The rooms within Africa House are designed with unique themes inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding environment, each offering a distinct atmosphere. The Turquoise Room is inspired by the vibrant hues found in the wings of the Malachite Kingfisher, known for its vivid blue and green colors. This room creates a serene and tranquil ambiance, reminiscent of the sparkling waters where the kingfisher reigns, offering guests a calming retreat.

The Orange Room evokes the radiant glow of the African sky at sunset, a time when the bush comes alive with magic. The warm orange tones in this room reflect the breathtaking sight of the sun dipping below the horizon, marking the transition from day to night. Similarly, the Yellow Room captures the golden hour in the bushveld, when every wildlife sighting feels more vivid and real. The yellow tones of the room embody the rich warmth of the African landscape at dusk, enhancing the connection to nature.

Inspired by the local flora, the Impala Lily Pink Room draws on the delicate blush of the impala lily, a striking flower found throughout the Greater Kruger bushveld. The soft pink hues in this room create a sense of peace and contentment, allowing guests to unwind and feel at ease. The Natural Green Room, on the other hand, reflects the lush green season of the bushveld, bringing the vibrant colurs of nature indoors. This room evokes a sense of renewal and calm, inspired by the ever-changing shades of green in the surrounding landscape.

For those seeking a more dynamic and energizing space, the Bright Green Room surprises with its vivid combination of green and red hues. These bold colours capture the vibrant energy of the bushveld, providing a space that continually refreshes and inspires guests with each return. Whether you are drawn to the calming tranquility of the turquoise and pink tones or the invigorating vibrance of the green and red, each room offers a unique experience designed to immerse you in the beauty and energy of the African landscape.

The redesign of Africa House has introduced a stunning second atrium, more than doubling the villa’s size and creating an expansive, light-filled space. This beautifully planted area seamlessly blends the luxury of Africa House with the natural beauty of the surrounding bush, offering a serene and immersive experience.

Surrounding the new courtyard are the villa’s thoughtfully designed living and wellness spaces. At its heart is the long room, a versatile space with dedicated areas for play, dining, and relaxation. Nearby, guests can unwind in the spa treatment room or stay active in the fully equipped gym. The long room extends effortlessly to the open-air boma, an inviting space to begin the day with a fresh cup of coffee, unwind with a sundowner in the evening, or enjoy a slice of hot, homemade pizza from the al fresco oven at any time.
