Singita's Founding Safari Lodge

In the Sabi Sand reserve, South Africa, Singita Ebony Lodge is the founding Singita lodge, set on the banks of the Sand River, with suites, twice-daily game drives, a pool and a deep conservation ethos.

Classic safari on the Sand River

Singita Ebony Lodge is where Singita began in 1993, standing among enormous trees on the banks of the Sand River in the Sabi Sand reserve, in the heart of South Africa’s big-cat country. Recently reimagined, it offers a contemporary take on the classic safari lodge, with Adobe-inspired architecture combined with canvas and timber, suspended wooden walkways and shaded decks over the river. The suites are spacious and light-filled, with the design influenced by old-world explorers’ camps. Guests have access to 45,000 acres of a renowned wildlife sanctuary, known for high concentrations of big game and frequent leopard sightings, on twice-daily game drives and guided walks. There is a swimming pool, a fitness centre, yoga, wellness, a boutique and gallery, stargazing and a wine experience, with conservation led by the Singita Lowveld Trust. It suits couples and families who want a refined, classic safari with outstanding wildlife and a strong conservation ethos.a

Dining

Dining is part of the all-inclusive safari experience, from breakfasts after the morning drive to dinners on the deck above the Sand River.
