Singita Sabi Sand

After the INDABA trade fair and a quick trip into Ponta de Ouro, Mozambique; we made our way to Cape Town and then the renowned Singita Sabi Sand.

Singita Sabi Sand offers rare solitude and the ultimate in safari luxury on prime game viewing land recognized globally for its diversity and formidable concentration of big game and frequent leopard sightings. You can choose between three unfenced lodges, infused with the glamor and elegance of Singita. The Directors were nice enough to let us stay at Boulders Lodge: http://www.singita.com/index.php/game-reserves/lodges-and-camps-in-south-africa/singita-boulders-lodge/ Boulders Lodge has a contemporary air of tranquility that honors Africa in an authentic way. You can enjoy wrap-around views from most parts of the natural stone lodge, and the lookout deck offers the perfect spot from which to observe wildlife drawn to the Sand River.

Our game drives involved sightings of leopard, wild dogs, lions, rhino, elephant, and more. Our sun downers were incredible, with one evening involving appetizers of sushi. The Singita style is quite amazing. Boulders Lodge offers a great wine cellar where you are able to do wine tastings with the local sommelier, who then comes to pour wine according to the evening's menu, which often contains various game meats. A truly beautiful safari experience in South Africa!

Here is an overview of Boulders Lodge:

• 12 luxurious suites (24 beds). Two of the suites are double family suites.
