OVERVIEW

Whether you fly in via Hoedspruit or land at Jackalberry Airstrip, the result is the same: welcome drinks and big smiles await you in the courtyard of Africa House, your exclusive-use bush villa. Each of the six en suite bedrooms is filled with beds from Mombasa, Persian carpets and unusual art from across the world. Colour and pattern are everywhere, from the dining room with a table for a dozen diners to the cosy living room. Outside, the infinity pool not only provides respite from the afternoon heat but the chance to watch birds and monkeys in the tree canopy.

With your own guide, tracker and vehicle, the days are open to exploring as much or as little as you like.
