In 1925, James Fawcett Bailes acquired Castleton and Ravenscourt, two farms in the area between the Sabi and Sand Rivers, as a private game reserve. The Sabi Sand region was a remote corner of the lowveld, three days' hard driving from the coast, teeming with game, a raw and beautiful landscape. In 1994, as South Africa was opening up to the rest of the world, the Bailes family decided that the time had come to open Singita, their piece of Africa, to discerning visitors.

Accommodation
Boulders Lodge
Contemporary and airy, the Lodge at Boulders is inspired by the rough, natural geometry of the rocks among which it is built. Overlooking the expanse of the Sand River and the plains beyond, Boulders is furnished in simple luxury, using the natural materials, which Africa provides in abundance. The spacious lodge has its own plunge pool.
Ebony Lodge
In the Lodge at Ebony, you will encounter the understated opulence of African colonial style at its most refined. From the cool and sumptuous folds of a leather sofa, you will watch a giraffe browse on a distant acacia, or you can browse in the extensive library during the quiet afternoon.
Set amidst giant ebony trees on the banks of the Sand River, the suites at Ebony are completely private, cool and spacious, and each has its own plunge pool.
Castleton Camp
Castleton Camp, once the private home of the Bailes family, has recently become available for groups of up to 12 guests at a time. Surrounding the classic stone farmhouse with its wide veranda, the chalets at Castleton are luxuriously-appointed in a comfortable, colonial style, and enjoy one of the most beautiful views in the Reserve.
Lebombo Lodge
At Singita Lebombo, you will experience Africa - majestic, unfiltered and unadorned. You will look out from your timber and glass guest unit at the continent's huge canvas.
