Built in the style of a stately Edwardian manor house and featuring a light and airy atmosphere, Sasakwa offers panoramic views, a sense of immense freedom, and stillness.
The Serengeti stretches endlessly from here. Plains roll outward, dissolving into a horizon that burns orange at dawn and dusk, and mighty thunderstorms flash intermittently in the distance. From the comfort of Sasakwa, you need only marvel. The breeze moves freely through tall doors and across wide lawns, carrying a sense of ease.
Light shifts through long rooms lined with books, photographs, and artefacts that speak to the region’s rich heritage. Gathering spaces draw you both outdoors and in, wherever you’re called to. Sasakwa is grand yet gently welcoming, an extension of the expansive views, deeply connected to the ecosystem.

Seasons in the Serengeti
East Africa is equatorial so the climate is fairly constant and it is a year-round destination. Tanzania has a light rain season from November to March. This period is known as the ‘short rains’, often no more than a quick downpour each day, followed by clear sunshine. From December to March the weather becomes increasingly warmer with the ‘long rains’ occurring between April and May.
To ensure your comfort you may want to tailor your clothing choices to the time of year:
October – April:
Casual summer clothing (shorts and lightweight shirts) with a warm jersey or sweater for the cooler morning and evening temperatures.
May – September:
Casual lightweight clothing with a very warm parka or windbreaker jacket for the very cold mornings and nights.
WHAT TO PACK
*Our airline partners require that you travel with soft-sided luggage (max 15kg/33lb per person).
