Singita Lebombo Lodge

Dining Guests at Lebombo encounter original cuisine inspired by African flavors and guided by Western culinary tradition. Here, the dining experience is light and rustic with local ingredients enriching the flavors. In summer, warm days are complemented with chilled fruity soups, refreshing sorbets and iced yogurt smoothies before setting out on safari. Cooler winter evenings are warmed with delights such as African peanut butter and butternut soup. Imagine dining under the stars in the glow of a boma fire, while an array of grilling meats and vegetables scent the air. Menus cater to both adventurous and more conservative tastes, and Lebombo’s exquisite silo cellar offers rare and sought-after vintages.

Philanthropy The Singita School of Cooking community project was launched in 2007 by the Singita Sweni head chef at the time, with the support of one of his sous chefs. They created a chef-training concept focused on unemployed young people from the local communities. The project has been extremely successful and with over 300 young people interviewed each year, only 8 candidates are accepted. As vocational skills training is very much lacking within rural communities in South Africa, Singita and the community place great value on this particular project. The training provides skills that will not only impact a student’s future but also that of their dependents and communities. MOZAMBIQUE

Activities Singita Lebombo Lodge was created as a transient witness to the land, when Singita was granted the rights to a concession in the southeast corner of Kruger National Park. Rangers say the park holds some of the highest concentrations of game on the continent. Every morning and evening, Land Rover safaris offer new excitement, from large prides of lion to abundant herds of buffalo or a solitary rhino, all seen against a backdrop of rivers, cliffs and an incredible diversity of flora. Guided bush walks and a visit to the Singita School of Cooking can also be arranged. The on-site Singita Boutique & Gallery offers art, sculpture, ethnic crafts, jewelry and safari fashions.
