an acclaimed small lodge designer.
The

plains and Inselbergs. The central lodge sits on the slopes of a hill across
a ravine, separating it from the chalets.

Lodge is situated on the Tweedepoort Ridge overlooking the plains and inselbergs
of the western section of Madikwe Game Reserve.
The
lodge has eight suites, each with their own viewing deck, decorated in
natural hews of colour and texture, offering a very private and luxurious
experience.
