Fodor's Expert Review Singita Ebony Lodge
Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa
If Ernest Hemingway had built his ideal home in the African bush, this would be it. From the moment you walk into the main lounge with its genuine antique furniture, leather chairs gleaming with the polish of years of use, old photographs and paintings, mounted game trophies, and hand-carved doors and windows, you'll be transported to Old Africa at its best. Your room gives exactly the same feel—beautiful antiques, a claw-foot bathtub, a four-poster bed, and a dressing room big enough to swing a leopard by the tail. Write in your journal at the antique desk or laze on your deck next to your private plunge pool and soak up the stunning views. The variety of interleading room suites makes this a top choice for intergenerational family safaris.
PROS
- children of all ages are welcome
- the mother lodge of all the Singita properties
- cozy library
CONS
- the beds are very high off the ground—if you have short legs or creak a bit, ask for a stool
