8 motivi per visitare la Riserva Singita Grumeti

Un'insospettabile oasi nascosta a nord-ovest del Serengeti, la Singita Grumeti Reserve è un segreto ben custodito dagli amanti dei safari. La lontananza del sito e il numero limitato di visitatori e di sviluppi nella zona hanno lasciato la riserva quasi completamente indomita e non influenzata dal tocco dell'uomo. È un eden di pace dove gli animali vivono allo stato brado e sono liberi di vagare per la savana, lontano dalle folle di turisti che ogni anno si riversano nei parchi nazionali. Con i suoi pochi lodge di lusso e le sue esperienze di safari uniche, Singita Grumeti permette di godere di un tour tranquillo ed esclusivo, ma comunque assolutamente emozionante, del nostro amato Serengeti

Covering 411km² of the bush, this secluded site is a prime spot to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration as they roam from the endless plains of the Serengeti on their way to the Maasai Mara. While probably less famous than the Mara River crossing, the reserve is also witnessing some jaw-snapping action as millions of wildebeest attempt to pass the Grumeti River and its hungry crocodiles. Singita Grumeti Reserve is also home to the Big Five: the lion, the leopard, the rhino, the elephant, and the African buffalo which can easily be spotted either on a game drive or while soaring above the golden plains on a giro in mongolfiera.

Informazioni sulla Riserva Singita Grumeti

The Grumeti Game Reserve was founded in 1994 by the government of Tanzania in an effort to protect the Great Wildebeest Migration routes from possible developments. The conservation rights have, since 2002, been bestowed upon the Grumeti Fund which is now in charge of managing and protecting its flourishing bio-diversity. Despite its small surface and remote location, the Singita Grumeti Reserve Game is a vital part of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The home of an abundance of different indigenous species, the locals, professional conservationists, and tour operators all join forces in maintaining and honoring this sanctuary.  

The region is mostly secluded but boasts a selection of luxury eco-lodges and campsites that are sure to awaken your taste for both adventure and fine things. With constant hope for the survival of the Singita Grumeti Reserve, the accommodations are deeply committed to their vision of low-impact tourism focused on sustainability, wildlife conservation, and the protection of the flora. The eco and adventure tourists brought by these lodges greatly contribute to the reserve and its surroundings by providing employment to the local community and the necessary funds to ensure this piece of wilderness remains protected.

Why Visit Singita Grumeti Reserve?

While the Serengeti is famous for its diversity, adventures, and landscape, the Singita Grumeti Reserve is equipped to give you just that and more. Between its booming wildlife, picturesque views, exclusive atmosphere, splendid lodges, and special attractions, there are about a hundred reasons to visit Singita Grumeti Reserve. Here are our top ones:

Grande migrazione

Il Grande migrazione degli gnu is famous for being the largest synchronized animal movement in the world. Over 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles simultaneously embark on a clockwise exodus from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Singita Grumeti Game Reserve is ideally positioned to offer visitors a private viewing of this one-of-a-kind expedition. As they continue their journey towards greener pastures, the hoards risk their lives in the cold and dangerous crossing of the Singita Grumeti Reserve River, home to gigantic Nile crocodiles measuring up to 17 feet. Witnessing this spectacular scene from the safety of a hot air balloon or following the lucky survivors further into the reserve on a game drive is an unforgettable experience.

Sistemazione

State-of-the-art meets the authentic and eco-friendly in the charming lodges and campsites scattered around the Singita Grumeti reserve. The luxurious lodges offer all the comfort and facilities of a hotel with Singita Grumeti Reserve as your garden view. You’ll get the chance to relax after a long day exploring and indulge in the finest food and entertainment. A peaceful and comfortable stay in most of the lodges and campsites includes succulent local and international dishes, refreshing pools to cool down in the summer heat, and unique sleeping accommodations from grand suites to rustic tented bedrooms. When well situated, some lodges can even allow you to witness the wildebeest crossing the river from the comfort and safety of your balcony. Each accommodation also provides its own set of activities ranging from flights in a Hot Air Balloon, bonfires, game drives, guided night walks into the bush, and much more.

