Safari Conversations - the Singita podcast

Welcome to ‘Safari Conversations’ – the Singita Podcast.

30 years ago, our Founder, Luke Bailes, had a dream of creating a pioneering ecotourism brand that could help save pristine wilderness areas in Africa for future generations.

The first chapter of this story started when we built Singita Ebony Lodge, in the Sabi Sand, in 1993.

But truly, it began long before that, on a piece of land his grandfather owned and where they spent holidays as a family at Castleton.

So much has happened in the last 30 years, to where we find ourselves now – owning and managing award-winning lodges across four countries in Africa. And, we are looking to expand our conservation footprint even further.

As a brand we’ve always been devoted to conservation and working alongside NGO partners and guests who share our vision.

But at the heart of it all, you’ll find the many incredible people who work at Singita.

Welcome to our Podcast – where you’ll meet some of the very talented people who make our life-changing safaris a reality.
