The Singita Private Game Reserve is part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve,
bordering on the western sector of the Krüger National Park. The area is not
fenced off in the direction of Krüger Park so the animals can move freely
between the National Park and Sabi Sand. In the Shangaan language, the word
singita means "wonder". Given the astonishing abundance of wildlife to be
found on this large reserve, the name could not have been better chosen.
Ebony Lodge & Boulders Lodge
The first two lodges on the Singita Game Reserve are situated in 18.000
hectares, areas of which are still wholly untouched. The magnificent
landscape, studded with copses of mighty ebony trees and ribboned by the
course of the Sand River, lends the lodges a grandeur of their own.
Rooms/Accommodation:
For sheer luxury Boulders Lodge is something of the jewel in the crown for the
Relais & Chateaux group, which manages the reserve. Not that Ebony Lodge is
any less noticeably sumptuous. Both Boulders Lodge and Ebony Lodge have 18
Suites apiece, each of which boasts its own private swimming pool. The
spaciously designed rooms have verandas, open fireplaces, a lounge,
bathrooms, showers, an extra outdoor shower, air conditioning, minibars,
telephones, safes and hair dryers. The Suites not only allow guests to bath
in the pool, but also to soak in a free-standing Victorian bathtub as well.
At Boulders Lodge, the Suites measure 90 m˛, at Ebony Lodge
85 m˛, and that is without taking into account the spacious
panorama deck.
The facilities at the Singita Game Reserve include an open day room, a
swimming pool, terrace, bar and souvenir shop. The restaurant area serves an
excellent cuisine, and has a boma (a traditional gathering spot), where
tables can be set for outdoor dining.
Activities:
There are twice-daily wildlife-watching expeditions in an open all-terrain
vehicle with experienced gamekeepers as guides. With a bit of luck, there is
a chance of coming across the Big Five - elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards
and buffalo - as well as a host of other wild animals such as zebra,
antelopes and giraffes. Guest can also go on hikes with the reserve's
rangers, all of whom know the area like of their hands, and make use of the
facilities at the hotel's fitness centre.
