With luxury travel, bucket-list trips and wildlife experiences all on trend for 2026, African safari vacations are seeing a natural uptick in interest.
That’s confirmed by Peter Bruins, country manager of Siringit Collection — a portfolio of intimate luxury properties in Tanzania — who says the company has seen increased demand for safaris in general, and for Tanzania travel specifically. In response, the brand has launched Siringit Safaris, a new arm that links its properties with hand-picked partners to create a seamless experience for clients, while saving time and reducing planning stress for travel advisors.
Here, Bruins shares a look at the brand, plus new developments across its portfolio.

Siringit Villa was recently renovated — what was done?
Siringit Villa has evolved into Siringit Villa & Spa following the construction and opening of the Siringit Spa by Healing Earth last June. The spa is operated by Healing Earth, a premium African wellness brand known for its organic products and holistic treatments.
Shortly after, we launched the open-air Bistro No. 5 restaurant ... offering fresh, healthy, modern a-la-carte lunches, and in the evenings, more refined and distinctive dinner menus. Most of our ingredients come straight from our new organic vegetable garden next to the spa, opened in early August last year.
On Dec. 3, we also opened our new state-of-the-art gym. It features modern Fitness First equipment combined with Nord wooden equipment … [plus] a Pilates and yoga studio, a boxing studio and an additional pool.
What will the upcoming refurbishment of Siringit Serengeti Camp entail?
Siringit Serengeti Camp is an award-winning property, named Africa’s Leading Luxury Tented Safari Camp for three consecutive years at the World Travel Awards. The camp is scheduled for renovations in April and May 2026, [remaining open] as the work is done in phases, not disturbing any guests.
The upgrade will include a swimming pool designed to match the camp’s aesthetic and blend seamlessly into the landscape. We’re also expanding the dining and lounge areas; introducing new furniture with an African feel; and creating a more open layout, so clients can enjoy wildlife views from the verandas and take in the Serengeti sunset. The guest tents will be refreshed, keeping the design our visitors already love. We’ll be introducing two presidential suites, each with a plunge pool. The kitchen will also be completely rebuilt, creating a space where guests can watch our chefs at work and take part in cooking classes.
Siringit Serengeti Camp will undergo renovations this April and May.
