Lodge in Sabi Sand, Mpumalanga
Singita Ebony Lodge is located in Sabi Sand, South Africa, offering guests access to 45,000 acres within a breathtaking wildlife sanctuary known for its high concentrations of big game and frequent leopard sightings. Suspended wooden walkways and shaded decks observe the ebb and flow of life along the Sand River, linking past and present. The main lodge has been opened up to create a greater sense of flow and access to views of the Sand River and beyond. While the existing chunky, rounded Adobe architecture remains, it is now beautifully combined with lightweight canvas and timber, giving a modern take on the classic safari lodge look and feel.
