Singita Reserve In Detail:

The Singita Private Reserve comprises 60km² (6 000 hectares) of privately owned wilderness in the famous Sabi Sands Reserve. The name Singita has become synonymous with the ultimate in exclusivity and luxury, and you'll often find Singita at the top of prestigious travel and hospitality award lists.

Wildlife

It may be difficult to tear you away from the extreme comforts of the lodge, but the Singita Reserve commands every bit as much attention as your private suite. Typical of the Sabi Sands, you will no doubt encounter all the big safari attractions - including herds of elephant, large lion prides and solitary leopards.

The birdlife in this area of the Kruger can be equally enchanting so make sure to keep your head in the clouds while on game drives.

Game drives

The 60km² (6 000 hectares) reserve makes for beautiful and incredibly wild game drives. Game drives at Singita will take you as close to African wildlife as you could ever hope to get.

During your stay at Singita, you'll have a personal ranger and skilled Shangaan tracker, who will accompany you on all your game drives. To further increase your chance of spotting the Big 5, Singita rangers keep in radio contact and send each other reports of the latest game sightings.

Singita lodges

Our Travellers' Reviews of Singita Lodges:

"Yes the best was left to the last. Words are difficult to find to clearly express our views: everything about our stay at Singita Boulders Lodge was outstanding - the facilities and the views especially were out of this world.

Although we'd heard lots about safari stays, you have to be there and experience it yourself to fully understand the sights and emotions you feel. We had three male lions stroll past our vehicle, literally 2 feet from where we were sitting. How do you describe that experience?

It was a very difficult departure as you just didn't want it to end."

Stephan Grace, Go2Africa Traveller (April 2010)

"I would have to say that Singita was by far the best part of our trip. That place is amazing and truly an experience you can only realize once you are there."

Dave Hirsch, Go2Africa Traveller (Oct 2009)

"Singita was by far the most amazing part of the whole holiday. What a place! I have never stayed somewhere that every single part of the experience was top class - the rooms were out of this world, and the staff so efficient and friendly.

"We were also really surprised by the quality of the food. Every meal was outstanding, down to the last night when they surprised us with a candlelit dinner in our room to which our usual waitress still came and served - that was a really nice touch. We had the same staff dedicated to us throughout our whole stay; our guide Lazarus and spotter Thimba were the best (definitely would recommend asking for them if possible).

"The safari was amazing. As it is a private game reserve they went off road all the time which meant we were able to track and find the animals rather than having to stay on the road. We saw every animal that you could imagine. If someone had a limited time, I would say to stay in Kruger and you will see it all.

"We both said that we could stay there for a month, as I didn't even get time to have a swim in our private pool!"

Steve Grant, Go2Africa Traveller (March 2009)
