Sabi Sands, South Africa
Singita Boulders Lodge
Riverside lodge offering exceptional wildlife experiences
Set along the boulder-strewn banks of the Sand River, Boulders Lodge harmonises effortlessly with its surroundings, designed to reflect the light, colours and textures of the African wilderness. Each of the twelve suites features interiors that open onto expansive wooden decks, offering uninterrupted views of the Sand River or the bush. The expansive glass-fronted suites create a seamless transition between the indoors and the wilderness outside. Inside, handcrafted furnishings made from fossilised tree stumps, solid stone and wrought iron are softened by luxurious details such as natural flax linens and cloud-like cotton towels.
The lodge offers access to 45,000 acres of wilderness within the renowned Singita Sabi Sands Reserve. This area is famed for its abundant wildlife and frequent leopard sightings, making game drives and bush walks an exceptional part of the experience. Led by expert guides, these excursions offer encounters with Africa’s rich animal and birdlife.
The communal spaces at Boulders Lodge are equally inviting. The Copper Bar, a warm and intimate setting, serves freshly pressed juices, artisanal espressos and expertly crafted cocktails, providing the perfect spot to gather after a day of adventure. The lodge’s extensive outdoor dining and lounge areas, complete with a stone fireplace, offer further opportunities for relaxation, while the on-site wellness and fitness centre provide spaces for rejuvenation. Additional amenities include a main swimming pool set within the lodge’s lush grounds, a boutique and gallery offering curated African art and design pieces and a premier wine boutique showcasing a selection of fine South African wines.

Places to combine Singita Boulders Lodge with
The Kalahari
The malaria free Tswalu Reserve, owned by the Oppenheimer family, consists of over 100,000 hectares of the ‘green’ Kalahari grasslands home to eighty mammal species and 340 varieties of bird.
Furthermore, the reserve is not further divided up into concessions or reserves and the only accommodation is the Motse Camp and Tarkuni House, which only allow for a maximum of thirty guests at one time in the entire of Tswalu. If you are staying for three nights or more you’ll also get a complimentary private vehicle, guide and tracker to make this your very own private Kalahari. The motto is, if you see another Range Rover on your game drives, complain.
And whilst you really couldn’t get any further from a package holiday, the accommodation at Tswalu truly does have it all ‘wrapped up’ as far as a five-star safari lodge goes, with more luxury, authenticity, exclusivity and conscientiousness than any other in Africa. Having won awards for both their spa and conservation work, you just have to see the efforts they make to look after the wildlife and support local communities to know the lengths they go to look after you.
