On a scale all its own, Singita knows how to meld luxury with edginess, euphoria with adrenaline bursts and unspoiled nature with pampering. Known for its lodges throughout Africa, it also offers nine private villas tucked away in the most illustrious bushlands and nature reserves. One of them, Ebony Villa, roosts on the banks of the Sand River in the midst of South Africa’s electric Big Cat Country. Two side-by-side family suites allow for both intimacy and connection for groups of up to eight fellow travelers. Accented with local art, handmade furniture and classical safari elements, Ebony Villa harmonizes with the landscape while supplying creature comforts aplenty, from four-poster beds to a gleaming pool. Butlers (banakeli), chefs and safari guides customize your stay.
