Exclusive-Use Safari Homestead in the Sabi Sands
Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, South Africa
Once the private home of the grandfather of Singita’s founder, Castleton remains one of the most personal and character-rich properties in the entire Singita portfolio. We love its effortless charm and unpretentious atmosphere, a beautiful contrast to the ultra-luxury design found across the rest of the brand. Hidden within the world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Castleton offers complete privacy for families and friends wanting a homely yet exclusive safari retreat.
Interiors are light, airy and filled with authentic safari furnishings, antiques and thoughtfully reimagined décor pieces that honour the home’s heritage. The main stone-walled homestead is complemented by six standalone ensuite cottages, giving groups privacy while still staying close together.
Guests enjoy access to a tennis court, Bocce court, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, yoga pavilion, expansive living areas and a wine cellar. A double and single massage treatment room complete the experience — ideal for unwinding between game drives.

WHY WE LOVE SINGITA Castleton
Castleton is a rare combination of homeliness and exclusivity. It is a place where families can slow down, reconnect and share meaningful time together, surrounded by nature. The country-style kitchen naturally becomes the heart of the home, while the outdoor living spaces flow toward a nearby watering hole where wildlife gathers throughout the day.
It feels like your own private safari farmhouse – warm, welcoming and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Insider’s Tip: Spend an afternoon on the lawn overlooking the waterhole. It is one of the best places at Castleton to watch elephants, antelope and birdlife drift by while you relax with family or friends.
