Where in Africa shall we go?

A Private Manor in the Heart of the Bush
Set within 45,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Singita Castleton offers an ultra-exclusive, private safari experience. Once the personal retreat of the Bailes family, this elegant homestead retains the charm of a traditional African farmhouse while exuding refined luxury. With six beautifully appointed en-suite cottages, the lodge is designed for families and groups seeking absolute privacy, blending rustic authenticity with contemporary sophistication. Expansive verandas, shaded courtyards, and an infinity pool overlooking a wildlife-rich waterhole create a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape.

The lodge’s interiors reflect understated elegance, with curated antiques, rich textures, and inviting communal spaces. A country-style kitchen, extensive wine cellar, and indoor and outdoor dining areas allow for tailored culinary experiences, with menus crafted by a private chef. Alfresco dinners beneath the stars, fireside boma gatherings, and personalized wine tastings elevate every meal into an unforgettable occasion. The lodge’s exclusive Premier Wine Boutique offers a handpicked selection of South Africa’s finest vintages, ensuring a sophisticated pairing with every dish.

Exclusivity extends to Singita Castleton’s curated experiences. A dedicated team—including a private guide, tracker, chef, and butler—ensures a fully bespoke stay. Twice-daily game drives offer unrivaled sightings of the Big Five, while guided bush walks reveal the hidden intricacies of the ecosystem. A variety of personalized activities are available, from fishing excursions to stargazing nights in the bush. Guests can unwind in the wellness center, complete with a fitness pavilion, massage treatment rooms, a yoga deck, and a private tennis court. Families will appreciate a range of engaging children’s activities, including bushcraft lessons and interactive wildlife programs. From tailored adventures to quiet moments of relaxation, every experience at Singita Castleton is crafted to perfection.
