Travel Spotting: The Most Luxurious African Hotel

Written by Casey

The most luxurious African hotel. Actually though.

Ladies and gentlemen may I present to you, the Singita Mara River Tented Camp. The new camp located in Tanzania is a contemporary take on the classic East African safari that offers a pared-down approach to the quintessential Singita experience. Run entirely on solar power, the camp reflects Singita’s commitment to greater sustainability.

The Lamai triangle is a prime safari location with its concentrated population of wildlife and breathtaking views of the annual wildebeest migration. With just six tents, two of which are for families, Singita Mara River Tented Camp’s remote location epitomizes Singita’s eco-driven philosophy of preserving iconic locations by offering “fewer beds in larger areas.” Designed by Cécile & Boyd’s, the camp aims to further immerse visitors into the wilderness around them with natural textures and local textile patterns. The look is cool, modern, edgy and fun without losing the elegant yet relaxed, feet-up style that defines the Singita brand.

While being immersed in the African safari backdrop, guests are treated to the luxurious furnishings that are featured in the lounge, dining area as well as outside seating, a sundowner bar tent and plunge pool. Guests are served healthy and light cuisine to refresh and reenergize the body. Restorative fresh fruit smoothies, iced Fair Trade coffees and teas, crunchy salads and ethically sourced ingredients, such as organic eggs and grass-fed meat are the order of the day, with luscious desserts and homemade ice cream adding a touch of sweet decadence.

Focused on eco-conscious hospitality, sustainable conservation and evolving local communities, Singita’s vision is to share a unique part of the world while respecting the natural environment and challenging today’s notion of luxury.
