Wake to silence and soft light spilling across the rugged Lebombo region. In this secluded corner of South Africa’s Kruger National Park, a Singita Concession safari invites you to step into a world where time slows, and every detail is designed for ease and indulgence.
Imagine morning mist drifting over wide-open plains, the distant roar of a lion, and the sun casting golden streaks across your private deck. Here, you can simply exhale, leaving behind schedules, decisions, and noise, and immerse yourself in the effortless rhythm of the bush.
Every sighting, every meal, every moment of stillness is curated to delight, soothe, and remind you that travel can be a sanctuary.
An Exclusive Private Game Reserve

The Singita Concession spans 150 square kilometres in the eastern Kruger, bordering Mozambique, in what is known as the Nwanetsi Concession. Unlike the wider national park, where roads and crowds can subtly intrude, a private concession allows your safari to flow at your pace. Here, every game drive, every moment of stillness, and every meal is curated for you, without compromise.
A private concession is about freedom, not just exclusivity. Your guides know every curve of the land, every watering hole, and every hidden vantage point. Sightings of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino – become personal encounters.
Herds of giraffes graze undisturbed, elephants wade slowly through sunlit rivers, and cheetahs or wild dogs may drift silently past, though these predators are seen less frequently than other species.
Wildlife Encounters Like No Other

In the Singita Concession, wildlife thrives in abundance and diversity. On a Singita safari, you can expect:
Big Five: Lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo roam freely across open plains and forested valleys.
Predators in action: Watch lions dominate or leopards pause in quiet observation; cheetahs and wild dogs appear more sporadically. Birdlife and more: Over 400 species of birds, from lilac-breasted rollers to majestic fish eagles, paint the skies and waters.
Seasonal surprises: Crocodile, hippo, and antelope movements reflect the rhythm of life in this untouched landscape.
In this part of South Africa, every encounter is guided by experts who anticipate your curiosities, answer questions before you ask, and make each sighting feel intimate and extraordinary.
Ultra-Premium Lodges: Your Sanctuary in the Bush
The concession is home to just two extraordinary lodges, each a masterpiece of design and comfort:
Singita Lebombo Lodge

Perched above the plains on dramatic stilts, Lebombo’s suites feature wraparound glass walls that let light, space, and the wild world flow into your room. Afro-fusion interiors combine natural materials with contemporary design, creating a sense of elegance that feels effortless. Private plunge pools, outdoor decks, and uninterrupted views make it a space where every moment of stillness is as memorable as the wildlife outside.
Singita Sweni Lodge

Nestled along the banks of the Sweni River, this lodge offers a more intimate experience. Sleek, open-plan suites blend seamlessly with the surroundings. Here, the river’s gentle murmur becomes the soundtrack to candlelit dinners, morning yoga sessions, or quiet afternoons in a hammock. Each detail, from handpicked fabrics to bespoke furnishings, is curated to ensure the ultimate in comfort and discretion.
Both lodges embody the philosophy of refined, unassuming luxury. No request is too small; anticipatory service ensures that every need is met before it’s spoken.
Private Guides: Your Personal Connection to the Wild

A Singita Concession safari isn’t just about where you stay; it’s about how you explore. Private guides, with years of experience and a profound understanding of the terrain, lead each safari. They track, explain, and bring the bush to life. Their knowledge allows you to move at a gentle rhythm: no rushing, no crowded viewing areas, just quiet observation and the thrill of discovery.
Every drive is tailored. Early mornings can be leisurely, nights can be spent under stars with a private dinner, and every itinerary is intuitive, allowing you to feel completely cared for without lifting a finger.
Responsible Elegance
Singita is committed to conservation and community, but never in a way that interrupts your sense of ease. Sustainability is subtle, integrated, and always thoughtful because true luxury is knowing that indulgence and responsibility can coexist effortlessly.
