Singita Lebombo

Singita Lebombo stands out for its dramatic cliffside architecture inspired by eagle nests, offering a striking, contemporary take on safari living. Its glass-fronted suites feel suspended above a pristine river, creating uninterrupted views of the Kruger landscape. 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. Lebombo’s layout, elevated suites and serene spaces make it ideal for adults or older teens.

Singita Lebombo offers a variety of accommodation options designed for couples, families, and groups:

• 13 Contemporary Suites – Light-filled suites suspended above the N’Wanetsi River, each featuring expansive decks and floor-to-ceiling glass for uninterrupted wilderness views.
• Two Two-Bedroom Suites – Ideal for families or friends travelling together, with generous living spaces and shared outdoor areas.
• Lebombo Villa – By combining both two-bedroom suites, guests can enjoy Singita’s exclusive-use villa experience. Perfect for multi-generational families, it includes a dedicated guide and tracker team, private safari vehicle, and shared lounge, dining area, deck, and swimming pool.

All accommodation has been thoughtfully refreshed, with each update designed to deepen the lodge’s spirit while maintaining the contemporary design and connection to the surrounding Kruger wilderness that Singita Lebombo is known for.

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. Guests also enjoy exclusive access to Singita’s private Kruger concession, ensuring outstanding wildlife experiences with minimal vehicle pressure.

Yes. In April 2026 Singita Lebombo recently underwent a thoughtful refresh. Rather than changing the lodge’s essence, each update was designed to deepen its spirit and enhance its expression, resulting in a safari experience that feels both contemporary and timeless.
