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.
Game Drives
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.
Guided Safari Walks
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.
Stargazing
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.
Fitness Centre
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.
Swimming
The large pool on the front lawn offers a full day of leisure. With pool toys and comfortable loungers on the deck, guests can relax or play while enjoying an unobstructed view of the waterhole and the wildlife that frequents it.
Cooking
The country-style kitchen is the heart of the homestead, inviting guests to visit at any time. You can join the chef for an informal cooking lesson or simply watch as meals are prepared.
Wellness
The African wilderness provides the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Singita offers tailored treatments that draw on the continent’s healing traditions and use essential oils to refresh and revive. Every massage or therapy can be customized to your preferences, ensuring a personalized and restorative experience.

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!
