‘Kipwe’, meaning blessed in Swahili, is nestled in the boulders, facing out onto superb scenery. Incorporating boulders, small red basalt rocks and mopane branches, it has a natural organic feel.
The nine rooms are round in shape, with large outside decks to admire the view.
The outside, partially open bathrooms adjoining the twin bedded rooms have boulder, cement and rock walls, and roofs of rough mopane branches. Hot water is supplied by wood-burning ‘donkey’ boilers. The luxury suite provides even more elegance, space and style for discerning guests.
