Child rates

Notable exceptions
- Singita Castleton is booked on a private-use (exclusive-use) basis and includes a private vehicle in the daily rate. Children of all ages are welcome. Singita's general rule that families travelling with children under 10 must book a private vehicle is effectively pre-covered here — families of up to three including under-10s are charged the private vehicle rate; families of four or more including under-10s receive complimentary use of the private vehicle. The general Singita 10-year minimum age applies at Boulders, Lebombo (excl. Two-Bedroom Suites and Villa), Sabora and Mara River — Castleton is not among these restricted properties. In the interest of safety, children participate in safari activities at the discretion of the Singita guide.
