Everything is created around the natural environment, blending in, inviting in, and ensuring that nothing is impacted too heavily by the humans who come there to observe and enjoy.
This design is part of the owners’ commitment to the emerging of ecotourism and conservation principles in a bid to preserve and protect Africa’s wilderness. Ever since the first Singita lodge was opened in 1993, the owners have been leaders in eco-conscious hospitality and building a good relationship with local communities who can then benefit from tourism and nature conservation too.

Everything in the design and décor at Boulders Lodge has a contemporary air of tranquillity that honours Africa in an authentic way.
