Singita Lebombo Lodge

Singita Lebombo occupies a private 33,000-acre concession inside Kruger National Park, cantilevered above the N’wanetsi River where rugged cliffs meet the Lebombo Mountains. The unfenced setting allows wildlife to roam freely between Kruger and Mozambique’s frontier, with big-sky views from elevated decks and lap pools. Days pivot between immersion on drives and quiet river-watching from the lodge’s terraces. Guests typically arrive by scheduled or charter flights to Satara or Singita airstrip, followed by an approximately 45-minute transfer, or by road from Skukuza in about two to three hours—both routes keeping logistics smooth without losing the wild.

Accommodation comprises 13 light-filled one-bedroom suites and two two-bedroom suites. All feature floor-to-ceiling glass, private viewing decks with daybeds, climate control and indulgent bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. The two-bedroom suites add private plunge pools and flexible family space; booked together, they form the four-bedroom Lebombo Villa with its own swimming pool and dedicated team. Interiors echo the cliffs—steel, timber and stone—framing river and sky rather than competing with them. Privacy is excellent, yet paths keep every suite a short stroll from the lodge’s social areas, pools, wine studio and library.

The lodge’s heart is a multi-level complex of glass and decks overlooking the river, anchored by long lap pools and generous viewing terraces. Social spaces include a wine studio for tastings, library/media rooms, lounge and bar, plus alfresco dining areas that glow after dark. A serene spa and a well-equipped fitness center support downtime between safaris, while stargazing terraces elevate clear-sky nights. Operationally, two guided game drives run daily; guided walks and night drives are offered subject to conditions. Thoughtful touches—charging points, good coffee, and intuitive service—make this contemporary icon as comfortable as it is bold.
