SINGITA IS COMMITTED TO SAVING AFRICA’S WILDERNESS

We’ve been preserving African wilderness for the past two decades. Through an exceptional safari experience with 12 award-winning lodges and camps across South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, Singita is able to partially fund the protection and preservation of over a million acres of pristine land and existing wildlife populations, as well as helping to create economic independence within local communities surrounding the reserves.

Travellers choose to stay at Singita because of the expansive space and beauty of the reserves, limited guest and vehicle numbers, extraordinarily consistent game viewing and the exceptional care that is taken of each guest during their stay. When guests depart after a Singita safari, they are transformed for life, satisfied in the knowledge that they’ve made a contribution to the legacy of Africa.


CONSERVATION AS A WAY OF LIFE

Built upon a 100-year purpose to preserve and protect African wilderness for future generations, Singita has been championing conservation in Africa from the very beginning. We achieve this with large-scale projects in wildlife management and protection, reserve and ecosystem integrity, sustainable tourism practices and community development.

Through a sustainable conservation model that helps balance tourism with conservation in all regions in which we operate, 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.


Inspired by the African landscape, the design, which blends nature with tech, pushes the boundaries of safari style to the limit, while delivering the same light, space, openness and connection to the earth that guests have become accustomed to. Giving guests a front row seat to the 33,000 acre concession with 13 bold, contemporary, open-plan suites suspended above the N’Wanetsi River and a private villa on the river bank, this is the Kruger like never before.

shirts) with a warm jersey or sweater for the cooler morning andevening temperatures.

WEATHER AND TEMPERATURE

Best t ime to go on safari Southern Africa is a year-round destination. Traditionally the dry winter months (April to October) are best for game viewing, due to the shorter grass, lack of foliage and the absence of water which forces the game to concentrate around the remaining sources of drinking water. Annual rainfall, usually in the form of short afternoon thunder showers that clear up within an hour, occur from December to March. Many species give birth to their young around the start of the rainy season which is when the the bush comes alive with newborn animals.

Average Seasonal temperature ranges

Spring (Sept – Nov) Autumn (March – May)Low 15 °C / 59 °F Low 19 °C / 66 °FHigh 31 °C / 89 °F High 32 °C / 90 °F

Summer (Dec – Feb) Winter (June – Aug)Low 22 °C / 72 °F Low 8 °C / 46 °FHigh 35 °C / 95 °F High 28 °C / 82 °F
