Serengeti Girls Run
All our conservation work, including this project, is born of our love for Africa and our need to protect it. Become a part of preserving Africa’s legacy for future generations.
Run across the Serengeti to raise funds for girls’ empowerment programmes in rural Tanzania.
Dates: 23 – 29 October 2026
For the ninth consecutive year, runners of all fitness levels are invited to join this all-women run across Singita’s Grumeti concession. The event involves a flexible, multi-stage distance of 21 kilometres per day.
Along the way, participants can engage with local girls and the Grumeti Fund’s teams to learn about their work in the region. When the day’s running is done, they can unwind at Sabora, where the pool overlooks a busy waterhole and the tents and dining spaces open onto the plains. Nights are spent around the fire, swapping stories under the stars.
More than a run, it’s an invitation to connect deeply with the landscape, its people, and a future being shaped one young woman at a time. Attend a career fair for local high school girls, meet the Grumeti Fund’s Anti-Poaching Canine Unit, take a tour of the centre for Research and Innovation for the Serengeti Ecosystem (RISE), and go on evening drives across the concession, observing wildlife and witnessing the iconic Serengeti sunset.

Conservation Partner
Grumeti Fund
As the custodian of more than 350,000 acres of the world-renowned Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania, Singita’s partnership with Grumeti Fund has had a profound impact on the Serengeti ecosystem. The non-profit Grumeti Fund carries out wildlife conservation and community development programs in and around the Singita Grumeti Reserve.
Faced with challenges including uncontrolled illegal hunting, rampant wildfires and spreading strands of invasive alien vegetation when they took over the management of the area in 2003, the Fund dedicated itself to transform severely depleted wildlife numbers into thriving populations once more. Restoring this once barren and highly degraded region to a flourishing wilderness, their successes include the remarkable recovery of many species – including buffalo, wildebeest and elephant populations, and in 2019, the Fund carried out the largest single relocation and reintroduction of 9 critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino.
The non-profit Fund is fiscally independent in its conservation and community project operations. Funds are derived in the form of donations from Singita guests, NGOs and philanthropists seeking to make a lasting contribution to the sustainability of conservation work in Africa.
