Accommodation
Singita Ebony Lodge has nine beautifully appointed double suites set in shady woodland above the Sand River. Each suite has an en-suite bathroom, complete with shower, outdoor shower, a double-sided fireplace, air-conditioning, private leisure deck with pool and living area. There is an outdoor “boma” and swimming pool. In the Lodge at Ebony, you will encounter the quiet opulence of African colonial style at its most refined.
From the cool and sumptuous folds of a
leather sofa, you'll watch a Giraffe browse on a distant
acacia, or you yourself may browse from the extensive
library in the quiet of the afternoon. Set in the dappled
shade of Ebony trees on the banks of the Sand River, the
suites at Ebony are completely private, cool and spacious,
and each with its own plunge pool. Each suite is
individually designed with traditionally understated
elegance, providing a luxurious refuge that will quickly
become your home. On the deck, you may spend time alone in
reflection, or enjoy a gourmet dinner for two in the most
romantic of settings.
Facilities
Luxury Spa & Health Center
Singita's luxury spa offers a range of quality professional treatments, from a full body massage on the deck of your suite to acupuncture & chiropractic with highly experienced practitioners. The health spa facility at Boulders Lodge offers facials, a range of beauty treatments and massages combining the ancient arts of Oriental acupressure, Ayurveda and traditional European massage. Guests to the lodge, and its sister establishment, Ebony Lodge, can enjoy the option of either using the spa directly or having therapists visit their suites for private beauty treatments on the pool deck. In the fully equipped health center, you may keep up your fitness regime with the assistance of the lodge's personal trainer or the more adventurous athlete might go for a guarded jog through the bush. A steam room is also available.
Dining & Wines
Singita's executive chef has worked in the food capitals of the globe, and brings this international experience to the superb ingredients he finds in Africa. Guests at Singita will encounter something truly original: a cuisine inspired by African flavors yet guided by the Western culinary tradition. Complementing the menu is Singita's hidden treasure: the best bush cellar in Africa. Buried deep in the cool rock below Boulders, the cellar boasts a truly unique and comprehensive cross section of over 12,000 bottles of South African and International wines.
Trading Store
Here the most comprehensive collection of original merchandise imaginable has been assembled: jewelry crafted by hand from Africa's precious metals and gems; sculpture for the discerning investor; elegant fashion inspired by the beauty of the bush and quality outdoor gear; African music; limited edition photographic prints; home wear. All of this you may take in, over a cappuccino, in a store with a view to the distant African horizon.
Activities / Wildlife
Africa's Big Five Game Animals: an Adventurer's Dream Destination! Singita has abundant wildlife, with a higher bio-mass of animals per hectare than the internationally renowned Kruger National Park. The park has a tremendous trove of wildlife treasures with the crown jewels being Africa's fearsome big five: elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino. For guests wanting private drives, Landrovers can be hired. The nocturnal safaris open up a totally new world and a powerful spotlight illuminates the shy and sometimes rare wildlife.
This is Africa's big game terrain, so your days and early nights will blissfully revolve around spectacular game viewing drives in Landrovers. Driving in open safari Landrovers allows for panoramic vision of the bush. Only six people are permitted per vehicle, leaving space for photographic and binocular equipment. On night safaris, when the heat of the day has subsided, the predators such as lion, leopard, hyena, black backed jackal and the owls start their hunting. Drinks are served in the bush at sunset as a gentle introduction to the nocturnal bush. At Singita you can witness a spectacular lion kill, then wait for the spotted hyena to arrive. Undisturbed, a giraffe gives birth, lions mate, cubs suckle, a gigantic tree is toppled by an elephant.
