Early next year, Few & Far will debut its first eco-lodge, Few & Far Luvhondo, an intimate, biophilic escape on the cliffs of South Africa’s Soutpansberg Mountains.
With just six cliffside suites surrounded by some of Southern Africa’s oldest and largest baobab trees, the boutique lodge, which features architecture from Plewman Architects and interiors by Ohkre Collective, is a gateway to the biologically rich UNESCO Vhembe Biosphere Reserve.
Guests are immersed in an environment, rooted in the site and natural surroundings, that blends luxury with adventure and sustainability.
Few & Far Luvhondo offers a safari experience with Solfari, a solar-powered aerial cable car inspired by weaver bird nests. The system glides quietly above the treetops, offering panoramic views of the rugged mountain landscape and wildlife, with minimal disruption to the natural surroundings.
As a Verra Registered Carbon Project, the lodge contributes to large-scale rewilding efforts that will sequester over 100,000 tons of carbon annually by restoring the mountain’s natural habitat. Through the “conservationist for a day” program, guests can directly participate in these efforts—from clearing invasive plant species to monitoring the leopards that inhabit the region.
Luvhondo also includes a wellness sanctuary complete with a meditative labyrinth walk and a range of spa treatments.
