Louise Heyns, a pastry chef at Singita Sabora Tented Camp, grew up in Stellenbosch and kicked off her career at some of the culinary hot-spots of the Cape Winelands before joining the team at Singita Grumeti. She is responsible for planning the day’s menu and preparing the high tea spread served in the late afternoon; a food experience that is often accompanied with a delicious and refreshing cocktail.
Singita’s commitment to conservation, development and community outreach come together in perfect harmony in the establishment of the Environmental Educational Centre (EEC) in Tanzania. The Centre serves to engage and educate the community’s next generation of leaders on the importance of a balanced, sustainable ecosystem. The EEC conducts approximately 25 week-long courses per year which are attended by 300 youth from the 26 secondary schools in the districts which border Singita Grumeti.
One of the most successful ongoing community development projects at Singita Grumeti is the Grumeti Horticultural and Marketing Co-op Society (GHOMACOS), supplying the lodge kitchens with a constant flow of high-quality, freshly harvested, locally grown vegetables, herbs and fruits.
Singita Sasakwa Lodge, located in the Grumeti Reserves in northern Tanzania, is a slice of heaven, if we say so ourselves! The majestic views of the Serengeti from its position atop a hill and the old-world elegance of the nostalgic manor house decor make this lodge a true celebration of comfort and luxury. Ms.
