Singita Castleton seamlessly blends the elegance of a private safari lodge with the cozy charm of a country farmhouse. The interiors are adorned with antique pieces and refurbished furnishings that enhance the authentic atmosphere, which flows out to expansive, covered verandas overlooking serene lawns, a waterhole often visited by wildlife, and a large swimming pool.
The picturesque stone-walled homestead, along with six double en-suite cottages, is ideal for families and groups of friends, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests. Singita Castleton offers exclusive amenities, including a Bocce court, a well-stocked wine cellar, a country-style kitchen, and a tennis court. For relaxation and wellness, guests can enjoy a fitness center, a yoga pavilion, and dedicated massage rooms. Outdoor dinners around the firepit, with uninterrupted views of the landscape, create unforgettable starlit evenings.
The six guest cottages are separate from the main house. Two of these cottages are connected, making them perfect for families with children.
Game Drives
Guests at Castleton have access to a private field guide, tracker, and Land Rover for the entirety of their stay. The daily game drives offer a close encounter with Africa’s remarkable wildlife, while the late afternoon outings reveal the mystique of the nocturnal world. These drives are conducted in state-of-the-art Land Rovers, with each vehicle accommodating up to six guests. During your time at Singita Sabi Sand, you may encounter a wide variety of animals, including leopards, lions, rhinos, large buffalo herds, elephants, reedbucks, hyenas, hippos, nyalas, cheetahs, wild dogs, and numerous bird species.

Dream African experience
Booking our dream trip to Africa with Sara was the best thing that we could have done. Sara made the experience so enjoyable. She worked extremely hard at filling all of our requests and really tailored all of the experiences to our liking. The best stress free investment we have made. I would give Sara six stars if I could!

It was a great experience dealing with Shann. She was most accommodating and patient. We managed to sort things out very eventually. The only sore point I have is the 2 % surcharge for the card handling fee, which I find too excessive. Otherwise, I am pleased with everything.

Keith went above and beyond…
Keith went above and beyond expectations arranging our holiday safari travels (for one vegan and one mobility-impaired traveller, no less:-). Safari.com is lucky to have Keith on board. He helped us feel confident in our choices, keeping us up to date with options, and finessing holiday scheduling issues with aplomb.

Trip to Kruger at Mdluli Safari Lodge
I loved working with Anja from safari.com. She put together my itinerary within my price range and was very professional, thorough and empathetic. She followed up with me many times to see if I needed anything throughout my trip and even filled out some forms for me when I was having difficulty. When the lodge I stayed at was not being accommodating in the slightest, she quickly contacted the manager and got them to rearrange their services to meet my needs. I would most certainly use safari.com again due to my wonderful experience working with Anja.

Nicole at Safari.com is AMAZING!!!
I would love to share my experience with Nicole. She has worked tirelessly to help me make my dream vacation a reality. I had no idea how to start planning. Nicole suggested the most wonderful South African resorts and safaris. No matter how many changes I threw her way it was always received with a happy, positive attitude. I live in Hawaii and even though we were on a 12 hour time difference she was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her expertise, knowledge and patience are unmeasurable. I was plagued with numerous payment issues from my bank in Hawaii. Nicole never wavered from being patience and more importantly positive that we could resolve each issue and get my trip booked. Nicole is a huge asset to Safari.com and I will scream it from the mountains to let everyone know what excellent customer service I have received. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR!!! We are so excited for our upcoming adventure of a lifetime!
