Singita Lebombo Lodge, South Africa

Adam Chapman

Perched high on a hill top, Singita lebombo looks out over the N'wanetsi River with sweeping views over the Kruger National Park. The stunning rooms with their minimalistic design only serve to enhance the feeling of endless space with 180 degree panoramic views over some of the Kruger's most breathtaking scenery. The excellent service, cuisine, accommodation and guiding coupled with some of the most exquisite scenery and wildlife South Africa has to offer have created an exceptional experience that will be hard to forget!

Singita Lebombo Lodge is situated in the eastern south central part of the Kruger National Park, along the N’wanetsi River. The Lebombo Concession is exclusive to guests at Singita. Like the Lebombo Euphorbia tree, the design of Lebombo Lodge is one of a kind. The sweeping wooden decks provide the perfect vantage point from which to watch the theatre that unfolds before you. The lap pool that lines the dining area reflects the beauty of the nearby N’wanetsi River, while large sunbeds beckon you to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Each of the fifteen suites feature glass, wood, steel and contemporary finishes. Enjoy dinner in the boma, with the sounds of the bushveld as background music, and then spend the evening sleeping under the stars on the bed of your private terrace – complete with mosquito net.
