Singita Castleton

Overview

Reminiscent of an African farmhouse Singita Castleton is located in the privately owned Sabi Sand Reserve and offers an intimate safari experience with tree shaded lawns, tennis court, swimming pool, fully equipped gym and spa. Understated interiors with nostalgic references capture the true spirit and history of the original camp, Castleton is perfectly designed for exclusive use with personal staff for a highly personalised and private safari experience. 

The country style kitchen is the heart of the home and guests have the opportunity to participate in informal cooking or baking sessions during their stay, allowing you to learn new cookery skills and recipes that you’ll want to cook again and again. The main farmhouse is complemented by an additional six individual cottages giving you plenty of space and privacy during your stay. 

Watch the animals from the boma with uninterrupted views of the watering hole, spend your days on game drives or walking safaris*, take a spot-lit evening safari with professional guides and trackers revealing the elusive magic of the nocturnal wildlife and join the chef in preparing delicious, freshly prepared meal before spending the evenings stargazing under the clear night sky. 

With their dedication to protecting and preserving the natural environment, community empowerment programmes and everything you need included in your stay there’s nothing to worry about other than having a meaningful and life changing experience.
