Top choice in Kruger National Park
This 15-room flagship ultraluxury lodge on Singita's private concession in Kruger's Lebombo Mountains is themed around a bird's nest, with each open-plan suite built among trees high atop a bluff and clad in oversized twigs. All have views down to the Sweni River (Nos 4 and 5 are the best), and you can choose to bed down on your private deck.
Already with a light footprint, Lebombo (and the staff village) now run on solar power. Mega-prides of lions frequent the area.
