Singita Ebony Lodge has a commanding presence and an essence that evokes an intense feeling of familiarity - as if visiting a congenial family home. Sumptuous coziness is simply the order of the day - tempting you into relaxation and reflection.

The secluded thatched suites are the epitome of elegant comfort, with rooms styled with an eclectic mix of colours, fabrics and textures. A colonial feel with Egyptian linen, African throws, antiques and modern luxuries combine to create a homely, lived-in feel. From the vast wooden deck to the pool overlooking the Sand River, it’s not uncommon to see elephant, buffalo and antelope grazing only metres away at any time of day. Perhaps this is where the notion of an ‘armchair safari’ was perfected…

Spa

The Singita wellness philosophy takes your personal rejuvenation to a level well beyond any pampering you’ve previously experienced. All our peaceful lodge spas, where nature provides its own special brand of calm, present the ultimate escape, sure to restore equilibrium to body and mind.

Whether you’re in need of a cleansing facial, a relaxing deep-tissue massage or a scintillating body polish, our professional therapists will assess your specific needs and offer personalised care through a variety of therapies and skincare treatments using the Dermalogica range. This skincare system has superb products for every skin type.

If all the ‘living it up’ at the lodges motivates you to step up your exercise programme, a visit to one of our fully equipped gyms is just the thing to do – and with views of the bush, you can keep an eye on the action outside while you work out.
