While South Africa has nearly every form of recreation you might desire, most visitors to Singita and the surrounding area are here primarily to view wildlife. This area of South Africa is an absolutely awesome game-viewing destination. With vast protected areas, we have more variety and sheer abundance of game than almost anywhere else on earth. 

Once you arrive at Singita, you’ll have an opportunity to freshen up, have a drink, relax and prepare yourself for your late afternoon game safari experience. If you’ve never been on a safari, you’re in for the experience of a lifetime. You can’t imagine what its like until you’ve actually had the experience.

Your ranger and tracker, both well trained and very experienced in their work, will meet you at your lodge and assist you aboard a specially equipped Landrover where you will receive an introduction to the area and be given some very important information to help you enjoy your experience. In this part of Africa there is a cornucopia of animal and plant life but what you might see on any given day or safari can’t be guaranteed. While you may not see everything on any single game drive, you can expect to see antelope, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, hippo, leopard, lion, rhino, springbok, zebra and much more. Sometimes, your ranger may even stop and take you for a short walk to get closer to a particular group of animals. Rest assured, your safety is of utmost importance but when you return you will have seen enough wildlife to be thrilled and ready for the next day’s experience. While on your drive, your ranger and tracker will also point out unusual plants, birds, geological formations and even show you specific animal tracks and point out how they track many of these animals not only from their tracks but also from the way the animal marks it’s territory.

When that magical sunset arrives, you’ll be treated to “Sundowners”, a special treat of drinks and snacks as you relax and enjoy the solitude that you can experience only in the vast expanse of wilderness. After Sundowners you are on your wat to see the wonders of the nocturnal predators who come out after sundown. Gradually you will make your way back to your lodge where you can shower, relax, have a drink and get ready for a delicious African dinner hosted by your ranger guide. It’s a great time to ask those questions you may have forgotten to ask while on your game drive.

After a refreshing night’s sleep, you’ll be awakened very early, have a hot beverage and snack and be ready for your early morning game drive. You will find many wild animals are most active in the early morning when it is cool and in the late afternoon near sunset. Again, there’s no guarantee as to what you might see, but be assured, your ranger and tracker were up very early to scout the terrain. After an exciting early morning drive, you’re ready to return to your lodge for a magnificent breakfast. After breakfast, you’re free to spend your mid-day relaxing by the pool, going on a foot safari or exploring other sights near your camp.

While there are many activities available for your entertainment, you’ll find the game drives to be one of the highlights of your trip to South Africa.
