Property Details

Singita’s “Grand Dame,” Singita Ebony Lodge in South Africa was Singita’s first lodge and still retains much of its original homey atmosphere within its colonial corridors. The sister property to Singita Boulders Lodge, Singita Ebony Lodge comprises 12 sumptuous suites that represent a contemporary interpretation on the classic safari lodge, combining both the tented camp and bush lodge styles. Beneath thatched roofs, external walls have been replaced by canvas and glass to maximize views and space and allow guests to be fully immersed in the surrounding nature. The interiors are more than generous and full of the bold colors and textures of Africa creating a lived-in, almost nurturing feeling one expects from home. Among the host of luxurious amenities, including a romantic double-sided fireplace and a luscious soaking bathtub in the living area, perhaps the best is the private deck and heated swimming pool attached to each suite. Guests also have the option of enjoying a shower indoors or outside in the en-suite bath.
