Known for its prolific wildlife, Singita Sabi Sands lies in the heart of the world-renowned Sabi Sand Reserve, in South Africa. There are two exclusive properties situated on the 45,714 acre reserve, namely Singita Ebony Lodge and Singita Boulders Lodge. These two properties are located in their own private area, aptly named Singita Private Game Reserve. The region features broad, open savannahs interspersed with acacia trees, rocky outcrops and riverine forest. This diverse habitat boasts an incredible array of wildlife, including the big five.

Herds of buffalo and elephant, large prides of lion, majestic leopards and numerous antelope species call the region home. From the luxury of Singita’s two exquisite lodges, guests can enjoy superb game viewing, either from the back of a game drive vehicle, on a walking safari or from the balcony of a private suite.

Singita Ebony Lodge

Singita Ebony can be found on the banks of the Sand River, in the very heart of the Reserve. This, the founding lodge of the Singita brand, is renowned worldwide for its commitment to exclusivity and privacy, in one of the finest settings in Africa.

Ebony lodge offers robust pleasures and an earthy atmosphere.

Private suites have their own plunge pools overlooking exquisite views of the Sand River and its abundant offering of game. This award-winning lodge combines exceptional quality and simple refinement which redefines one’s experience of the wild.

Singita Boulders Lodge

Boulders Lodge embraces nature at every turn. The design of this lodge makes every effort to allow nature to play a leading role and the ebb and flow of its organic architecture creates a soothing space for real rest and relaxation. Interiors are lavish in their simplicity and celebrate the colors of the earth in sandy browns, soft beiges and caramel hues.

Wood and stone have been used effectively to create an effortless space that marries our modern world to the ancient one inspired by nature. Quiet, simple and luxurious, guests love nothing better than to sit in the open-air lounge – waiting for a glimpse of life from the surrounding South African bush.

Singita is a great year round destination. Here is a summary of what to expect throughout the year.

November through December

These summer months are very hot and humid with either continual rains or very typically afternoon thundershowers which generally clear before the game drives depart. Lots of young animals are born during this time notably the impala lambs, which are beautiful but vulnerable to predators.

January to March

These are normally drier months with very hot days. There are lots of beautiful migratory birds during this summer period. Early morning drives with early returns to escape the heat, are typical.

April

The vegetation starts changing from thick lush green bush to a slightly sparser browning bush during this autumn period. The temperatures start cooling down at night but daytime is still warm. Potential scattered thundershowers can be experienced in the afternoons.

May to June

Cold temperatures are experienced at night and at dawn during these winter months. Warm clothing is recommended such as gloves, scarves, beanies (knitted caps) and insulated jackets. Large herds of elephants start moving back into the area. The vegetation becomes totally brown and trees start losing leaves. Visibility during drives is enhanced due to sparser vegetation. The Sand River becomes a major game attraction.

July to September

This period is very dry in the bush with very cold night temperatures and therefore chilly during the early morning and late afternoon game drives. Visibility is good as the game are concentrated around water sources.

September to October

Spring is the height of the dry season boasting hot dry winds and colorless, sparse vegetation. Because the rivers and dams are low, high concentrations of game can be viewed at these areas and game viewing in general is very good. The first rains may start towards the end of October and the signs of spring and a new wet season are evident.

Characteristic Species

Leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo, white rhino, cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, hippo, wildebeest, kudu and many other mammal and bird species occur.

Facilities

Facilities include a lounge and timber-deck dining areas overlooking the Sand River, bar area and open boma, gymnasium, health spa, library, wine cellar and swimming pools.
