Singita Boulders Lodge

The spacious central areas of Singita Boulders Lodge overlook the Sand River. Built with traditional materials – stone, wood and a thatched ceiling, and decorated with earthy tones, textured fabrics, every corner reveals thoughtful design. The dining area has unusual black stone walls and organically shaped lighting, and guests can kick back in built-for-comfort seating areas that are dotted around the central space. There are also massage and gym facilities, raised viewing decks, a shaded swimming pool and a world-class wine cellar.

The 12 luxurious suites are built of natural materials, ensuring that the eye flows smoothly from inside to out. The rooms are spacious, with a large four-poster bed, minibar, air conditioning and a fireplace for chilly evenings. The en-suite bathrooms have indoor and outdoor showers, a stylish tub and unique towel-holders. There are comfy chairs inside and out on the private raised deck, and a plunge pool overlooking the plains. Sit back, drink in hand, and watch the passing wildlife parade.

Apart from the incredible game viewing and palatial lodging, the service is second to none, with staff being attentive and eager to please.
