| A distinguished member of design hotelsTM. Set on a hilltop in the untouched wilderness of the Kruger National Park, overlooking magnificent floodplains and 120 kilometers from the nearest town, The Outpost offers 180 degree backdrops of the Luvhuvu river from its suites, and vistas to the Mozambique and Zimbabwe borders from the bath. Accommodating a maximum of 24 guests in stand alone quarters, the hotel is an oasis of reserved, eco luxury; currently the first lodge to be built in the Makulele region, an area of over 59,000 acres. Constructed from steel, canvas, glass and aluminium, the surprisingly contemporary buildings are open and unaffected; the work of Italian born architect, Enrico Daffonichio. Taking a lead in South Africa s ecotourism revolution, The Outpost is committed to employing and training local Makulele people, creating not just another tourist destination, but the backbone to a whole community.
