The Detail

The Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, extending over 153,000 acres, is part of the largest conservation area in South Africa and is the oldest of all the private reserves. The reserve borders the Kruger National Park, and with no fences between them, the game moves freely through this vast natural reserve.

Sabi Sands is renowned for its superior safari lodges and Big Five sightings. Its diverse habitats ensure a wide variety of wildlife. The luxurious Singita Boulders Lodge is carved out of the earth and inspired by the boulders on which it rests, harmonizing beautifully with its surroundings. The stone-and-thatch lodge is set along the Sand River, blending seamlessly into the rocky landscape to create a restful and relaxing retreat. Vast expanses of glass walls create a sense of space and light, offering guests views of the wildlife-filled landscape from all angles.

The beautifully appointed Boulders Lodge offers discerning guests the quintessential African safari, accompanied by flawless personalized service.

Accommodation at the sophisticated Boulders Lodge includes twelve luxury suites. The spacious suites are designed to ensure privacy and maximize views through glass front-facing walls. These opulent suites feature king-sized beds adorned with Egyptian cotton sheets and a sumptuous lounge area.

Each suite is equipped with a glass-fronted bathroom, offering a huge clawfoot tub overlooking the wilderness, as well as both indoor and outdoor showers. Guests will also enjoy a double-sided fireplace and an elevated timber viewing deck with a heated plunge pool.

The main lodge features a comfortable lounge, a bar area, and a reference library. Boulders Lodge is celebrated for its exceptional cuisine, outstanding service, and magnificent wine cellar. Personal wine tastings are conducted for guests by the lodge’s sommelier. During the day, meals can be enjoyed on the deck overlooking the Sand River and rugged bushveld or beneath the shady Marula trees. Starlit dinners are served around a log fire in the boma or in the privacy of your suite.

Children are well catered for with a range of activities including games, archery, cooking, and a Mini Rangers’ Course.
