Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Wins Best Spa Resort – Africa at The Global Spa Awards 2026

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti has been awarded Best Spa Resort – Africa at The Global Spa Awards by The Luxury Spa Edit 2026.

Organised by The Luxury Spa Edit, a leading global spa and wellness platform, the awards celebrate excellence in luxury spa experiences around the world. Nominees are selected by a panel of leading spa and wellness experts, while the final winners are determined by public vote, making the recognition a powerful endorsement from both industry specialists and spa guests alike.

This latest honour follows the Lodge’s success in 2025, when its Kani Spa was recognised as Best Retreat Spa in Africa, further reinforcing the Lodge’s reputation as one of the continent’s most exceptional wellness destinations.

Set within the breathtaking wilderness of Serengeti National Park, Kani Spa draws inspiration from the region’s remarkable ecology and the restorative power of nature. The spa offers an immersive wellness experience designed to harmonise mind, body, and spirit while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush.

“At Kani Spa, the experience has always been about true wellbeing and wellness – encouraging guests to become more aware and to make choices that support a healthy and fulfilling life,” says Islam Mahmoud, Spa Manager at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti. “Wellness is not simply the absence of illness; it is the harmony of mind, body, and soul with nature. Receiving this recognition is a wonderful testament to the dedication of our team and the unique connection to nature we are able to offer our guests here in the Serengeti.”

Kani Spa features six treatment rooms, all designed for couples and each offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding bush and the soothing natural soundscape of the Serengeti. Treatments are delivered by internationally certified spa therapists, ensuring world-class expertise combined with warm and intuitive service.

Among the spa’s distinctive offerings is Serengeti Stillness, a unique sound healing experience designed to create deep relaxation and connection through the gentle resonance of traditional instruments such as rainsticks and marimba.

The spa’s signature treatments also celebrate local traditions and indigenous ingredients. The Kifaa Massage delivers deep tension relief using a heated rungu – a traditional Maasai warrior’s wooden baton – combined with nourishing baobab “tree of life” oil. Meanwhile, the Ancestral Rituals collection honours regional wisdom through treatments such as Ubuntu, a synchronised four-hand massage using neroli and baobab oils, and Tree of Life, a restorative ritual inspired by the longevity and resilience of the baobab tree.

Designed with a focus on natural beauty and sustainability, Kani Spa blends seamlessly into its surroundings, allowing guests to reconnect with themselves and the rhythms of nature while experiencing one of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.

This latest recognition further cements Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti as a leading destination for luxury wellness in Africa, where transformative spa experiences unfold against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Serengeti.