Mongolfiera

What better way to enjoy the full extent of the Singita Grumeti Reserve than to marvel at its wonders from the sky? A hot air balloon ride gives you the chance to take flight and be mesmerized by the rolling plains, its numerous feelings of pride of lions, beautiful topography, and, at a specific time of the year, the Great Wildebeest Migration and the Grumeti River crossing. Floating above the bush, you will easily be able to spot giraffes feeding from the acacia trees, leopards hunting in the tall grass, troops of beautiful black and white colobus monkeys in the Riverine forest, hippos and crocodiles in the river, and much more. Cross two things off your bucket list at once by embarking on a safari in mongolfiera attraverso l'esclusiva Riserva di Grumeti.

Fauna

The Singita Grumeti Reserve is well-known for its diverse ecosystem and booming wildlife. Spread out over 140,000 hectares, the fauna of the reserve can easily be spotted all year round. Home of the Big Five, Singita Grumeti Reserve is known for the regular sighting of its impressive pride of lions. These carnivores are often spotted lounging in groups in the short grass or resting in the branches of low trees. The passage of the Great Migration naturally invites all the big cats to come out and play. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs as well as hyenas and wild dogs all converge on the plains in search of their next meal.

Singita Grumeti Reserve also boasts an equally wide range of herbivores that often fall prey to the many predators that roam the plains. Giraffes, impalas, zebras, wildebeests, waterbucks, antelopes, and more share the fresh grass and water holes of the reserve. Herds of elephants also stomp through the plains of Grumeti in large numbers, sometimes reaching up to 50 per group. These gentle giants have even been spotted casually drinking from the pools of some lodges to the delight of the residents.

Nella regione fluviale, le scimmie colobo bianche e nere hanno preso dimora tra i fitti alberi della foresta. Tra i primati meno aggressivi che si possano trovare, questi erbivori sono soliti giocare sugli alberi, usare i rami come trampolini o prendere pigramente il sole.

A brilliant mix of vivid yellow, orange, pink, and purple, watching the sun peak over the horizon, silhouetting the acacia trees is a spectacle you will never forget.

Un Serengeti privato

Far from the throngs of tourists pouring into national parks, the Singita Grumeti Reserve is a unique opportunity to experience a private tour of the Serengeti. Having suffered close to no human alterations, Grumeti has no road and allows for a real adventure with its off-road game drives. What one can observe from a hot air balloon’s vantage point is a totally wild and untouched bush; a real haven where animals and humans are free to roam.

Covid-19 Precautions in Singita Grumeti Reserve

Camminare

To enjoy a different safari experience, a walking guided tour is a great way to observe the reserve’s booming flora and fauna up close. Qualified guides and trackers will help you learn about the diverse variety of colorful birds as well as indigenous plants and their many uses. You might also get the chance to see some giraffes feeding on nearby trees, elephants playing in the waterholes, and many other memorable encounters. The safety of visitors is a priority and bush walks are only allowed when accompanied by guides who have experience in exploring areas with dangerous wildlife.

Fotosafari

The Singita Grumeti Reserve is famous for its impressive wildlife, the area is one of the most diversely populated regions in Africa. Game drives provide an amazing opportunity to witness and follow the Great Wildebeest Migration. You can also book a special night drive with a qualified tour operator and discover the safari experience after sundown when the plains have cooled from the day’s harsh sun and the animals come out of the shade. Game-driven vehicles are usually equipped with torches and lamps to help you spot the different animals in the bush.

I periodi migliori per visitare Grumeti

While the Grumeti Game Reserve is a real treat all year round, the best time to visit could vary from person to person. For some, the period of June to July is the best as it offers a certain chance of spotting the Great Wildebeest Migration having just crossed the Mara River on their way North. During these months, you will get the opportunity to witness millions of wildebeests, gazelles, and impalas as they attempt to pass the Grumeti River to reach green pastures.

Sebbene Grumeti sia una località tranquilla e raramente affollata per i safari, alcuni viaggiatori preferiscono comunque visitarla tra settembre e ottobre. Poiché la migrazione è già passata attraverso la riserva, alcuni gruppi di gnu possono ancora essere visti aggirarsi nella boscaglia insieme ad altri animali. Questo periodo è solitamente più adatto ai visitatori che preferiscono una stagione un po' meno intensa.

If you can’t fly out to Grumeti during these few months, this is not a problem. The reserve has a lot of wonderful sightings and expeditions to offer all year round.
