Singita Boulders Lodge

Embracing the Sand River’s granite outcrops and riverine woodland, Singita Boulders sits within a privately owned section of the Sabi Sand Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park. Suites and social spaces open toward the watercourse, where elephants, hippos and antelope are frequent visitors, and predators work the riverine corridors. With no fencing between Sabi Sand and Kruger, wildlife roams freely across a vast ecosystem. Architecture in glass, stone and timber keeps the landscape central to the experience, creating a serene, high-impact setting that balances seclusion with cinematic game viewing directly from the lodge.

Each of the 12 suites is designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living and unbroken river views. Glass-walled lounges and bedrooms open to a heated private plunge pool and viewing deck; family suites add a second en-suite bedroom for flexible two-bedroom configurations. Materials echo the riverscape with stone, wood and tactile textures. Practical comforts include climate control, well-stocked minibars, in-room safes and generous bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers; selected suites feature fireplaces. Thoughtful spacing preserves privacy while keeping guests connected to the river’s energy and the lodge’s calm, contemporary aesthetic.

The lodge’s heart is an open deck complex layered with dining terraces, bar and lounge flowing to a shimmering main pool above the Sand River. Wellness includes a tranquil spa and a fully equipped fitness centre, while a celebrated wine cellar hosts curated tastings from Singita’s notable collection. The design-forward Boutique & Gallery showcases contemporary African craft and art. Days balance twice-daily drives and guided walks with restorative downtime; evenings often finish by firelight with after-dark returns from safari. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the main areas and may be intermittent due to remoteness.
