Singita Explore Mobile Tented Camp

A Cycling Safari Is the Best Way to See Wildlife in Africa

"A luxurious tented camp favored by high-profile guests that doubles as a launch point for conservation-focused cycling safaris; guests are welcomed with drinks and cool towels, and pre-ride rituals include coffee brewed over an open fire and a carb-heavy spread before dawn departures. On-site support is robust—a bicycle mechanic readies tires by headlamp, guides and armed anti-poaching scouts escort mixed-ability groups, and daily routines blend endurance (roughly 20-mile mornings on dirt roads and single-track) with pampering: rest-stop refreshments of PB&Js and soda, post-ride ice baths, brunch, naps and massages, afternoon tea, a late game drive and multicourse dinners. The operation emphasizes conservation, partnering with a local fund and an anti-poaching unit, and packages high-end hospitality with immersive, purpose-driven wildlife experiences." - Katie Jackson Katie Jackson Katie Jackson is a New York City-based writer who covers travel, food, and more.
