The hotel
Morukuru Owner’s House combines contemporary styling with handpicked African artworks and décor. The setting is completely wild - on the banks of the Marico river and surrounded by African wildlife -but the house offers every luxury, including a team of 8 staff at your service, home office facilities, a superb wine cellar, high speed wifi, stereo, dvds, cds, a small library and even the opportunity to indulge in a Victorian tub bath on a deck outside under the stars.
The rooms
Wood, stone and glass provide a seamless flow between in- and outdoors. The two huge bedrooms are stylishly decorated in natural shades, accented with bright African colours. Doors open wide onto a wrap-around deck surrounded by trees, and the combination of dappled shade and the sound of nature is deeply restorative. You can also choose to spend a night in your private elevated hide next to the water’s edge – an unforgettable way to experience life in the wild.

Experiences
Experience productive wildlife interactions in your own private vehicle with a safari guide and wildlife tracker. You may encounter rare African wild dogs as well as the big 5. Guided nature walks and fishing are a wonderful way to get close to nature. Try your hand at African drumming, enjoy a spa treatment or relax around the heated pool. A magical experience is being left alone in your private hide in a vast plain at the water’s edge.
