This is âtomorrowâ in Sabi Sabi’s theme of “yesterday, today and tomorrow” which characterises their camps. Â When I visited many years ago, I wasnât 100% sure about it. BUT they have made some great changes which have made it much more accessible.
Naturally it still has the very avant-garde feel about it. It’s a futuristic lodge. Itâs very sleek and minimalistic with an ever so slightly retro 60âs vibe. Very stylish as long as you know that this is what you are coming to!
It doesnât feel bunker-like, in my opinion, as they mixed in natural earth so it feels like itâs been made from natural materials. Â But it does have a sunken nestled in the bush ambience. All around are amazing giant wooden sculptures carved from river debris – very cool and interesting.
You dine in four different places: in the private wine cellar, the boma, garden, and a secluded honeymoon spot slightly away.
The suites have been recently redone in a lighter style. They added a white floating ceiling which has brighten the rooms. They also added a wooden ceiling to the covered deck. We really liked the rooms now! Each room has its own private pool.
The only thing that I didnât 100% like was the ââsubwayââ entrance to the lodge. However I donât think the architects have ever lived/used the North London subway crossings of my childhood, so I doubt many would that association!
