Overview
Perched like a glass-and-steel eagle’s nest on a cliff overlooking the N’wanetsi River, Singita Lebombo is a landmark of "light-footprint" architecture in the Kruger National Park. Designed to mimic the nests of the African vultures that populate the area, the lodge uses wood, steel, and expansive glass walls to dissolve the barrier between the guest and the bush. It represents a radical shift from the traditional "dark-wood" safari aesthetic, instead championing a minimalist, contemporary design that emphasizes the raw, untouched beauty of the South African wilderness.

Why We Recommend
“Perched like a glass-and-steel eagle’s nest over the N’wanetsi River, Lebombo is the frontier of safari design. We recommend it for its "light-footprint" philosophy and the most exclusive wildlife viewing in the Kruger, where the bush meets world-class contemporary art and wine.”
