to March, when the wildebeest and zebra have their young. Not only will guests enjoy seeing baby animals, but the predators are at the highest number too. The migration usually moves out of the Serengeti area by the end of June and does not return until December.

However, the reserve teems with wildlife throughout the year. This includes impalas, Masai giraffe, warthogs, topi, gazelles, hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs and caracals. Guests are treated to frequent sightings of the Big Five during their stay, as well as the rare Colobus monkey. Bat-eared fox and serval are among regularly seen smaller carnivores.

Bird life is prolific, with over 450 species recorded in the region ranging from the huge ostrich to the little spotted woodpecker. Specialties include the Red-capped robin chat and Black-headed gonolek. Other notable sightings include Kori bustards, Secretary birds, Marabou storks, lovebirds, Martial eagles and a variety of vulture species.
