Design & Eco Footprint

Luxury Frontiers, award-winning eco-design specialist, has ensured that the Lodge’s design and construction seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, making use of natural, locally sourced building materials and environmentally responsible construction methods. The tents are spacious and luxurious, with modern amenities, combined with stylish contemporary design.

Eco profile

The 1850 sqm of bamboo composite decking used has recycled 462 500 HDPE milk bottles and saved an equivalent of 185 000 Square metres of tree forests from being cut down.
The other dominant component in the flooring product is derived from recycled PVC plastics, contributing to recycling 4.9 tonnes of PVC plastics on the internal floors.
The Lodge is attempting to be completely off-grid, and 100% solar powered.
The lodge is designed to be completely off the grid.

Mdluli Community Impact

The lodge is being developed on 850 hectares of pristine land situated seamlessly in the south-western region of the Kruger National Park on land reclaimed and now owned by the Mdluli Community Trust.

Mdluli Safari Lodge, a partnership with the Mdluli community, is a breakthrough structure in the funding of tourism development in South Africa, and a benchmark for future community development projects. Your visit will have a far-reaching impact, contributing to up-skilling and uplifting the Mdluli community. The lodge will generate direct financial benefits as well as significant socio-economic impact.

The lodge’s development is anchored in the belief that we have a responsibility to uplift and up-skill the members of the community, as well as to upgrade basic infrastructure, sanitation and schools.

“I am really excited about this project, which was started 20 years ago by our father, Inkhosi MZ Mdluli. Through this project, I undertake to bring stability and social cohesion to the Community, and I also remain convinced that the children of the community shall go to universities. Schools, roads and clinics shall be upgraded, and poverty shall be eradicated through the creation of skills and employment opportunities.”

-Inkhosi MI Mdluli
