Exploring Ebony with Mmangaliso Nzuza

Across countries and cultures, art forms an integral part of African identity – shaped by our natural and cultural heritage and expressed in powerful, distinctive ways. Through our 'Africa Is…' series, we’re exploring art, design, craftsmanship, and storytelling from across the continent to showcase the depth and diversity of talent found here. In this episode, Singita’s in-house writer, Michael Schapiro, speaks with South African artist Mmangaliso Nzuza ahead of his artist-in-residence programme at Singita Sabi Sand. Their conversation moves through stillness as a creative necessity, the multi-faceted importance of community, Mmangaliso’s process in the context of his debut solo exhibition, and nature as a teacher rather than a subject. Recorded in two parts – before and after Mmangaliso’s two-week stay at Ebony – the episode reflects on how his time in the Sabi Sand unfolded beyond expectation, and how those experiences transformed into a new body of work, marked with oil paint, patience, and stories drawn from the people and landscapes that shaped it. Mmangaliso was joined along the way by videographer Julian Robinet, who captured his experience in a video that will be released as part of our upcoming 'Africa Is… Mmangaliso Nzuza' series. You can stay in the loop by subscribing to our newsletter, Stories from Africa. If you enjoyed this episode, you can read more about Mmangaliso’s experience in his own words in the latest volume of the Singita Magazine, themed around Symbiosis, and follow his journey on Instagram.

Conscious Travel - A Ripple Effect That Continues After Your Visit to Rwanda

Every great story is made up of many smaller ones. Ross Couper (Singita’s Resident Content Creator) chats to Martin Tuyisenge (Singita’s Community Liaison Manager) about the ripple effect of every guest’s stay on local livelihoods and conservation at Singita Kwitonda and Kataza House. Rwanda is truly a bucket list destination, for gorillas, golden monkeys, the food, and culture. But what really captures your heart is the spirit of its people. This is where Martin’s work comes in - as the Community Liaison Manager, he leads projects across six nearby villages, benefiting nearly 5,500 people. 18 years on - from schoolteacher to park ranger – he’s found his passion. Ross and Martin discuss some of the long-lasting community projects, made possible by Singita guests. Some highlights: - Rainwater tanks for 84 households and three schools - Upgrading volleyball and basketball pitches for young people - Supporting a chicken farming cooperative – contributing 800 chicks, a coup and training - Training a dance troupe (35 people) to celebrate traditional song and dance, while creating new income - Singita Community Culinary School – empowering students through culinary training. 23 students employed at Singita - Annual donation of a fully furnished house and two cows to a local family - Reforestation efforts – transforming ex-farmland to a thriving buffer zone, seeing wildlife returning - Providing access to health insurance for 2,571 people - Since 2005, every gorilla trek in Rwanda contributes 10% to communities, as well as a new tourism levy introduced in 2025. This is a ripple that continues outwards long after a Singita guest leaves Rwanda. Tune in to explore how ecotourism has the power to change lives — far beyond one gorilla trek. Singita website

