Lamai
Singita Mara River Tented Camp is located on the northern banks of the world-renowned Mara River in the Lamai triangle.
Wildebeest cross the Mara River at various points and the camp’s unique location provides spectacular opportunities to view the crossings.
This area boasts one of the highest year-round concentrations of wildlife in the Serengeti National Park, thanks to its distinctive soil composition.
This includes resident plains game, big cats and elephant, in addition to enormous populations of crocodile and hippo in the Mara River. Singita Mara River Tented Camp was built “off-the-grid”, seeking to eliminate the unnecessary use of energy and non-biodegradable materials.
The camp instead relies on a custom designed solar power system and the use of only recycled and natural materials.

Conservation at Singita Serengeti
The Serengeti plains teem with wildlife, including vast herds of plains game, a plethora of predators and the spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration.
As the custodian of more than 350,000 acres of the world-renowned Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania, Singita’s partnership with Grumeti Fund has had a profound impact on the Serengeti ecosystem. The non-profit Grumeti Fund carries out wildlife conservation and community development programs in and around the Singita Grumeti Reserve.
Faced with challenges including uncontrolled illegal hunting, rampant wildfires and spreading strands of invasive alien vegetation when they took over the management of the area in 2003, the Fund dedicated itself to transform severely depleted wildlife numbers into thriving populations once more. Restoring this once barren and highly degraded region to a flourishing wilderness, their successes include the remarkable recovery of many species – including buffalo, wildebeest and elephant populations, and in 2019, the Fund carried out the largest single relocation and reintroduction of 9 critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino.
The non-profit Fund is fiscally independent in its conservation and community project operations. Funds are derived in the form of donations from Singita guests, NGOs and philanthropists seeking to make a lasting contribution to the sustainability of conservation work in Africa.
