I dream, like many, of returning to Sabi Sand Singita Ebony Lodge, situated on 18,000 hectares bordered by the Sabi and Sand rivers in northeastern South Africa. I remember from last time that it’s 12 thatched villas are an Olympian feat of vertical support poles growing out of precipitously steep undergrowth, ingeniously evolving, as if organically, around massive living trees. On to these vertical supports are joined a series of horizontal boardwalk platforms with lots of connecting stairs and shade or ceiling is supplied by some upper wood blocks and overall an open-sided and open-ended thatched cathedral ceiling. I look out at the view and say “wow” for the first of countless times.
