ARCHITECTURE

Singita Sabi Sands Reserve

View Project

Ebony Lodge, located in the heart of the Sabi Sand Reserve , has been
thoughtfully reimagined to blend its rich heritage with a fresh, nature-centered design.

The recent redesign, led by GAPP, Hesse Kleinloog Studio ,and Cecile &Boyd’s, focused on enhancing the lodge’s connection to its stunning surroundings while preserving its timeless elegance. The main lodge area has been opened to improve flow and bring the outdoors in, with new features like a bar-deli and a tented pavilion in the dining area that create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The updated interiors reflect a modern take on traditional safari elements, using natural materials such as timber, linen, and adobe to create a soothing, authentic atmosphere. The design balances contemporary lines with earthy textures, ensuring a luxurious yet grounded feel throughout. With enhanced communal spaces, a dedicated Conservation Room, and refreshed suites, the lodge now offers an even more immersive and intimate guest experience, deeply connected to the African landscape.
