Singita Lebombo manages to achieve something really quite rare and to incredible effect. In combining the interior of an ultra-lux city hotel with the stunning Kruger wilds, it creates the perfect retreat for those who long to experience the thrill of Africa without compromising on style. Expect limited release wines from South Africa\u2019s leading vineyards in an expansive cellar, a personal treatment programme at a\u00a0world-class spa and an elevated\u00a0glass-fronted lounge and bar, for those who want to take it easy and just gaze into the horizon as the sun sets over the bush with a drink in hand.<\/p>\n
Blink and you\u2019ll miss Singita Lebombo. With its rustic tones and natural materials, it blends seamlessly into the vegetated cliff sides of the Lebombo Mountains, overlooking the point where the Sweni and Nwanetsi Rivers merge in its own exclusive concession in the south-west of South Africa\u2019s Kruger National Park. A two-hour drive from the Kruger’s Mpumalanga\u00a0Airport, the wildlife starts as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac.<\/p>\n
Singita Lebombo shuns the familiar Out of Africa decor present in so many luxury safari lodges. \u00a0In its place think New York penthouse come Kruger treehouse. \u00a0Design-led fittings, slick yet comfortable furniture, dark polished wood and black marble all encased in floor to ceiling glass give way to breath-taking views over the lush, game abundant banks of the Nwanetsi River. Clinging to a cliff face, each of the 14 rooms boasts some real stand out features to top off the rustically chic styling, including outside showers and sumptuous daybeds, which will give\u00a0you\u00a0front row seats as the Kruger\u2019s Big Five flock to the river through the heat of the day.<\/p>\n
As ever, down at Black Tomato we really appreciate effortlessly elegant interiors, if possible even when in the wilds of Africa.\u00a0 So, not only does Singita Lebombo offer fantastic opportunities for spotting the Big\u00a0Five with expert guides on foot and by 4×4; but they’ll also take you further into the depths of the Kruger plains by mountain bike.\u00a0 This is a safari vacation – and then some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
