Singita Sabi Sand

Singita built its reputation on a simple idea: that luxury and conservation can work together rather than against each other. Every rate helps fund the protection of hundreds of thousands of hectares of African wilderness, and the guiding is among the best on the continent.

The suites are glass, stone and canvas, open to the bush so the line between inside and out all but disappears. You fall asleep to the sound of the reserve and wake to it too.

The Verdict

A safari here isn't cheap, and it shouldn't be. This is travel with a conscience and a view, and proof that the most meaningful luxury of all might be a wild place kept wild.
