ENVI Sisini Serengeti Opens with Luxury and Harmony

Deep in the vibrant heart of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, a new world of luxury and adventure has emerged with ENVI SISINI Serengeti, the latest addition to the ENVI Lodges portfolio, opening its doors to discerning guests.

This sophisticated tented camp, immersed in one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, redefines the quintessential safari experience.

A hidden sanctuary in the wild

Nestled within Tanzania’s captivating bushland, ENVI SISINI Serengeti offers a sanctuary for those seeking an extraordinary back-to-nature escape. With only 11 luxury tents and tented villas perched on a hill, the expansive savannah views are breath-taking.

This remote location is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream, home to lions, leopards, rhinoceros, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more. Situated within the migration loop, the area serves as a prime hunting ground for these majestic creatures, ensuring guests are never far from the action.

The absence of fences means a resident pride of lions, and many other indigenous animals, often roam around the lodge, adding to the thrill of this private safari experience.

Luxury and nature in harmony

At ENVI SISINI Serengeti, luxury seamlessly blends with nature, with tents and tented villas occupying exclusive spaces for privacy. Each features a wooden deck overlooking the savannah vistas, which are best experienced at dawn and dusk.

They are furnished with four-poster beds, outdoor showers and bathtubs, as well as private plunge pools. The six one-bedroom tented villas suit couples seeking an intimate retreat, while a spacious two-bedroom unit with pool caters to families, complemented by a private butler service.

For those eager to fully immerse themselves in the Serengeti’s rugged charm, the lodge offers one two-bedroom family tent and three one-bedroom tents, providing an authentic and upscale camping experience in the wilderness.

An unforgettable journey

Located just a one-hour drive from the Seronera airstrip, ENVI SISINI Serengeti is easily accessible, yet it feels worlds away. The journey to the lodge itself is a prelude to the adventure, offering glimpses of the Serengeti’s diverse wildlife from the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with refreshing beverages, cold towels, and the warm hospitality of the local Tanzanian team.

An elegant and experiential lodge

Lodge amenities enhance the guest experience while maintaining a sense of understated elegance and include a welcoming, open-plan reception area, a restaurant serving local cuisine, a lounge, two bars, and a wine cellar.

A two-level fire pit area is a cosy gathering place, while a treatment room and a gym ensure guests can relax and rejuvenate. Outdoor culinary experiences are a highlight, ranging from sunrise safari breakfasts to bespoke bush dinners on the ‘koppie’ (hill), with the in-house chef crafting seasonal dishes with a Tanzanian twist.

A commitment to responsible tourism

Nods to ENVI Lodges’ founding brand values – protecting wildlife, the mindful use of resources, and supporting local communities – are evident throughout ENVI SISINI Serengeti. The lodge uses solar power for energy, sources fresh produce from local villages and farms, and provides every guest with a refillable water bottle on arrival.

Bathroom amenities are sourced from an all-women corporation that creates skincare products from carefully selected African-grown botanicals, oils, and essences, all made by hand. All team members are local Tanzanians, honouring ENVI’s commitment to support communities. The service at ENVI SISINI Serengeti is therefore genuine and attentive, with guests introduced to local Serengeti life through Swahili songs and Tanzanian hospitality from the heart.

A transformative safari experience

ENVI SISINI Serengeti offers more than just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to a transformative Tanzanian journey. Paul Jordaan, Executive Director of ENVI Lodges, encapsulates this vision: “ENVI SISINI Serengeti epitomises our dedication to creating unparalleled experiences that blend luxury, nature, and adventure in remote locations. From breath-taking landscapes to awe-inspiring wildlife encounters, every aspect of the lodge is designed to offer visitors a profound connection with the natural world.”
