A Classic Luxurious Singita Lodge In The Kruger National Park's Lebombo Region

Situated in one of the most picturesque and pristine regions in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, Singita Lebombo Lodge is set against a country that is abundant in water, antelope and big cats, with colours that shift with the changing seasons on the river bank of the N'wanetsi River.

Rangers consider the Singita concession to have some of the highest concentrations of wildlife, from lions to herds of buffalo, solitary rhino and everything in between.

A boldly dramatic lodge was created as a transient witness to the land, constructed of steel, glass and wood in reverence to the African expanse before it.

Walkways snake their way along a ridge dotted with surreal giant euphorbia trees that praise the sky; at Singita Lebombo, the lofts clasp like eagles' nests to the mountainside. Sparsely adorned spaces created of wall-to-wall glass, Singita Lebombo's suites are places of interaction with a wilderness that echoes to the soul.

Reserve Information

Singita's private concession within the Kruger Park borders Mozambique and consists of 33 000 acres of some of the best wilderness experiences found anywhere in or around the National Park.

Wildlife and birdlife populations in the concession thrive across four distinct ecological zones.

Of interest, this area of the Kruger Park is famed for the four particularly formidable pride of lions that are found here. This lion pride are often the subject of National Geographic documentaries.

Two 2-bedroomed suites are also available; these suites are perfect for families. A private plunge pool is available for guests who stay here.
