OTHER LODGES
Selected lodges from across southern Africa, each a response to its landscape, its people and its Genius Loci. Natural and locally sourced materials, considered siting, off-grid in most cases, and always the lightest possible touch.

We are proud to have the architects for Makweti Safari Lodge, an exclusive retreat nestled in the heart of the Waterberg biosphere. The design of the lodge captures the essence of its natural surroundings, blending seamlessly with the rugged terrain and vast wildlife-rich landscapes. With an emphasis on eco-conscious luxury, our work focused on creating intimate spaces that offer guests both comfort and a deep connection to nature. Makweti stands as a testament to sustainable design and the timeless beauty of the African bush.
We were thrilled to design Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa, a luxurious sanctuary set within the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve. The design of the lodge seamlessly blends modern sophistication with the wild beauty of the African bush. Each element was carefully crafted to offer guests an unparalleled experience, combining opulent comfort with nature’s raw elegance. Our approach focused on creating spaces that provide privacy, tranquility, and stunning views, making Mhondoro a truly unforgettable destination for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
