A mere mention of the word Singita is guaranteed to send shivers of anticipation down the spine of even the most world-weary safari hand. A collection of lodges universally acclaimed as design and architectural masterpieces, Singita is internationally renowned for unrivalled luxury and exceptional game viewing. Singita Game Reserve’s award list is so long it is almost tedious; suffice to say it has reaped the travel industry’s top accolades since the moment it opened its doors. In the remote southeast of Kruger National Park, Lebombo and Sweni lodges lie in an immense private concession with an incredible density of wildlife and landscapes veering from rocky splendour and sweeping valleys to riverine forest and sinuous waterways. Described as ‘an eco-Saatchi art installation of steel and glass, glittering water and white day beds’, Singita Lebombo is light years away from classic safari-style. Singita Sweni offers six suites combining polished timber, steel and glass with an essence of Africa that eschews the slightest hint of passé. Set in the much-fêted Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Boulders and Ebony lodges overlook the perennial Sand River from Singita’s private reserve. Deep in the heart of the bush, Singita Boulders is a sleek contemporary lodge with undulating glass walls, vaulted ceilings and nine stunning suites opening onto huge decks with plunge pools. Just upstream, Singita Ebony epitomises modern colonial elegance, with another nine suites that include glasswalled bathrooms, double-sided fireplaces and plunge pools sunk into teak decks.
