Singita Concession

Singita Concession Overview

What makes Singita Concession special is that it provides a more intimate safari experience, while still enjoying the best of Kruger National Park’s abundant wildlife. Along with the Big 5, the area is also home to the Mountain Pride of lions, many different antelope species and hundreds of bird species. Water birds, birds of prey and many endemic and migratory woodlands species can all be seen on a typical day at Singita – a pair of binoculars is a must.

Singita Concession provides a balance of hospitality, conservation and community, uplifting local communities and creating a memorable safari experience for visitors without compromising the precious ecosystems of the reserve. Landscapes range from vast open grasslands teeming with game, to steep cliffs, lush woodlands and waterholes that provide numerous game species with a much needed relief from the hot African sun.
 

Highlights & Places in Singita Concession

As one might expect from a premier wildlife destination, safari activities are par for the course at Singita Concession. Game drives are offered twice a day in sturdy safari vehicles, while walking safaris can also be enjoyed. These take visitors through the bush, with experienced guides on hand to point out various plant, bird and animal species. To ensure the best game viewing opportunities, game drives are done twice a day – in the morning as well as in the later afternoon. Both of the camps within Singita arrange safari activities as part of a daily itinerary for guests.

Bird watching can also be enjoyed, on game drives, walking safaris or from camps. Singita Lebombo has a village that houses a fitness centre, spa, as well as a curio shop selling a range of African jewellery and artwork. Traditional dances and meals are served at both camps, providing plenty of entertainment once the sun goes down. At night, stargazing can be enjoyed, winding down a day spent exploring the concession. Excursions into the greater Kruger National Park can also be arranged for visitors who wish to explore the park further.
