Singita is a delightful journey of discovery
At Singita fine wine and cuisine are as much a part of the Singita guest experience as pristine game viewing and luxurious lodge living. Created to please discerning cosmopolitan palates, Singita's gourmet game lodge fare compares with the world's finest cuisine.
 | Exotic venison such as springbok and ostrich are combined with the freshest African flavors and ingredients to craft simple, delicious food with great culinary flair. Guests also have the rare opportunity to taste some traditional African culinary treasures. All Singita lodges offer spectacular bush breakfasts, al fresco meals on outstretched wooden decks, and dining indoors or under the stars in reed enclosed traditional bomas. |

| Ebony Lodge's roots are founded in our Colonial past. Breakfasts and luncheons are enjoyed on the lower deck overlooking the Sand River and African savanna. Freshly baked breads and pastries and cut seasonal fruit adorn the buffet in traditionally carved wooden bowls and clay moulded platters. After a thrilling early morning game drive, enjoy delectable eggs Benedict with a twist of biltong and chilli-infused hollandaise, or perhaps a berry and yogurt Brule for those that prefer something lighter. |  |
 | Boulders Lodge is modern, contemporary Africa, which is reflected in the cuisine. Fusions of Asian, pan-African and modern European flavors and textures are primary influences. On a balmy African evening, delight the palette with a chilled watermelon and red pepper gazpacho followed by chermoula marinated tiger prawns with avocado salsa. For the more adventurous, sample the fillet of ostrich with a cinnamon espresso jus. |
Guests at Singita Lebombo encounter something truly original: a cuisine inspired by African flavors and yet guided by the Western culinary tradition. The dining experience is light and rustic, enhanced by the sublime natural setting.
 | In summer, warm days are complemented with chilled fruity soups and refreshing sorbets. Iced yoghurt smoothies amplify the senses before setting out on safari. Healthy vegetable salsas and homemade pickles accompany salads and flame-grilled meats. Local ingredients enrich the flavors. Enjoy dishes such as Springbok fillets with a fresh papino, dill and ginger relish. Scoop indigenous peppadews onto a mixed green salad. Dunk homemade breads into African aubergine pate. Relish South African cheeses with a glass of crisp Cape wine. Snack on roasted corn nuts and venison biltong while on a game drive. |
The cooler winter evenings are warmed with delights such as African peanut butter and butternut soup, perhaps followed by kudu loin, served on sweetcorn fritters with a chunky mushroom, thyme and leek sauce. Dine under the stars in the glow of a boma fire, while an array of grilling meats and vegetables scent the air.
In the morning, build up the kind of appetite that only the fresh African air can. Start with homemade granola and personalize it with your choice of cut fruits. Snack on a freshly baked croissant as the chefs prepare your omelette in front of you. Or have an adventurous morning and sample of the breakfast specials, like the poached egg with smoked springbok on a toasted English muffin with tarragon cream. On departure from the lodge, request a packed picnic. Unwrap a fresh chocolate and hazelnut muffin, enjoy succulent sandwiches, savour fresh fruits and reflect on the miracle that is Singita. |  |
We have menus that cater to both the adventurous and more conservative tastes and all special dietary requirements can be accommodated. Whether you are vegetarian, gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant or have special religious dietary requirement, we will accommodate your needs - please let us know in advance.
 | Complementing the exceptional cuisine, each Singita lodge has a unique and comprehensive wine cellar. Singita's wine program consists of approximately 35,000 bottles of the finest South African wines. Newly released red wines are matured in our temperature-controlled Cape Town cellar for up to 5 years, to ensure that they reach full potential. |
