As the original Singita lodge, Ebony’s position in the heart of South Africa’s ‘big cat country’ makes for a unique wilderness experience. Situated in Sabi Sands Reserve, a group of private concessions adjacent to Kruger National Park in the lowveld of Mpumalanga, daily drives here never fail to deliver sightings of everything from leopard, lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant, to cheetah, wild dogs and many types of bird. Situated as it is on the banks of the Sand River, Ebony Lodge takes safari design to new levels with a fresh contemporary take on the bush aesthetic. Here interiors are contemporary yet historic with antiques, original artefacts, period chests, authentic hunting memorabilia and original family heirlooms from owner, Luke Bailes’ grandfather, who first bought the concession in 1925. Each of the luxurious twelve suites is immersed in nature, with external walls replaced by canvas and glass to maximize the views. Private pools and outdoor pavilion decks are suspended off the riverbank as if they are hanging off the trees. Activities include everything from mountain biking to archery, guided safari walks, spa treatments and the use of an outdoor gym. A stargazing safari beneath the vast African sky is another must-do.

Singita Ebony Lodge

Nestled deep in the heart of Namibia’s ancient Namib Desert, Sossuvlei Desert Lodge is named after the great Sossusvlei sand dunes that surround it, that with their distinctive pinky red color and sharp edges, are thought to resemble pyramids. Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is an ultra-luxurious, secluded oasis in an otherwise dry, ancient and starkly beautiful landscape. Here just 10 luxurious suites are equipped with every luxury necessary in the desert, including outdoor showers and skylights over every bed for late night star gazing. Perfect for honeymooners, photographers or for those seeking solitude, activities include a sophisticated observatory where together with the resident astronomer, you can discover the wonders of the night sky. Alternatively, there are early morning hot air balloon trips and scenic flights that will give you some sense of what 36 000 hectares looks like from above. But the main attraction here are the dunes. A few standouts to watch out for include the Big Daddy that measures almost 1066 ft and number 45, a 558 ft high star dune that is said to be composed of 5-million- year-old sand.

Nestled between majestic mountains and the picturesque vineyards of Stellenbosch, Delaire Graff owner Laurence Graff laid eyes on the estate for the first time back in 2003 and felt an immediate connection.

ACCOMMODATION

Set within 15 000 hectares of protected marine conservancy on Nosy Ankao, Miavana by Time + Tide is a parallel universe for the modern-day explorer or those of you with a penchant for places that are off-the-beaten track. The establishment of Miavana by Time + Tide as an eco-lodge was not without hard work, it took six years to develop, with Miavana by Time + Tide supporting local conservation efforts to reduce net fishing and monitor wildlife movement on and around the island, long before a pole was put into the ground. This is evident in the success of Miavana by Time + Tide's lemur breeding program and the fact that four species of turtle nest on the shores around the lodge all year round. Adventure and nature enthusiasts need look no further, for Miavana by Time + Tide is an adventure playground par excellence. ROAR AFRICA’s guides will design water and land activities around you, as well as wildlife experiences all underpinned by the absolute uniqueness of Madagascar. As such, it is quite reasonable to start your day wakeboarding or waterskiing at sunrise, followed by diving un-explored reefs or doing a kitesurfing safari across stretches of wild water that no one has ever seen – all before lunch. Afternoons can be taken up with adventure caving through the mountains with your own private helicopter in pursuit or go to Amber Mountain for the afternoon where you will have the opportunity to see several species of lemur, chameleon and the world’s smallest vertebrate, the Brookesia. From fishing to birdwatching, lemur trekking to geological trails, the activities at Miavana by Time + Tide are as megadiverse as the island itself – which is why we say without hesitation that Miavana offers an experiential experience like no other.  

Madagascar

Madagascar is a celebration of the extraordinary; a place where Nature’s creative genius takes flight. In its northern waters, the marine biodiversity culminates. In this region, you will find Nosy Anko, part of a private five-island archipelago. Sink your feet into the pearly sands of a remote island sanctuary where you'll taste sweet jasmine on the breeze while gazing at a thousand sparkling shades of turquoise.
