The absence of fencing allows animals migrate between the two reserves. Lying in the shade of jackalberry trees, Singita Ebony combines an outstanding big five safari with extravagant accommodation making it the perfect choice for honeymooners or couples wanting exclusivity.

There are twelve secluded thatched suites with cozy rooms styled with an eclectic mix of colors, fabrics and textures. Each suite at Singita Ebony offers a separate lounge area as well as a large wooden decks overlook the river and private swimming pool for lazy afternoons. It’s not uncommon to see elephant, buffalo and antelope grazing only metres away at any time of day. The decor is a combination of tribal masks, colonial furniture and vibrant ethnic weaves with bright splashes of saffron, amber and crimson. Traditional English linen, African throws, antiques and modern luxuries combine to create a homely, lived-in feel. All rooms also boast creature comforts and also have their own in-room safe, overhead fan, double-sided fireplace and mini bar and fridge.
