Kilima Luxury Lodge

Grumeti Game Reserve, Tanzania

An Intimate Serengeti Retreat at Singita Kilima

Set atop a remote ridge with commanding views over the Serengeti plains, Singita Kilima is a sanctuary of refined seclusion. Designed as a private-use villa for up to ten guests, this elegant lodge embodies Singita’s commitment to sustainable luxury and unforgettable safari experiences. Earth-toned interiors, raw textures, and sculptural furnishings combine to create a space that feels both grounded and elevated, blending effortlessly with its wild surroundings.

Each of the five expansive suites features floor-to-ceiling windows, sumptuous furnishings, and an en suite bathrooms complete with freestanding tub and outdoor shower. Wide terraces and open-plan living areas offer uninterrupted vistas, perfect for sunrise coffees or starlit dinners prepared by your private chef. With a full team including a host, chef, and dedicated guide, every element of your stay is entirely bespoke.

Days at Kilima are shaped around you. Venture into the Grumeti Reserve on exclusive game drives to track lion, elephant, and cheetah, or explore on foot with expert guides. Back at the lodge, relax in the infinity pool or unwind with a massage under the acacia trees. The culinary experience is equally tailored, with fresh, seasonal dishes enjoyed wherever you choose—on the deck, in the bush, or beside the fire.

Singita Kilima is ideal for families or small groups seeking an immersive and deeply personal encounter with the Serengeti. It’s where timeless landscapes meet intuitive service, offering an experience that is as soulful as it is spectacular.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
