Ebony Camp enquiries and reservations: bookkruger@madbookings.com
Ebony Lodge has a commanding presence
and an essence that evokes an intense feeling of familiarity - as
if visiting a congenial family home. Sumptuous coziness is simply
the order of the day - tempting you into relaxation and reflection.
The secluded thatched suites are the epitome of elegant comfort,
with rooms styled with an eclectic mix of colours, fabrics and textures.
A colonial feel with Egyptian linen, African throws, antiques and
modern luxuries combine to create a homely, lived-in feel.
From the vast wooden deck to the pool overlooking the Sand River,
it’s not uncommon to see elephant, buffalo and antelope grazing
only metres away at any time of day. Perhaps this is where the notion
of an ‘armchair safari’ was perfected... |

We welcome children at our lodges. Children over the

Family suites at Ebony & Boulders, Singita Sabi Sand
The family suites include an en-suite master bedroom
and an en-suite twin bedroom, a lounge area with a stone fireplace and
a private viewing deck with a heated plunge pool.
Lodge within a lodge:
Connected by a common dining/lounge veranda area, two family suites can
be secured as a small ‘lodge within a lodge’ . i.e. you book
two adjoining family suites and enjoy a private dining room and lounge
area.
When booking ‘a lodge within a lodge’ you have the option
of booking a private Land Rover and guide as well as your own private
chef and butler (there is an additional charge for this service).
Please note that when booking children under the age of 10, the ‘lodge
within a lodge’ option including these private services is compulsory.
Safari activities are flexible and developed to suit your needs. As the
suites have private access, your game drives depart directly from your
door.
Children under the age of 10 are not accommodated in the main lodge (e.g.
the gym, spa and dining area) as this can sometimes be distracting for
other guests. For safety reasons children under the age of 6 are not permitted
on a game drive vehicle.
Wine
Whether you are a connoisseur or just enjoy the occasional glass of wine,
our experienced sommeliers will delight in introducing you to a vast selection
of wines from all over the world, and will recommend the best choice to
complement your meal.
Enjoy a wine-tasting where our sommeliers will guide you through several
vineyards, countries, years and cultivars; and encourage you to sample
those which they sense may suit your taste. Singita sommeliers are a group
of young and enthusiastic internationally travelled individuals, dedicated
to enhancing our guests’ knowledge and enjoyment of wines.
Through Singita Premier Wine Direct guests may purchase wines from our
cellars: either to be taken home at the end of their trip or conveniently
delivered door-to-door. As an addition to our cellar purchases, we have
secured allocations of these highly limited, sought-after wines, including
‘Icons’, ‘Single Vineyard’ and ‘Limited
Release’ wines, directly from leading wineries in South Africa.
Stored in our temperature-controlled cellars, it is unlikely that you
will find these wines freely available anywhere else.
Spa
The Singita wellness philosophy takes your personal rejuvenation to a
level well beyond any pampering you’ve previously experienced. All
our peaceful lodge spas, where nature provides its own special brand of
calm, present the ultimate escape, sure to restore equilibrium to body
and mind.
Whether you're in need of a cleansing facial, a relaxing deep-tissue massage
or a scintillating body polish, our professional therapists will assess
your specific needs and offer personalised care through a variety of therapies
and skincare treatments using the Dermalogica range. This skincare system
has superb products for every skin type.
If all the 'living it up' at the lodges motivates you to step up your
exercise programme, a visit to one of our fully equipped gyms is just
the thing to do – and with views of the bush, you can keep an eye
on the action outside while you work out.
The Singita Shop offers a wealth of treasures that have
been carefully selected from all corners of the African continent, including
artifacts, cloth, skins, beads and carvings.
You’ll find jewellery crafted from Africa’s precious metals
and gems, sculptures for the discerning art collector and bespoke furnishings
that allow guests to recreate ‘the safari dream’ of sophistication
within their own homes.
Many of the pieces are especially designed for Singita and crafted by
local craftsmen and artists. Included in the collection are also some
of the most extraordinary and sought-after artworks: silver sculptures
by world-renowned Patrick Mavros of Zimbabwe, fine-art prints of museum
quality, and works by some of Africa’s most respected wildlife artists.
Here too, you can find a range of quality branded Singita safari-wear.
It is most certainly worth experiencing the ambience of the Singita Shop
and viewing our merchandise. The Singita Shop offers a worldwide shipping
service.
