Lodge of the Week - Singita Boulders Lodge


Singita Boulders Lodge - A Modern Masterpiece

Boulders Lodge is the younger sister lodge to Ebony and is also set close to the banks of the Sand River. The staggering architecture of the lodge is something to celebrate – a wonderful mix of stone, natural materials and flowing modern design sets the lodge apart. Ten private suites are spread out along the river bank - in addition there are two family units that can accommodate groups of four together. These family units can be used as exclusive residences away from the rest of the lodge - each has its own private entrance and personally catered meal options can be prepared in the attached kitchens. The rooms are inspiring and are all fitted with everything one would expect from a luxury lodge: bar, satellite TV, private pools to dip in during the heat of summer, personal fireplace to sit by on cool winter evenings and a host of accessories. As is synonymous with the Singita brand, no attention to detail or expense has been spared. The service is of the highest standard, the staff gracious and efficient and the setting is incredibly beautiful. A variety of meal options and a selection of fine wines from a remarkable wine cellar (built in to the rocks underlying the main lodge) make for an exceptional culinary adventure. For those looking to be further pampered a luxury on site health spa offers a selection of treatments. Industry-leading and on-going staff training is in place to ensure that everyone from guides and trackers to front and back room staff cater to the guest’s every whim.

Boulders Lodge is situated in the Singita Game Reserve in the centre of the world renowned Sabi Sand Wildtuin on a 6000 hectare portion of the Sabi Sands. Singita has an additional traversing area of 12 000 hectares which gives it access to one of the largest traversing areas in the Sabi Sands whilst still maintaining exclusivity for guests - no more than three vehicles are allowed per sighting. With a lower density of vehicles and lodges than many other areas in the Sabi Sands, sightings are not rushed. Singita offers a very memorable safari experience with consistent lion, leopard and elephant viewing. The wildlife in general is placid - allowing vehicles to approach at a fairly close distance. The birding is good and the scenery is typically enchanting. Apart from game drives, an impressive assortment of activities is offered to guests from walking and cycling to archery and target shooting. One of Singita’s least sung praises is its active involvement in various social upliftment initiatives, where it greatly assists in projects in its local community.

Boulders Lodge is an ideal destination for the discerning traveller looking for a safari and lodging experience that is unparalleled. Although the rates are high, they are justified with what the lodge offers making it relatively good value for money. Everything from beverages (excluding French champagnes) to a good selection of daily activities is included in the price.




Perfectly suited to young and old travelling together, the family suites are connected by a common dining/lounge veranda area where you can dine and play together.
