Overview
A fabulous haven
Inspired by the natural geometry of the meandering Sand River that it overlooks, and the great weathered stones along the banks, Singita Boulders Lodge is one of the most stylish lodges in the Greater Kruger area with a safari experience to match.
Its interiors draw on nature, providing a luxurious yet rustic sanctuary immersed into its surroundings. Each suite at Boulders has an indoor and outdoor shower and a private viewing deck, allowing you to continue your safari experience post game drive. For the cooler months, an open fireplace awaits and for those sweltering summer afternoons, take a dip in your private plunge pool and watch the elephants revel in the cool river water just below.
For those feeling social, the copper bar is a favourite after dinner hangout, or perhaps you’d rather peruse Boulders’ legendary wine cellar for a bottle to sneak back to your room.
Set in a 18,200 hectare private concession in the Sabi Sands Reserve, you’ll soon discover why it is renowned for its wildlife, spotting leopard, lion, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, elephant and wild dog on expertly guided game drives and walking safaris.
