A Private Sanctuary

Protecting the wildlife in privately owned sanctuaries has always been the legacy at Singita for over 85 years since the first Singita property was created by James Fawcett Bailes. In 1925, he purchased a tract of wilderness with an aim to conserve the wildlife in the best possible way. Today, besides conservation activities, Singita is actively working towards sustainable tourism and helping local communities prosper.

Big Cats

The Big Cats, namely, tiger, lion, leopard, are the highlight of any African Safari Tours. In Singita, they can be spotted around the lodges too. The high grazer population in the private sanctuary means it’ll attract a sizable predator population too. So during your stay expect to see a yawing lion camouflaged leopard waiting for the right opportunity to jump on its prey and have a good day’s meal.

Plunge Pools
