African Diaries: Singita Lebombo Lodge (2004)

Singita is sited on the confluence of the Nwanetsi and the Sweni rivers. It is here where cheetahs roam, unafraid of man. A small quiet place of the spirit.The Lebombo range of mountains stretches from the Kruger right down into northern Zululand. Here, lions play and groom themselves in the heat like overgrown pussycats. Giraffes graze the succulent topmost stems of the acacia trees and the antediluvian relic; the white rhinoceros trots prudently into the bush. Night drives at Singita are standard. This is when secret Africa reveals itself. The prolific Africa artist, Keith Joubert, is represented here. Steeped in Africa; his soul is African. His art is intimate. In his landscapes the sun rises inside you; the baobab tree shelters you from the heat, the hyena looks back over his shoulder only at you! Yet another gift from Africa!
