The award is a great recognition
for Singita Grumeti after readers and visitors voted it the best in terms of its majestic location
adjacent to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, the home of the Great Migration. Every year,
Travel + Leisure asks readers to vote based on their travel experiences
around the world.
According to the statement
unveiled to the East African Business week that readers rated properties on
their rooms, facilities, food, service and overall experience from the time of
booking through to departure from the property.
Singita Grumeti was voted no.1 in
the Private Lodges & Camps category. Readers loved the breathtaking
vastness and beauty of the 350,000 acre reserve.
The serenity and solitude amidst
the splendour can only be experienced in order to be believed and guests also
value Singita's environmentally conscious hospitality and sustainable
conservation which plays a big part in preserving Tanzania's heritage for
future generations.
The award winning staff at
Singita Grumeti consistently delivers personalised service that leaves one in utmost awe.
"Nowhere delivers the safari experience quite like Singita Grumeti"
quotes a reader's comments.
Commenting on the award, Singita
COO Mark Witney, said: "The Travel + Leisure Awards are particularly
prestigious in the world of travel because they are the result of a readers’
poll.
Readers of the magazine are asked
to rate hotels and lodges they may recently have stayed at and so the outcome
does not reflect the personal preferences of a travel writer but the real
experiences of guests.
In 2015 Singita Sabi Sand in
South Africa was voted “Best in Africa and the Middle East” and it is a source
of great pride to us that our Tanzanian lodges receive the award for 2016"
"As a group, Singita aspires
to become the foremost conservation company in Africa, protecting important
wildlife areas for future generations. To achieve sustainable conservation and
community projects we need to have a successful tourism product and the Travel
+ Leisure Award is an incredible endorsement.
Tanzania too should be proud of
how this positions tourism in the country" Mr Witney added. This is
particularly good news for Tanzania as this is the kind of standard that will
benefit tourism in the country.
