Luxury Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park, South Africa

Set within Singita’s exclusive concession in the Kruger National Park, Singita Lebombo Lodge has been carefully refreshed, with each detail intentionally evolving the lodge rather than changing its essence. The result is a safari experience that feels both contemporary and timeless. For those who have stayed at a Singita lodge before, Lebombo captures and elevates the qualities that make these deeply nurturing safari experiences so memorable.

Singita Lebombo blends seamlessly into its rugged surroundings, where natural textures and organic forms create a sense of calm and connection. The guest spaces are beautifully open and inviting, while the suites, suspended like glass-fronted cocoons above the N’Wanetsi River, feel private, serene, and deeply immersive.

Between game drives, guests can relax on the rooftop terrace, browse the wine studio, cool off in the 25-metre lap pool, or retreat to the cosy library. Every corner has been designed for quiet reflection and uninterrupted views across the Kruger wilderness.

WHY WE LOVE SINGITA Lebombo

Lebombo is one of the most visually striking safari lodges in Africa – all glass, light, and sweeping river views. The guiding and wildlife viewing are exceptional, and the culinary and wine experiences are among the best in the Singita portfolio. The lodge’s design makes you feel suspended between sky and river, creating a sense of escape that is hard to match.

Insider’s Tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, ask the team to transform the daybed on your private deck into a stargazing bed. Falling asleep under a blanket of southern-sky stars is one of the most memorable experiences at Lebombo.

Singita Lebombo FAQs

With access to a private concession inside the park, guests enjoy exclusive Big Five viewing, night drives and limited-vehicle sightings not available in the public sections of Kruger.

Singita Lebombo Lodge operates within a private 33,000-acre concession in the Kruger National Park. Reserved exclusively for Singita guests, this vast wilderness area offers a more intimate safari experience away from the park’s self-drive traffic.

Staying within the concession also provides several advantages, including highly experienced guides, limited vehicles at sightings, the ability to track selected animals off-road, and the opportunity to enjoy night drives. Together, these elements create a more immersive and rewarding safari experience, particularly for guests seeking exceptional wildlife encounters and a greater sense of exclusivity.

Lebombo is a favourite for honeymooners, couples and design-focused travellers who love contemporary architecture and tranquil spaces. Families with older children are welcome, but guests seeking a more family-oriented atmosphere often prefer the nearby Singita Sweni Lodge or Singita Castleton.

Your stay includes luxury suite accommodation, all meals and selected beverages, twice-daily Big Five game drives, night drives, guided nature walks, access to the rooftop terrace, a wine studio, a lap pool, and wellness treatments.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first zoom call with Leah to the detailed itinerary that Jenna put together to the boots on the ground communication from Jacinta, Mandie, Nyameka and the whole team we had the most incredible first safari experience in Kenya thanks to Ubuntu. They put us up in the most iconic tents with staff that went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. Our plane transfers from lodge to lodge were seamless and very easy to navigate. We had the absolute best safari vacation and we owe that to Ubuntu!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Ubuntu to plan our honeymoon, and throughout the entire process, we experienced such wonderful customer service. With so many things pulling us in different directions between wedding planning, our personal lives, and work, there were definitely times when our responses and decisions took longer than expected. No matter how long an email sat in our inbox, though, the Ubuntu team was always quick to respond. They patiently answered all of our questions, no matter how silly, and consistently provided helpful specifics, whether that was a direct link or step-by-step instructions.

We really appreciated that the team focused on giving us the information we needed to make informed decisions without ever making the process feel like a sales pitch. They were respectful and realistic when it came to conversations about our budget while still making sure they were creating the best experience possible for us.

Once we arrived in Africa, the experience continued to be top-notch. The accommodations were beautiful, and every staff member we interacted with was professional, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Having all of our airport transfers and domestic travel taken care of was such a relief and exactly what we needed after the chaos of wedding planning.

We would recommend working with Ubuntu to anyone we know who is planning a trip to Africa. They made the entire experience seamless, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. We are so grateful for the role they played in making our honeymoon so special.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just arrived home from a 31 day epic adventure in Africa.  We covered SA (Cape Town and surrounds), Singita at Sabi Sands, Vumbura Plains in the Okavango Delta, Joburg, Vic Falls Zimbabwe, Tanzania (Nomad at Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks), Rwanda (Kigali and Singita at Volcanoes National Park).  Ubuntu did an absolutely amazing job in arranging the trip.  They were with us every step of the way.  Excellent team and service!  CDT

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute 1st class travel planning.  We had the most amazing and memorable trip, and as a person who likes to travel plan myself, this trip had so many moving parts there's no way I could have tackled it. I'd give Ubuntu an 11/10 rating if I could.  They made our travel seamless, relaxed, and delivered the most incredible experience.  100% we will use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the BEST experience with Ubuntu planning our South Africa trip! From the beginning, they were so easy to work with and were amazing at communicating with us both before and during the trip.

They put together the perfect itinerary for us with safari at two different lodges, time on Benguerra Island, and we even decided to add Franschhoek a couple of months before we left. They made everything so easy and somehow managed to make the entire trip feel completely seamless.

One of the biggest things that stood out was how responsive they were when we had our international flight canceled. I literally just had to send them a WhatsApp message with our new flight information, and they immediately took care of rearranging everything for us. We never had to stress about figuring out transfers or logistics ourselves.

They even had porters meet us at every airport, so we barely had to think about our luggage or where we were supposed to go. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way.

It was honestly the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are already talking about when we can go back and will 100% be using Ubuntu again to plan our next trip. Highly, highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible South Africa trip Ubuntu planned for my wife and I! Ubuntu set us up with full-day guided Peninsula and Winelands tours during our few days in Cape Town, followed by four days of Safari game drives at the Savanna Lodge within the Sabi Sands Nature Reserve.

A huge thank you to Ubuntu for finding a perfect balance/mix of fun activities and relaxed downtime throughout out trip! Ubuntu took care of all the travel logistics once we got down to South Africa. Ubuntu set us up with our Guest Experience Liaison that would check-in with us ever couple of days and was available on call if we needed any sort of logistical support. We didn't end up needing to lean on our liaison since everything went so smoothly, but surely felt we had all the support we needed had something come up.

We know we will be utilizing Ubuntu the next time we travel to Africa and highly recommend Ubuntu to anyone else planning a trip to Africa!

From the plains of the Serengeti to the shores of Zanzibar, Ubuntu Travel designed an unforgettable Tanzanian package to celebrate a milestone birthday. I was especially grateful that they embraced this solo traveler and ensured that every detail was planned out in advance, making this a trip of a lifetime.
