nature isn’t a backdrop,

it’s the centre

collected in the wild live alongside art by a collective of South African creatives. Art celebrating nature, nature as art. To reflect this deepening expression of nature through design, the surroundings have been invited even further in. Lebombo’s formerly grey palette has become shades of brown and cream. You can see the soft hide of a waterbuck in the latte and linen textures. The warm tan and delicate stripes of the resident nyala who browse just below the deck of the Long Bar in the veining of the marble at its centre. The combretum pods and euphorbia lend their shape to carved vessels and patterns on textiles. Outside in.

The architecture has been fine-tuned to enhance the experience of being here – and while largely unseen, these changes offer comfort to the senses, and an even softer immersion into your surroundings. The stillness and calm of altitude punctuate the air. Every aspect of Lebombo’s design is made to help you unravel, to slow, to yield. Back out in the wild, your guides will encourage you to look, touch, smell, and even taste what’s around you. Engage. Wild herbs, wildlife tracks, bird calls, fireflies. There is no end to the ways this place embraces you as part of it – if you allow yourself to give in fully.

Right Reflective of purpose, the spaces here speak to the wilderness beyond.
