Three thousand zebras, that is the amount of zebras Herman (general manager at Singita Sabora) estimated were right in front of the camp a day before we arrived.

When my husband and I decided to visit Sabora, we didn’t know that besides visiting the quintessential African camp, we were going to be sharing our personal space with lions, zebras and buffalo’s. An experience I cannot put into words.

The camp is located in the Serengeti Plains, with no wall to separate your tent from the wild Serengeti, the lions roar and hyenas laugh right outside your tent. The thrill of knowing there isn’t much separating the comfort inside from the wildlife outside is a constant adrenaline rush.

Sabora’s style is reminiscent to a 1920’s British explorers camp. The opulence of the decor mixed with the canvas tents are utterly dreamy. Everything from sterling silver serving ware and Persian rugs, to crystal drink ware, the camp sets the bar high for any other camp across the African continent.

Sabora is conveniently located only 45 minutes away by car from Sasakwa private Airport, Faru Faru Lodge and Sasakwa Lodge. It has 9 identical tents (two of them connected for families) that are decorated with antique memorabilia from the first British settlers in the Serengeti.

Sabora is perfect for the adventure travelers. The location and style of the camp make it uniquely dangerous compared to other African camps (my favorite trait about it), so children under the age of 10 are encouraged not to go. No one is allowed to walk alone around the camp, a security ranger will escort you with a rifle everywhere you go, which made my African adventure even more wild.
