Text description provided by the architects. Formerly cattle farms, Babanango Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, boasts rich historical, cultural, and environmental significance. Recently, it underwent one of Southern Africa's most ambitious rewilding projects, welcoming back the Big 5 after nearly 150 years. Luxury Frontiers was tasked with creating a lodge celebrating this rewilding and rebirth while paying homage to its layered past. Occupying 20,000 hectares of Zulu-seeped history along the White Umfolozi River, Madwaleni River Lodge intricately stitches historical and tribal heritage into its design.
