Condé Nast Traveler: Gold List 2025 gives Singita Ebony Lodge a recent formal marker of recognition. Its wider reputation rests on Singita's commitment to eco-conscious accommodation, conservation and empowering local communities. This Sabi Sands setting, thoughtful hospitality and a lodge rhythm where woodland, riverbed and private-reserve quiet shape the safari rhythm, make Singita Ebony a frequent nominee in travel awards, including:
- LaListe Top 1000 Hotel Awards 2026
- Travel Curator's Very Best Awards 2025
- Hotel & Lodge 2025 Awards, winner
Singita Ebony Lodge sits in the Central Western Sector area of Sabi Sands, South Africa, within private-reserve Greater Kruger woodland with exceptional leopard and big-cat access. Guests are able to access 45,000 acres of wildlife sanctuary where the setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape, with wildlife, light and distance shaping the sense of place before each day’s safari begins.
From the UK, access is usually via Johannesburg or Cape Town, followed by a scheduled flight, road transfer or charter depending on the reserve.
South Africa is generally one of the easiest safari countries logistically, especially for families and first-time travellers.
