このコンテンツについて

 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.Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks 旅行記・解説 社会科学

  • The Grounded Safari: When Walking through Singita Kruger Changes Everything

    The Grounded Safari: When Walking through Singita Kruger Changes Everything
    2025/05/08
    In this heartwarming episode, former Head Guide, Solomon Ndlovu, talks to Jonathan Lachowitz, a devoted regular guest who keeps returning to the wild magic of Singita Kruger Park (South Africa) to walk all day without a schedule. On his visits Jonathan walks with Solomon and Tracker, Sunday Ndhlovu. After 70 days walking together, the trio has an easy friendship built on trust, shared memories, and inside jokes.

    Jonathan shares what pulls him back time after time – from the therapeutic power of switching off from his busy life, to the perspective only walking safaris provide. It highlights the special bond that's formed while they explore the region, complete with portable espresso machine and a three-legged stool. There's no boredom, as the bush changes with every season, every day and hour.

    It takes an immense amount of trust between Jonathan, Sunday, and Solomon – the guide and tracker who navigate the bush with vast tracking experience, using their senses (hearing the wind, noticing when a giraffe stops chewing, and more!) The adventures have taught each man valuable life lessons. Walking in the Lebombo concession has become something of a soul journey that has helped Jonathan understand his place in the grand scheme of things.

    Join us as two friends chat about the magic of observing nature on foot, conservation, and finding precious moments of stillness in the African wilderness. The perfect reminder of how small we are, nature's wisdom, and why places like Singita matter for generations to come. Nature talks to you. Just listen.

  • Wild and Free: The Evolving Safari Traveller and Going Solo

    Wild and Free: The Evolving Safari Traveller and Going Solo
    2025/03/17
    Today we dive into an interesting conversation about the changing safari traveller and why the wilderness still calls to a new generation.
    Mandisa Magwaxaza, a travel professional and journalist who works at Singita, chats with travel journalist & Communications Specialist, Ondela Mlandu. They share insights on solo travel; on younger guests who choose to travel consciously; social media’s influence; and how to travel more sustainably. They discuss the rise of multi-generational travel. Solo travel has emerged as a trend, travellers ditching stereotypes and seeking life-affirming adventures. Rwanda appeals to solo female travellers because they can (safely) travel alone without feeling alone. Exploring and learning are key to any Singita experience.

    Hear more about a few of the community programmes Singita supports via its conservation NGOs - The Singita Lowveld Trust and The Grumeti Fund. Mandisa’s favourite programmes are the three Singita Community Culinary Schools training new generations of chefs, and the Early Childhood Development schools improving education for community children aged 0 to 5 years old.

    Nature is incredibly special. The discussion beautifully explores how nature provides mental wellbeing, healing, and rest, suggesting this is why safari experiences continue to be transformative after all this time. There's an innate wisdom in nature that guides us, and each moment at Singita allows guests to reconnect with the simplicity of nature, as well as the people.

    Mindfulness draws us to nature as we escape daily pressures to find peace. For travellers young and old, solo or in a family group, this could be why safari still attracts the wild at heart and connects people to conservation.

    Join us for a conversation about the safari industry and why we believe it still transforms lives.

  • Wheels Through the Wild - The Wagora Bike Ride for The Grumeti Fund's Anti-Poaching Heroes

    Wheels Through the Wild - The Wagora Bike Ride for The Grumeti Fund's Anti-Poaching Heroes
    2025/01/16
    Saddle up and get ready to be inspired!

    In this episode, we're joined by two amazing colleagues from The Grumeti Fund (GF), Singita's conservation partner in Tanzania. Skyler Nuelle (Head of Partnerships & Impact Analysis, GF) chats to Matt Perry (GM: Grumeti Fund) and Glen Steyn (Head of Anti-poaching, GF) about the Wagora Bike Ride.

    They talk about how the event got its name, the route, and the epic adventures you could have along the way with the anti-poaching scouts.

    Matt shares the emotional story of Kitaboka Wagora, an incredible scout who sadly lost his life while on duty, and how this five-day event honours his legacy and raises awareness of the vital work of The Grumeti Fund. The event also raises crucial funds to support the Anti-Poaching scouts and dogs. These people sacrifice so much to protect this landscape for ecotourism.

    We dive into the details with Glen – the dangerous work of the scouts; their daily routine of long hours and far distances day and night, 365 days a year; facing wildlife on foot and the role of the dogs in anti-poaching. Hear how Glen planned the scenic routes for the ride (three-day bike ride, 50km per day); what to expect; what to pack; as well as the security briefings and medical support on-site.

    It’s not a race, nor do you need to be experienced. It’s for anyone who wants to join the scouts on an epic ride through the Serengeti - pedalling for a purpose!

    The annual Wagora Bike Ride is from 27 October - 1 November 2025 (five-day event, staying at Singita Sabora Tented Camp).

    Conservation is essential for our very well-being, according to Matt. Join us for an inspiring look at the power of ecotourism with Singita and The Grumeti Fund.
