Singita

Singita was founded in 1993 by Luke Bailes, on land his grandfather acquired in the Sabi Sand in 1926. What began as a single lodge in South Africa has grown into a family-owned collection of seventeen properties across Tanzania, Rwanda, Zimbabwe and South Africa, all under one quiet philosophy: extraordinary places, lightly trodden.

Common questions

Singita, answered.

Read more about Singita
Is Singita all-inclusive?
Yes. Every Singita rate covers all meals, premium wines and spirits, twice-daily game drives with senior guides, laundry, Wi-Fi and the conservation levy. The only extras are the cellar's rarest vintages, spa treatments, and gorilla trekking permits at Kwitonda in Rwanda.
Which Singita lodge is best for the wildebeest migration?
Singita Faru Faru, Sabora and Explore in the Grumeti concession sit directly on the western corridor migration route. The herds typically pass through between June and July. For the Mara River crossings further north, Singita Mara River Tented Camp in Tanzania operates from June to October in the heart of the crossing zone.
Do Singita lodges accept children?
Policies vary by property. Several lodges welcome children of ten and older on standard game drives. Singita Castleton and Serengeti House, both exclusive-use villas, accept children of all ages and are popular with families. Our safari specialists can advise which properties suit your family and arrange private vehicle options where needed.
Is it cheaper to book Singita directly?
No. The rates are identical whether you book through us or direct. The difference is that our safari specialists build the full journey around your Singita stay, coordinating flights, transfers, multi-property combinations and any pre or post extensions, at no additional cost.
How far in advance should I book Singita for July to October?
Peak season (July to October) at the most popular properties books out six to twelve months in advance, particularly Lebombo and Boulders in South Africa and the Grumeti lodges during migration season. If you have specific dates in mind, contact our safari specialists early. Shoulder months and the South African winter (May to June) offer more availability.

The story

A bit of Singita history.

Today Singita protects more than half a million acres of African wilderness through its non-profit funds, which channel a meaningful share of every booking back into anti-poaching, community partnerships, and habitat restoration. The lodges are a means to that end.

The Singita way

Why Singita.

A Singita stay is intimate by design. Vehicle ratios are kept low, guides are senior, and the lodges hold themselves to a standard of architectural restraint that lets the bush do the talking.

Every Singita rate is fully inclusive: all meals, premium wines and spirits, twice-daily game drives with senior guides, laundry, Wi-Fi and the conservation levy. The only extras are the cellar's rarest vintages and spa or gorilla trekking additions at Kwitonda. Rates start from $3,130 per person per night at Pamushana in Zimbabwe and from R54,290 in the South African properties.

Conservation is not an add-on. The Singita Lowveld Trust protects over 100,000 acres in the Sabi Sand, and the Grumeti Fund manages 350,000 acres in the Serengeti's western corridor. A meaningful share of every booking flows directly into these non-profit funds, funding anti-poaching, community development and habitat restoration across all four countries.

The wine programme is a genuine differentiator. Each lodge carries a cellar curated by the group's sommelier, with South African and international estates selected to match the setting. Bush dinners pair vintage with firelight, and Boulders Lodge in the Sabi Sand holds one of the most considered wine lists of any safari property in Africa.

Why book through safari.com? The rates are the same as booking direct. Our safari specialists know every Singita property personally, build multi-lodge itineraries across regions (Sabi Sand into the Serengeti, or the Serengeti paired with gorilla trekking in Rwanda), coordinate all flights and transfers, and reply in as little as 15 minutes during working hours.
