Singita Boulders Lodge, South Africa

Adam Chapman

I stayed at Singita Boulder's Lodge for one night. It was one of the most luxurious accommodations of my personal experience. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and to have my own plunge pool and water hole was the height of luxury. The service and guiding was impeccable. While I normally prefer to 'rough it' in Africa, I was more than happy to indulge myself in all the Singita hospitality and sheer opulence.

Singita Boulder's Lodge is situated in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger. Beautifully appointed alongside the Sand River, Boulders Lodge has an air of tranquillity that honours Africa in an authentic way. Named so after it was impossible to remove an enormous boulder without disturbing the environment, Boulders is literally built around the elements. Guests can enjoy wrap-around views from most parts of the coarse stone lodge, and you're bound to spot game frequently throughout your stay. The lookout deck offers the perfect spot from which to observe the surrounding landscape.

Location

Singita Boulders Lodge is approximately 5.3 hour's drive from Johannesburg, 1 hour from Hazyview and 1.45 min from the Kruger Mpumalanga Airport. Federal Air offers a daily return flight direct to Singita Sabi Sand from Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport. There are daily scheduled flights currently operated by SA Airlink into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA). Federal Air provides air transfers to and from KMIA to Singita Sabi Sand. Private air charters are available on request.

Highlights

  • The Sabi Sands Game Reserve borders the world-renowned Kruger National Park, but no fences intrude here - wildlife moves and migrates freely throughout the region, providing fantastic game-viewing opportunities from open, four-wheel drive vehicles.
  • Singita offers wonderful opportunities for big five sightings; Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhinoceros. The Sabi Sand Reserve has a higher bio-mass of animals per hectare than the internationally renowned Kruger National Park, which borders the Sabi Sand Reserve. The reserve is on the migration routes of many prey species, and sightings of lion, leopard and even the elusive African Wild Dog are common.

Holiday to South Africa during February 2011

South Africa Review

We have been to South Africa before in February/March when it is the depths of winter in the UK. Envigorating to get away from our dismal weather and the South Africans we have met have always made us welcome. Where we have been, we have alway felt safe although we have clearly avoided the townships...
