About Singita

Singita - The Place of Miracles

Nine bench-mark setting Lodges make up the Singita Portfolio. There are five in South Africa (Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni in the Kruger National Park itself and Singita Ebony, Singita Boulders and Singita Castleton in the exclusive Sabi Sand Reserve), three in Tanzania (Singita Faru Faru, Singita Sabora Tented Camp and Singita Sasakwa) and one in Zimbabwe (Singita Pamushana).

A deep inhalation of breath was required as I stepped into my colossally cool suite – can safaris really be this stylish? Singita and a handful of other lodges have broken the mould and set the bar for modern, luxury game lodges in Africa. And it's not just about the luxury - it's about the scrumptious food, expert rangers, personal touches and the quality of the game drives and viewing.

The wildlife is pure. Luxury accommodation and dining are as essential to your Singita experience as the Big 5. The celebrated executive chefs fuse local ingredients with a contemporary international style. The food is prepared with devotion to each guest’s personal taste. Oh, and if you get bored of the Big Five, there are libraries, gyms, spa, wine cellars and of course swimming pools aplenty…

Singita (‘place of miracles’) is world-renowned for providing ‘the best safari experience in Africa’ and has notched up virtually every hotel and travel award since its inception in the mid-90's.

The balance of hospitality, conservation and community is what sets Singita apart. Since the early1900s, when the Bailes family first had the vision of what is Singita today, they have been able to share a truly unique part of the world in a manner which is totally sustainable and highly respectful of the natural environment.

Singita also believes in ‘fewer beds in larger areas’: the idea being that fewer guests would have little impact on the land and its fauna and flora. This benefits the environment but also makes for up-close, intimate experiences – guests can really interact with their surroundings and learn more about our conservation principles.

Another important focus of Singita is dedication to the local communities. It is so important to generate prosperity and assist in social upliftment. Thus far, a number of successful development initiatives have made a significant difference to the lives of many people surrounding the Singita properties.
