Nature is all about perpetual ‘the circle of life’ and this is echoed in the architecture of Dzombo, which incorporates the circular shapes of traditional African homesteads, right down to unusual round windows and brick walls. While honouring the past outside, inside the lodge is riot of high-end designer wallpaper, fixtures and furniture that all come together to create a stylish and stimulating environment.

Dzombo is in Black Rhino Game Reserve, a private concession within Pilanesberg National Park. There is a high level of attention to detail in each of suites, which offer welcome extras like yoga mats, hair straighteners and stretch bands. The lodge also has Wi-Fi in the main areas, wheelchair access and room service for meals.
