Singita Boulders Lodge

Resting among the natural rocky geometry of the landscape, Boulders Lodge is situated in the heart of the 18,500 Singita Private Game Reserve, which forms part of the world-famous Sabi Sand Reserve, adjoining the borders of the Kruger National Park.

Herds of buffalo and elephant, large prides of lion, majestic leopard and antelope by the thousands make this area one of the finest locations for viewing the Big 5 anywhere in the world. Early morning game drives, and afternoon into spotlit evening game drives in open Land Rovers ensure a close encounter with Africa's wildlife.

Excellent cuisine, prepared with the finest ingredients, combine simplicity with an abundance of flavour, and is complemented with the wines from the unique and comprehensive wine cellar.

The luxurious health spa will indulge your senses with a range of treatments, including reflexology, manicures, facials and aromatherapy.

Or gaze across the endless wonders of the African bush while working out in the modern fitness centre.

Innovative design and natural hues accentuate a sense of space that flows in through the floor to ceiling glass walls of your suite at Boulders Lodge.
