Why we love it
The original Bailes family home built by Luke Bailes grandfather James Fawcett Bailes, has been converted into the Singita Castleton exclusive use Lodge. Set within 45,000 acres of private reserve, Singita Castleton consists of a main house with communal living spaces, and accommodation located in six individual cottages within the grounds, catering for up to 12 people.
Singita Castleton retains the charm and ambience of an old family country farmhouse with the exclusivity of a private
luxury safari lodge, with the added benefit of extensive high-end facilities, including a vast garden, swimming pool, wine cellar, gym, tennis court and spa treatment room. Guests can relax together on the beautiful deep verandah, gather around the traditional ‘boma’, both of which overlook the watering hole where animals frequently gather to drink, yet the individual cottages allow guests to retreat to the privacy of their own space.
Daily game drives provide the perfect opportunity to get up close to Africa's incredible animals, while spotlit evening drives reveal the elusive magic of nocturnal Africa.
Set off from the Singita Castleton with an expert guide and tracker to experience the bush up close and personal.
Set in the heart of the Sabi Sands, nighttime is accompanied with a clear, full sky of sparkling stars - making stargazing here an unforgettable experience.
With a tennis court and state of the art equipment, guests can work out with a picturesque view of the bush before unwinding with a massage treatment at the spa.
Cool off in Castleton's front lawn pool, where guests can relax, play or watch passing wildlife visiting the neighbouring water hole.
Expand your culinary talents with an informal cooking course held with the chef in the country style kitchen.
Amongst beautiful museum quality, fine art prints and works by some of the most respected artists on the continent, there are many pieces specially designed for Singita.
Whether you are a connoisseur or just enjoy the occasional glass of wine, Castleton's experienced sommeliers delight in introducing guests to a vast selection of varieties from around the world.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
