 FAQs About Singita Ebony Lodge

How is Singita Ebony Lodge different from Singita Boulders?

Singita Ebony Lodge leans more toward classic safari charm, with warm interiors, rich textures and a timeless design that honours Singita’s heritage. It also offers a more family-friendly atmosphere. Boulders, by comparison, is more contemporary and design-forward. Both share access to the Sabi Sand’s exceptional Big Five viewing, but Ebony is often the preferred choice for families or guests wanting a softer, more traditional safari aesthetic.

Is Singita Ebony Lodge suitable for families?

The Sabi Sand is world-renowned for its high density of leopards, and Boulders consistently delivers exceptional sightings of these elusive cats. The Sand River attracts elephants, buffalo, antelope and abundant birdlife, creating near-constant wildlife activity around the lodge – especially from the vantage points offered by the family suite’s spacious deck. Because the reserve limits vehicle numbers and follows strict ethical guiding and off-roading practices, every sighting feels intimate, respectful and unhurried, dramatically enhancing the overall safari experience.

What makes wildlife viewing at Singita Ebony Lodge so exceptional?

Ebony sits on the banks of the unfenced Sand River, a natural magnet for elephants, antelope, buffalo, and abundant birdlife. The Sabi Sand is globally renowned for its high density of leopards, and the concession around Ebony regularly offers world-class sightings. With limited vehicles, ethical off-roading and expert guiding, guests enjoy intimate, respectful sightings throughout their stay.
