Modern Architectural Design
The vision was for the interiors of the villas is to seamlessly blend in with the natural surroundings, enhancing the safari experience of the guests. A calm and distilled palette with natural materials were carefully chosen to create a minimalist interior inspired by African elements.
Combinations of raw, rich timbers and fabrics with patented metals were used to create a contrast in textures; bronze and gold accents adding subtle hints of luxury in a discreet way.
Soft and elegant linens were paired with chunky weaves, including Karakul and Mohair wool rugs. For the art and objet, ARRCC collaborated with South Africas leading local and up-and-coming artists as well as established craftsmen to create a completely unique and authentic experience embodying African minimalism.
Sabi Sand Game Reserve
Renowned for Big Five game viewing, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve lies adjacent to the south-west corner of The Kruger National Park, with which it shares a 50-kilometer boundary.
There are no fences between the two reserves, allowing game to move freely between the areas and, as a result, the reserve offers some of the most exceptional wildlife in southern Africa.
