Singita Castleton seamlessly blends the elegance of a private safari lodge with the cozy charm of a country farmhouse. The interiors are adorned with antique pieces and refurbished furnishings that enhance the authentic atmosphere, which flows out to expansive, covered verandas overlooking serene lawns, a waterhole often visited by wildlife, and a large swimming pool.
The picturesque stone-walled homestead, along with six double en-suite cottages, is ideal for families and groups of friends, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests. Singita Castleton offers exclusive amenities, including a Bocce court, a well-stocked wine cellar, a country-style kitchen, and a tennis court. For relaxation and wellness, guests can enjoy a fitness center, a yoga pavilion, and dedicated massage rooms. Outdoor dinners around the firepit, with uninterrupted views of the landscape, create unforgettable starlit evenings.
The six guest cottages are separate from the main house. Two of these cottages are connected, making them perfect for families with children.
Guests at Castleton have access to a private field guide, tracker, and Land Rover for the entirety of their stay. The daily game drives offer a close encounter with Africa’s remarkable wildlife, while the late afternoon outings reveal the mystique of the nocturnal world. These drives are conducted in state-of-the-art Land Rovers, with each vehicle accommodating up to six guests. During your time at Singita Sabi Sand, you may encounter a wide variety of animals, including leopards, lions, rhinos, large buffalo herds, elephants, reedbucks, hyenas, hippos, nyalas, cheetahs, wild dogs, and numerous bird species.
Walking safaris offer an intimate way to experience the wilderness. Led by an expert guide and tracker, you’ll explore the bush on foot, observing the flora, fauna, and landscapes up close.
Gazing at a sky filled with stars is a truly awe-inspiring experience. With minimal light pollution, your view of the night sky will be crystal clear, allowing for a breathtaking connection with the vast African heavens.
The private fitness center at Singita Castleton provides a perfect spot to maintain your workout routine while on vacation. With views of the surrounding bush, you can keep an eye on the wildlife as you exercise on modern equipment.

I wanted to arrange a visit to South…
I wanted to arrange a visit to South Africa , bringing my family of 14, to celebrate my 80th birthday in 2027. Sara was unbelievable. Not only did she come up with a great itinerary but my many emails to her were answered almost immediately. I could not fault her customer service and I would highly recommend using her services to anyone planning a trip to South Africa, be it a safari or a combination safari/travel trip.

Great experience with Sara from Safari.com!
We planned a journey to namibia and found safari.com as an interesting travel agency. Sara was fantastic. She had great ideas and always tried to realize what we had in our mind and finally planned an amazing journey for us. We skipped plans, hotels and changed ideas, but all the time she was very professional, patient and enthusiatic about planning the perfect journey. Even in Namibia we stayed in contact with her and she helped us when we where behind schedule because of delays. Thank you so much Sara for planning this for us, we will keep this journey in our hearts and minds! I would highly recommend safari.com and specially Sara to anyone planning a journey in Africa!

3rd Safari. Best Service Ever.
For our South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana safari trip I went to Safari.com to do the planning. I gave them where we wanted to go, what we wanted to do, and how many days to do it in. Sara became my planner. I would add that we do 2-3 international trips each year; me doing the initial planning, a local agency doing the details. Sara was one of the best. Her communications were clear and to the point. She understood the many many many questions I asked and responded each time rapidly. We changed the itinerary many many many times and her responses showed how knowledgeable and experienced she is. I was so impressed I contacted her boss Oliver to express my satisfaction with everything she and Safari.com provided. We booked and now look forward to our third African safari. Sara, we thank you.
