SINGITA LEBOMBO LODGE

The Kruger trail stops against these mountains that form the natural border of Mozambique. Two lodges have been lightly integrated into nature by the architect Luc Bailes. All the materials used exude a natural softness. Sweni Lodge, the smaller one, is built all the way along the river, in the shade of the bushy trees. Lebombo Lodge, the flagship, sits on a rocky outcrop. A stone's throw away, the pool soars to the sky, lined with mattresses to curl up on. Below, the rooms: majestic glass and wood cabins.
