Property details

The property

The main area comprises a spacious lounge with two comfortable seating areas, indoor and outdoor dining tables and an adjacent open-plan kitchen with a bar counter. Fold-away wooden shutters blend the inside with the outside environment. The wooden floors extend seamlessly onto the deck, where a plunge pool beckons. There is Wi-Fi throughout the house and, in addition, all the facilities at the nearby Jabali Ridge Lodge are available to Jabali House guests.

The rooms

The house can accommodate six guests in three separate bedrooms. There are two huge master suites, with king-sized beds and en-suite bathrooms boasting indoor and outdoor showers. As with the lounge, wooden shutters can open completely, creating the impression of no boundary between you and the bush. The third bedroom has twin beds and is substantially smaller, though it still has an en-suite bathroom. Warm, earthy tones and a generous use of wood blend well into the natural environment.

Activities

Your private guide will lead you on fascinating bush walks and exciting day and night game drives through this stunning region of the park. The combination of impressive trees (especially the baobabs), open grass plains, dense woodland and sandy river beds provides a dynamic environment and an abundance of game, matched by a huge diversity of species. And the best part: you get to explore at your own pace with a guide dedicated to maximising your every sight and sound.

What you'll love

Private houses across Africa are usually traditional, farm-house affairs – not this one! It’s contemporary, modern, spacious and looks like it’s fallen straight from the pages of Vogue.

Your private chef will whip up more food than you can shake a stick at but there’s also a mini fridge in the kitchen area, perfectly stocked with snacks, treats and cold drinks for whenever you fancy. We love!
Something to think about

Something to think about

Jabali Private House is all about high-design (and it’s really quite spectacular) but some of the mod-cons and clean lines might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
