Kubili House is all about precious downtime in the wild. Revelling in the quiet luxury of space and time, many degrees of separation from the hustle. Here, the only traffic, your only neighbours, are the animals – predator and prey alike – coming to drink at the dam, the biggest waterhole in Thornybush Game Reserve, right in front of your deck. And being Thornybush, primo territory within the Greater Kruger National Park, lion and leopard are among those free-spirited visitors. The home’s mindful, sophisticated design is at once North and Southern African. With slightly more than a finger-tinkle of NYC Zen to bring it together. Morocco meets the Zimbabwe Ruin, via Donna Karan. Star gazing never looked so good. The owners’ passion for and commitment to Africa is palpable. From their financial support of the staff, who they believe will become their most valuable network for anti-poaching, to unexpected, exceptional, thoughtful fine-dining, and knockout game-viewing experiences. In all, life-changing sustainability in action. You will go home changed too.
Stuff we love
Greater than Kruger
- Their ‘Big 5’ luxury camping experience will get you comfortably up close to why you’re here in the first place.
- Bring the fam. The children’s activities are legion – creative, educational, and most importantly, fun.
- With five bedrooms, three swimming pools, a steam room, spa treatments, childminding, and private chefs, you will want for literally nothing.
