Singita is all about the animals. There are two things that make the Singita experience unique. First, is that there are no fences between this game reserve and maybe a a dozen others including the Kruger National Park. There is an electrified fence around all those combined properties whose purpose is to keep both the animals in and the poachers out. Within this area hunting has been outlawed for more than 40 years. For this reason the animal population, although always on a daily migration, has become abundant. Second, the fact that rangers and trackers have been riding around in green Land Rover's for the past 40 years has created a situation where the animals are now habituated to their presence. This allows for people in the Land Rovers to follow within only a few feet of wild animals for long durations without them being spooked. On many occasions we got closer to lions than you could have gotten to a strange house cat without any difficulty. There is no commentary for the next few pages has the pictures say it all.
