South Africa The Outpost

South Africa The Outpost | Urbane Nomads

Overview
The Outpost lies in a vast wilderness area in the northernmost part of Kruger National Park. This region, called the Makuleke Region, is bordered to the north by the Limpopo River and Zimbabwe and to the east by Crooks Corner and Mozambique.

Italian born architect Enrico Daffonchio designed The Outpost. Using simple, clean lines and combining elements of steel, concrete and open space, the unashamedly contemporary design of The Outpost emphasises its beautiful surrounds but blends and preserves the wilderness that is its home.

Figures well as part of a luxury safari to South Africa.

Accommodation
The Outpost comprises one large main building and twelve stand-alone living spaces set against the side of a hill overlooking the Luvuvhu River, all connected by a half kilometre long walkway made of Zimbabwean teak. The contemporary design of each Space makes use of concrete and steel with retractable remote controlled screens which may be opened to offer 180-degree views of the river valley below, or closed depending on the weather. The living area of each Space comprises an outdoor terrace with daybed, indoor lounge and bedroom with king size bed under mosquito netting. The award-winning en-suite bathrooms offer full views of the surrounding bushveld, or can be screened off for privacy.

A superlative journey that would surely figure on any 'Trips of a Lifetime' list. Starting in Cape Town before departing via private plane to Antarctica, you will be spending days (and nights) in expedition-style tents on Antarctica, kite-skiing, exploring ice waves and talking to polar explorers. Combining an out-of-the-ordinary South African safari experience to the Antarctica trip, you'll find yourself witness to a rhino tagging exercise at the end of your stay- allowing you to come into close contact with these prehistoric animals.
