Steeped in character and a sense of nostalgic adventure, <a href="http://singita.com/lodge/singita-sabora-tented-camp/" target="_blank">Singita Sabora Tented Camp</a> surprises guests with an opulence that is delightfully out-of-place with the rugged terrain of the surrounding savannah.</p>

</div>
<p>One of the most wonderful things about the camp is the intimacy with the landscape that it offers guests. Visitors are fully immersed in this pristine wilderness and its spectacular wildlife, with just a tent flap separating them from the elements. This experience extends beyond the accommodation itself to the unforgettable moments that play out while away from the camp.</p>

<p>In an effort to continuously delight and surprise, the team at Singita Sabora Tented Camp have been known to set up a “bush brunch” for couples and small groups while out on their morning game drive. The vehicle will bump along a sandy track and come to Nyuki; a beautiful spot under two flat-topped acacia trees whose thorny branches entwine overhead to form a natural umbrella. Here the guests will sit, shaded from the sun and with a fabulous view of the Serengeti, and enjoy a private meal in a truly unique location. </p>

<p>The scene is set around a Persian rug laid out on the grass, with traditional wood-and-canvas campaign chairs and Persian pillows for extra comfort, and a woven picnic hamper brimming with freshly-prepared food. The menu might include homemade muffins, a selection of cheeses, a stack of pancakes, croissants filled with brie and cranberry preserve, or spinach and ricotta quiche. Those with a smaller appetite can enjoy a brightly-coloured fresh fruit platter, a breakfast parfait and some wholewheat bread, baked especially that morning. After that feast, it might be difficult to keep for guests to keep their eyes open, but you never know what might be just around the corner as the game drive continues…</p>

Proximity with the animals, exposure to the elements and the awakening of all your senses make for a thrilling adventure unlike any other. This unique experience is even more special if it includes a night spent under a canopy of stars.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15902" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sleeping_out_3.jpg" alt="Sleeping Under the Stars at Singita Pamushana Lodge, Zimbabwe" width="770" height="512" srcset="http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sleeping_out_3.jpg 770w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sleeping_out_3-300x199.jpg 300w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sleeping_out_3-768x511.jpg 768w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sleeping_out_3-320x213.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px" /></p>
<p>At <a href="http://singita.com/lodge/singita-pamushana-lodge-2/" target="_blank">Singita Pamushana Lodge</a> in <a href="http://singita.com/region/singita-pamushana/" target="_blank">Zimbabwe</a>, guests are able to spend a few hours or even the whole night in a luxurious bed on the private outdoor deck of their suite, overlooking the shimmering Malilangwe Dam below. It’s the ultimate in romance; the hazy folds of the mosquito net around you, the stars flickering overhead, the sounds of the bush lulling you to sleep. The faraway cries of hyena and jackal echo in the distance along with the distant and unmistakeable rumble of a lion.</p>
<p>It is an experience at once exhilarating and serene, almost primal in its ability to make everyday life disappear into the background. There is a natural sense of vulnerability, but it is this feeling that allows you to fully connect with your environment. The wilderness at night is an astounding place, full of smells and sounds that go unnoticed during the day.</p>
<p>As dawn approaches, the day is welcomed by the birds as they begin to stir and the first rays of sunshine appear. It’s the best alarm clock in the world, waking up to chirps and twitters, and the slow realisation of where you are. The stars fade as the sun rises over the eastern hills of the <a href="http://singita.com/region/singita-pamushana/" target="_blank">Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve</a> and light streams across your bed. With one adventure ticked off your list, it’s time for the next one: the morning game drive!</p>
<p><em><a href="http://singita.com/lodge/singita-pamushana-lodge-2/" target="_blank">Singita Pamushana Lodge</a> is the ecotourism arm of the 130,000-acre Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, an extraordinary wilderness area next to the Gonarezhou National Park in southeastern Zimbabwe. Its role is to help foster the sustainability of the wildlife and broader ecology, while enabling guests to share the magic of the lodge and the Reserve.

<p>The idea of measuring luxury in terms of star ratings is becoming increasingly outdated as the definition of luxury itself evolves to mean so much more than good service and exquisite surroundings. The word has come to be defined by unique experiences and the privilege of being in remote, unspoilt places where silence and peace exist in stark contrast to the relentless pace and distractions of everyday life. Many travellers are striving for digital detox too, taking a mental break from electronic devices and plugging into the natural world instead. This is especially relevant as we approach the festive season, when priorities tend to shift towards indulging ourselves and others, and seeking rejuvenation ahead of the new year.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8221" alt="The Singita Spa Experience" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Singita guests are looking for authentic, meaningful, one-of-a-kind experiences and spa-going, especially on safari, becomes an extension of this desire to transcend the ordinary. Having a massage outdoors with organic Kalahari melon-infused body butter after an action-packed game drive is an experience unique to Africa.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8222" alt="The Singita Spa Experience" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>A safari spa is so much more than a place to be physically pampered though. Guests often describe a fundamental sense of well being that may point to a subconscious yearning to reconnect with nature. The gentle rhythm of safari life, punctuated by twice-daily game drives, engages and sharpens all the senses facilitating this reconnection to the wilderness, to others and yourself. In turn, Singita’s philosophy of protecting and preserving large tracts of wilderness for future generations begins to resonate with guests along with an increased awareness about communities, conservation and sustainability and just how much is at stake.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8225" alt="The Singita Spa Experience" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_6.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8226" alt="The Singita Spa Experience" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/spa_7.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>CEO Luke Bailes believes that there’s an authenticity of place at each of Singita’s lodges that is not only a rarity but touches guests spiritually, emotionally and physically. “Being in the wilderness heightens the senses beyond anything that could ever be experienced back at home. People have a sense of well being, as if they are participating in something far bigger than themselves,” he explains.</p>

<p>Singita’s spa menus include indulgent beauty rituals and specialised hydrating, anti-ageing treatments using Dermalogica, but most guests request the healing power of touch. For massage therapies, subtly scented, nourishing oils and balms from Healing Earth’s Earth Soul range are used. Developed in South Africa, these pure products harness the medicinal powers of indigenous plants, flowers and herbs and are free from petrochemicals, synthetic ingredients, colourants and preservatives.</p>

<p>There are few things more relaxing than heading to the spa for a couple of hours after a morning game drive or in the still heat of the afternoon. Dried monkey oranges, indigenous fruits that are part of the calabash family, are often used as natural massage tools to ease tension and release pressure points. For guests who are accustomed to sophisticated, cutting edge spa therapies in first-world cities, a massage in this setting is unique and something to talk about and remember for years to come.</p>
