For the ultimate in luxury safari experiences, we can't think of anywhere better than Singita's Ebony Lodge. Think Ralph Lauren meets Out of Africa – a cosy lodge with a warm, intimate atmosphere and an eclectic mix of traditional grandeur, chunky wooden furniture, vintage African fabrics and antiques alongside every modern luxury you'd think impossible in the heart of the bush.

Set on the banks of the Sand River, surrounded by open grassland and bush, you’ll find yourself enjoying every creature comfort in the most beautiful of natural environments. In the main lodge buildings, further loveliness awaits thanks to a gym, a library and the excellent Bush Spa, not to mention wide candle-lit decks from which to enjoy the sunset with a glass of something special from the well-stocked wine cellar. For groups of friends or families looking for extra privacy, the separate 12-person Castleton Camp with its own tennis court, pool and trampoline, is a must.
