Contemporary architecture makes use of concrete and steel with state-of the-art retractable, remote-controlled screens offering 180º of uninterrupted views. Some of the most strikingly attractive rooms of any game lodge – we love the “rooms with a view” courtesy of their unique open fronts where the absence of walls allows breathtaking panoramic views! The setting of The Outpost has taken full advantage of the area’s scenic splendour with the lodge’s 12 luxurious suites being perched on a hillside where they enjoy magnificent views of the Luvuvhu River below. The design of The Outpost makes it one of the most strikingly attractive and unusual game lodges in the country - simple, clean lines are combined with elements of steel and concrete to create a minimalist chic, whilst the design does away with front walls (there are just retractable screens) which completely opens up the front of the suites so that they enjoy stunning 180 degree views of the valley. You can simply relax on your bed (or even in your free-standing bath!) and soak up the vistas for hours in comfort. The immaculate teak deck extends into a comfortable lounge and an award-winning bathroom which can be screened off for privacy, with a stone bath and open shower boasting views extending as far as Mozambique! There’s also a private outdoor terrace with daybed (where you can request a private massage) Enjoy your evening meals under the stars alongside a crackling campfire. Unwind with a luxurious spa treatment in the privacy of your room. Game drives leave at first morning light and late afternoon. For the adventurous, you can experience the wilderness on a guided walking safari.
