ABOUT US

Sustainability

Singita is committed to making a sustainable difference to local communities and to protecting the environment and wildlife within the area. To date, a number of successful projects have come to fruition, including the building of schools, micro-financing of small businesses, supporting agricultural initiatives as well as training people in the conservation and hospitality sectors. Many of our guests express an interest in contributing towards such initiatives and we are positioned to facilitate this.

Community

Singita has a strong bond with the local communities. Many of our staff live in these communities and are transported to and from their homes on a daily basis. Most of our staff are ex-pupils of the local schools which we support. We have pledged to undertake projects that empower the local people, using resources that are at our disposal. This includes providing funds, access to the reserves, expertise, and getting involved in social outreach projects. We also deliberately manage our lodges in a way that maximises the benefits to local communities so that they can experience the positive effects of eco-tourism.

Our guests are often keen to learn more about African culture. As a result of our community involvement, we are able to share with them an active and positive community which is making strides in improving its situation.

Conservation

At Singita Sabi Sand, Pamushana and Grumeti Reserves we have dedicated teams whose sole focus is to preserve the land. They protect and increase the wildlife to match its natural carrying capacity and this includes environmental care and anti-poaching units.

Our guiding teams on each property are selected on the basis of their passion and knowledge of the bush and then deliberately up-skilled by our Guiding Facilitator to ensure our guests have rich, educational and enjoyable experiences during their time with us.
