All you need to know

Intro

Set in the heart of the Sabi Sand Reserve, Singita Castleton is a private and intimate lodge featuring six individual cottages complemented by a swimming pool, wine cellar, gym, tennis court and spa. Living spaces extend outdoors onto broad verandas overlooking a watering hole where animals gather to drink. Reminiscent of an African farmhouse, richly detailed interiors in a neutral palette contrast with traditional tartans and classic prints creating an unbuttoned, lived-in appeal. In this idyllic lodge setting, gracious service from a staff that includes a private guide, tracker, chef, and housekeeper is finely tuned to the dictates and desires of each and every guest.

Highlights

By capturing the spirit of the original Castleton Camp, the lodge retains its historical and elegantly comfortable nature. Castleton combines the best elements of a private safari lodge with the rustic charms of a country farmhouse. Botanical art references, luxurious bedding, provincial furniture and flagstone floors add a nostalgic flair to create a time-honoured ambience. Shared spaces encourage relaxation, togetherness, and a deep engagement with the African wilderness.
