Getting There

1-hour and 15-minute flight from Arusha (ARK) to Sasakwa Airstrip

Singita operates a private gravel airstrip. A lodge guide meets you on landing with an open safari vehicle for a scenic 10-minute drive uphill to the lodge.

The Playbook

Private Concession Night Drive

Because Sasakwa sits on a private reserve, night safaris are allowed. Coordinate with your guide for a departure at 8:00 PM to search for active leopards and lions.

Good to Know

Exclusive Concession Traversing & High Elevation

Sasakwa sits atop a high hill, receiving strong breezes which keep rooms cool but can feel very cold in winter mornings. Private reserve rules mean off-roading is permitted under strict conservation guidelines.
