Singita Kruger National Park
Singitaβs concession in the Kruger National Park was granted in 2001 in part, because of Singitaβs outstanding record and steadfast commitment to conservation as well as its minimal environmental footprint. Singita Kruger National Parkβs mission is to create and maintain a balance between conservation, community development, and ecotourism.
The design of Lebombo Lodge was inspired by the many eaglesβ nests built into the cliff face of the river bank, resulting in organic, light-filled structures, floating between river and sky. All communal areas of the lodge have been pushed out into nature to ensure that the outside bursts in, offering immersive and meditative spaces set in a dramatic landscape of giant euphorbia trees.

Giraffe Manor
Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, owned by The Safari Collection. Often referred to as one of the most instagrammed properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobiβs most iconic buildings. The historic manor house has extraordinary appeal, that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately faΓ§ade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that itβs like walking into the film Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author Karen Blixen.
One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschildβs giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary. Giraffe Manor can be booked for the night or as part of a complete tailor-made safari with The Safari Collection.
