Each suite is embedded into the thick Red Ivory Forest giving you the feeling of sleeping in the tree canopies – in complete harmony with nature. An extensive private deck and large stack-back doors and outdoor showers allow for endless stargazing or daydreaming over uninterrupted views of the valley. Sungulwane has a contemporary African design and architecture which is inspired by traditional African culture bought together by organic textures and shapes. Let Africa embrace you whether you are relaxing on a lounger by the pool, sipping on a glass of red wine while the flames dance in the fire pit or enjoying a gourmet dining experience in the Boma… beneath the Milky Way.
The experience of a lifetime – game drives at Sungulwane give you the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Africa and see wildlife in their natural surroundings. Experienced guides share their knowledge and passion with you on twice daily game drives, bringing the flora and fauna to life; not only do you see sightings of Africa’s Big Five but the other iconic species such as giraffe, zebra and hippo.
