SAFEGUARDING AFRICA’S WILDLIFE & WILDERNESS

SINGITA IS A CONSERVATION AND ECOTOURISM

BRAND THAT HAS BEEN HELPING TO PRESERVE

AFRICA’S UNTOUCHED NATURAL SPACES FOR

ALMOST THREE DECADES and we offer exceptional safari

experiences at 15 award-winning lodges and camps across

four countries. In partnership with non-profit Funds & Trusts

who implement strategic conservation projects in each of

the regions in which we operate, our 100-year purpose is to

preserve and protect large areas of African wilderness for future

generations.

We are steadfast in our commitment to protect unique

ecosystems, help recover critically endangered species, ensure

no further extinction, benefit neighbouring communities under

our care, and contribute positively to the reduction of GHG

emissions through our climate commitments.

Travellers choose to stay at Singita because of the expansive

space and beauty of our remote locations. They value the

restorative serenity of these pristine wilderness areas, as

well as the limited guest and vehicle numbers, extraordinarily

consistent game viewing and exceptional & intuitive care

they receive during their stay. When guests depart, they are

transformed for life and deeply moved by their connection and

contribution to the legacy of this continent.

AN ENDURING COMMITMENT TO “Singita’s ethos of ‘touching the Earth lightly’ is no longer just a forward-thinking principle; it is imperative to our survival, and that of the

land, wildlife and communities under our care.”
