Dar es Salaam 16th Sept, 2015 - Singita Serengeti, Tanzania has once again affirmed its status as one of the world's leading hotels, after receiving prestigious accolades from The Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Travel Awards, having been chosen as the “Best hotel in the world for service", taking second place in the “Best Hotels in the Middle East, Africa & Indian Ocean” category, and third place in the “Top 100 Travel Experiences in the World”.
The award is recognition for Singita Serengeti after readers and visitors voted it the best in terms of its majestic location.

"I am extremely proud of my team. We have been working diligently for years making sure that every facet of the business is treated with the utmost care and attention which in turn elevates the guest experience to levels that are truly world class”. He also adds “Tanzania will also benefit hugely as a destination on the world travel calendar as awards such as these bring a lot of positive attention and enormous credibility to the host country".
“Being recognized as the best Hotel in the World for Service from an influential magazine like The Condé Nast Traveller is an honor and it demonstrates that Singita Serengeti is on the right track where hospitality is concerned. Having just recently launched our new campaign to brand Tanzania as one of Africa’s best tourist destinations, I am excited that Singita Serengeti are working very well to promote our tourism and hospitality industry which in turn places Tanzania at a higher position as one of the most preferred destinations in the world” explained Acting Managing Director of Tanzania Tourist Board, Devota Mdachi.
The new campaign and the two Tanzania Tourism promotional tools Mdachi is referring to were officially launched by The President of United Republic of Tanzania, His Excellency Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete. They consisted of a high quality television advert with the tag line of Branding Tanzania as the “The Soul of Africa” and an online Tourism Destination Portal. The new advert will be aired in CNN and BBC for six months from October this year.