Saving a Species: Vultures - EWT's Mission to Keep Africa's Vultures Soaring

A species in a downward spiral. Not cute or cuddly, but vultures play a crucial role as nature's clean-up crew. In this episode, Dr. Gareth Tate, the Birds of Prey Program Manager for the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), chats with Ben Nichol (Conservation Impact Lead for Singita Lowveld Trust) (SLT) about vulture conservation. They discuss their role in ecosystems, the threats they face, and what's driving the alarming decline. Fast facts: • There are 23 species of vultures worldwide; 11 migrate through Africa. • Vultures can clean up an impala carcass (40kg) in just 10 minutes. • India's vulture population plummeted by 98%. • In SA, white-backed vultures have declined by 95% in 20 years. • A single poisoning event can wipe out 50-100 vultures, along with hyenas, jackals, and lions. • Several species are heading towards extinction and are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered globally. We spell out the African vulture crisis – the major impact of poisoning (and secondary poisoning); habitat loss; collisions with power lines; and illegal poaching for belief-based medicine. It's not all doom-and-gloom, as Gareth sees real hope for the future. Hear about EWT's amazing conservation efforts - "vulture safe zones"; rapid response to poisoning; tracking technology (over 400 birds across huge ranges); and a new 'Vulture Ambulance' in the Greater Kruger Park, with an almost 100% success rate with rescued birds. Every donation funds field staff, poisoning response, rehabilitation, the Raptor Emergency Fund, and tracking satellites. The SLT supports the EWT Large Raptor and Wildlife Poisoning Rapid Response programs. Singita Guides assist with rapid response to poisoning. SLT aims to offer secure habitats, contributing to the Vulture Safe Zone Alliance. www.ewt.org.za EWT Saving a Species: Vultures · Singita Lowveld Trust · Donate to the Singita Lowveld Trust · Saving a Species of Concern · Wildlife reports from Singita Sabi Sand · Vulture Day - Home · Singita website

Why We're Losing Each Other (and How We Come Back Together) | Charl Bassil

Rebuild shared experiences, brand responsibility, and "create the party". What happens when convenience quietly replaces connection? In our first episode of 2026, Sam Rockey speaks with Charl Bassil, the BBC’s first Chief Brand Officer, about what’s changed in the way we live, work, and belong. Charl argues we haven’t lost our need for connection — we’ve just been seduced by frictionless alternatives: streaming, scrolling, hyper-personalised feeds, and “social” platforms that deliver media with only a thin trace of social. Together they explore the BBC’s public-service role in a fragmented world — truth with no agenda, backing homegrown creativity, and bringing people together — and why shared cultural moments still matter for social cohesion. Charl also shares lessons from iconic global brands on balancing short-term growth with long-term brand equity, the power of aligning values with commercial reality, and why “care” and “kindness” aren’t soft words — they’re strategic. Plus: a moving story of how Charl built a Lebanese community in Cape Town from scratch, and the leadership principle at the heart of it all: don’t wait to be invited — create the party.

Style & Design - Wildly Creative. The Team Designing Game-Changing Safari Experiences

Singita has worked with Cecile & Boyd for 30 years and the same people are still in the room today. Today, we unpack this enduring partnership – what makes it successful and fun, what drives the constant inspiration for new lodges as Singita expands. Lindy Rousseau (Singita’s Strategist) chats to Geordi de Sousa Costa and Paul van den Berg (Designers and Partners at Cecile & Boyd). They discuss their partnership, the evolution of their design, and vision for future. This exceptional business relationship is built on trust, collaboration, passion, and a shared vision of conservation. There are so many parallel stories here. Singita and Cecile & Boyd just celebrated their 30th anniversaries; both are family-owned and run; small, purpose-driven businesses with common values; both passionate about aesthetics. And who was the fabulous Cecile? We start when Luke Bailes hired Boyd Ferguson and Geordi in 1993 to design a pioneering lodge – Singita Ebony. Cecile & Boyd's approach at every lodge has evolved with organic, sustainable, and African design. They’re now excited about local art, artisans, and materials. It's about simplicity, authenticity, and minimising the footprint with deep connections to nature. Singita allows them creative freedom - a powerful part of the process, whether it’s a new lodge (such as Singita Kwitonda) or a refresh. We ask where the inspiration comes from. From humble beginnings, Cecile & Boyd has grown to interior design, architectural concepts, creative direction, and two stores. From one lodge in 1993, Singita has grown into an award-winning conservation and ecotourism brand with 19 lodges in four African countries. And soon, Botswana. This lively conversation embodies a quote: Milton Glaser, the famed American graphic designer, said, “You don't have to like the people you work with. But it's funny how when you do, the magic happens.” The next era of Singita Ebony · About Cecile & Boyd · Cecile Tilley Memoir · Another pioneering design, Singita Lebombo · Ebony · About Singita's history · Lebombo · GAPP Architects & Urban Designers · HesseKleinloog · Singita website
