SINGITA IS COMMITTED TO SAVING AFRICA’S WILDERNESS

We’ve been preserving African wilderness for the past two decades. Through an exceptional safari experience with 12 award-winning lodges and camps across South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, Singita is able to partially fund the protection and preservation of over a million acres of pristine land and existing wildlife populations, not to mention help create economic independence within local communities surrounding the reserves.

Travellers choose to stay at Singita because of the expansive space and beauty of the reserves, limited guest and vehicle numbers, extraordinarily consistent game viewing and the exceptional care that is taken of each guest during their stay. Guests leave a Singita safari being transformed for a lifetime and having made a contribution to the legacy of Africa.

Conservation at Singita is made up of biodiversity, community and sustainability – each holding equal importance in our aim to achieve our 100-year purpose.

Dedicated teams on each of Singita’s properties across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Tanzania are committed to protecting, maintaining and enhancing the million acres of land under their care.

Every guest stay contributes to our conservation initiatives to ensure that our children’s children will be able to enjoy pristine wilderness areas in Africa.
