This safari lodge is exquisite!
Reminiscent of a grand old colonial home, attention to detail is very apparent.
The cottages 1,2 4 bedrooms are very well appointed with everything one needs at your disposal.
My cottage, Hemingway's 7 is closest to the main building, so the walk is one minute.
The massive bed is super comfortable, complete with mosquito netting.
The bathroom, dressing room, etc are very nice. All toiletries are top quality.
The food is prepared by chefs. I requested a Keto menu at all times, and it was expertly delivered.
The heated, private pool is lovely!
This is an all-inclusive lodge, game drives. Liquor, etc.
Very well recommended.

Located in the northeast of Tanzania on the border of the Serengeti National Park, through which more than a million Wildebeest, Zebra and Thompson’s Gazelle migrate annually. The lodge itself is on a hill, with spectacular views over the grasslands, with a private airstrip for plane access (otherwise it’s a seven-hour drive to Arusha).
Come for the amazing Game Drives, but enjoy so much more. This small all-inclusive hotel has it all and if you stay here you will be made to feel very special.
We are well travelled 5* only bods and a bit fussy. This holiday was one of the best ever….
We came in early June and it was perfect, great weather, low occupancy (6 guests at one point) and a ton of animals to see and photograph. Sure it wasn’t migration season but there was no shortage of Lions, Leopards, Buffalo, Elephants, and tons of other small to large animals… But no Rhino here except a couple in a special no-access local reserve you probably won’t get to glimpse. The Grumeti reserve is very large and you often end up tens of miles from any other humans. The driver has a radio though and a good animal spot is shared with the other cars so it is possible for a couple of other vehicles to turn up to watch a kill for example. We had a car to the two of us and found the safari side to be better than we could ever have imagined with an amazing driver (Nico) and so many animals in “real” wild situations in such vast wilderness…. Wow! Stopping for a G&T with ice! plus a selection of nibbles or Coffee and cake at sundown, amazing memories.
We loved every minute of our time at Sasakwa and wished we had stayed for longer. 3-4 days is ideal if you are going out on two 3 hour game drives each day, but you won’t get enough time to enjoy the lodge and it’s facilities properly. I would stay 4-5 days and miss some game drives to focus on relaxing in the amazing surroundings, drinking cocktails. We changed the timings of some drives to give us a lie in (They are flexible in all matters at Sasakwa and nothing seems too much bother)
Surroundings: The lodge is a sprawling old house with so much character and far larger than it needs to be for so few occupants with all the facilities you could need. Two tennis courts and three shops though.. really ! It is a stunning place in a truly beautiful setting and very romantic indeed. We loved the bush babies at dinner time, the troops of Monkeys and also Baboons that hang around the lodge
Food: you get to choose from a selection at each meal time and they easily accommodate dietary oddities. We found all the food to be of very high standard apart from the goats cheese… which was just odd and not like any I had had before. Not a problem though as there was tons of other stuff to eat and you could ask for more of anything. The puddings were amazing by the way !
We were surprised one day when they arranged a bush picnic in the middle of nowhere. A table full of food, champagne and armed guard appeared as we pulled into a clearing between trees in the middle of nowhere… just magical.
Wine: really good selection of included wines.. pick from the menu or ask for a recommendation. Mostly S.A grown (French champagne is extra)
Room: old fashioned colonial cool with big bed and everything you could need including minibar, port, snacks, coffee etc all included in the cost like everything else… Plunge pool and large patio with Yoga mat and stunning view over the plain below. That view can never be imagined until you see it for yourself !! Fast free wi-fi all over lodge and better cell signal in the bush than I get in Oxford ! I face-timed the kids next to a pride of Lions Ha Ha !!
Service: Amazing all round. All staff seem to want you to have a nice time and are well trained. Tanzanian people are very nice in general we found. Management team were white South Africans, very professional and super friendly.
