Mountain Biking in the Kruger
07 July 2008
Singita Introduces Mountain Biking at Lebombo and Sweni Lodges in the Kruger National Park
Singita has introduced an exciting new dimension to its renowned safari experience, now featuring mountain biking as one of the many guest activities on offer at the award-winning Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni lodges in the Kruger National Park. While bicycles are no new invention, the use of them for game viewing in wilderness areas such as the Kruger National Park, certainly is.
Singita offers a small fleet of state-of-the-art Giant mountain bikes with bicycle helmets to allow guests the opportunity to explore areas less travelled, by powering their way through the breathtaking bush landscape accompanied by an experienced Singita ranger.
Renowned for its commitment and philosophy to ‘touch the earth lightly’ this un-motorized activity is not only the ideal way to experience being ‘at one’ with the wilderness, as you cycle in tandem with the movement of the bush, but significantly reduces the impact on the environment.
Being away from the confines of a safari vehicle to experience wild Africa ‘on the ground’, adds an entirely new dimension to the wilderness adventure – providing welcome physical exercise for guests yearning for a work-out in the great outdoors, and satiating the expectations of ‘adrenalin junkies’.
The silence of the wilderness is electrifying, while the rush of adrenalin leads to a heightening of the senses that brings about an entirely unprecedented sensory experience, to present game viewing from a perspective unlike any other.
Found along the far Eastern reaches of the Kruger National Park on the border to Mozambique, the Singita concession boasts some of the highest concentration of wildlife in the Park, including the ‘Big 5’. With safety of paramount concern, guides are experienced in biking safety procedures and encounters with dangerous game and are always equipped with a first aid kit, a rifle and, of course, a puncture repair kit!
Other activities offered at Singita in the Kruger National Park include game drives, bush walks, archery, a fully equipped gym and superb spa and shopping facilities.
