Description
Vuyatela! - 'Come and visit again' in Shangaan, a farewell to guests who have enjoyed our hospitality and who wish to return as friends.
Everything about this lodge says come on down, sip a cocktail from your private pool while watching animals meander in front of your deck.
Marvel at the detail of the contemporary African artwork in the main lodge, and frequent the gym/relaxation room and the library. You're able to send an email home and check on your favourite website from the privacy of your deck and lounge, or utilize the main terminal in the library for the top animal/conservation websites.
Each of the chalets at Vuyatela is a collection of buildings joined to each other. The private lounge is separated from the bedroom by a beautiful Teak deck, which ends at the private plunge pool. The view from the Teak deck is into pristine African Savanna with its bounty of animal life, which is likely to grace your view. You will notice that each of the buildings that make-up your chalet, or 'Kaya' (Shangaan word for house), is built in a different technique. Wood frames with packed stones, mud walls painted with buffalo dung and structural elements such as support poles for the roof on the outside of the hut. Notice the gables on some of roofs, this has a three hundred year history in South Africa with the arrival of the Cape Dutch style of gables found on the farmsteads in the southwestern Cape which, has been re-interpreted by modern Shangaan people. Some of the 'Kaya’s' have abstract patterns painted on the walls and others have even domestic scenes painted on.
