Singita’s story dates back almost a century ago and started in the Lowveld, Zimbabwe where grandfather of the founder, Luke Bailes acquired 30,000-acre traversing land, which would later become the Sabi Sand Reserve.

It was then transformed over time from a former hunting concession to an exclusive conservation reserve where all species are protected. It has since expanded to South Africa, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Zimbabwe’s safari is very popular with international tourists. It was recently named the world’s top destination for weddings so far in 2022.
