		<description><![CDATA[Molori main lounge The family holiday is experiencing a decided upswing, with both close and extended relations looking to rekindle and deepen connections. Togetherness is key, with renewed vigour for life and appreciation of family ties very much top of mind. The need to experience nature at scale and to reconnect with the earth and each other finds the perfect match in a family safari. And Molori Safari, the jewel of Madikwe, is the perfect location. Exclusively booking all five of Molori’s private villas for one large family is paradise found, and the answer to today’s holiday needs. The luxury lodge is primed to host family groups who can communally experience a safari of a lifetime in this malaria-free Big Five reserve. Along with new-look interiors boldly refurbished over the past two years, the lodge now features an expanded art offering from the private Ichikowitz Heritage Art Collection, and new ‘art rugs’ especially commissioned and handwoven by master craftsmen. And Molori’s new spa is a heavenly sanctuary under the trees, with the original treatment room refurbished in soothing olive greens, greys and natural woods. Here&#8217;s more of what sets Molori apart. A sense of home Originally a private family retreat, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The eagerly awaited Matador Network’s ‘25 most spectacular hotels in the world: 2020’ list includes Singita Lebombo Lodge, in the Kruger National Park, in its top 5 selection. The best hotels and lodges from around the world are highlighted in the list, released late in January 2020 – yet another credit to both Singita and Cécile &#38; Boyd’s already illustrious reputations. Designed in collaboration with GAPP Architects, Lebombo reflects the spectacular landscape from which it draws its inspiration. Spectacular is certainly the way to describe this luxury destination in the heart of the Kruger, overlooking the N’wanetsi River. Guests are transported into a bushveld world of dramatic landscapes home to high concentrations of iconic wildlife. Abundant prey draws many big cats to the area, including large prides of lion. Often referred to as “Lebombo: Land of Lions” after the Lebombo mountain ridge, it is one of the best places to see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Yet the award-winning accommodation, where the contemporary décor is a standout feature, is an added attraction that distinguishes Lebombo from a plethora of safari options. The Cécile &#38; Boyd interiors are something that Matador specifically points out, stating that: “While many luxury safari [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Five of Singita’s luxury lodges have been named among the best in Africa, in Condé Nast Traveller (UK &#38; USA) Readers’ Choice Awards – proving that quality design is a distinguishing feature of high-end resorts. The luxury safari market remains competitive, despite wobbles in the global economy. Valued at USD 1184.6m in 2018, it’s a thriving market in which unflagging demand for purposeful safari experiences is driving an increase in tourist numbers. But monied travellers are increasingly looking for “experiences, privacy, and unique memories all bundled into one bespoke package”, according to Forbes magazine, which drives lodges and camps to offer much more than just spectacular sunsets. How, then, can properties gain a competitive advantage in this market, with new high-end lodges unveiled every year and visitors continually looking for the next thrilling adventure? Broadening the scope of guest activities is certainly an option (walking with wildlife and stargazing have been popular, along with particular conservation projects) – but that doesn’t guarantee an increase in the number of visitors, or indeed lead to customer retention. There is, however, evidence to suggest that quality accommodation and inspiring design, together with sustainable ecotourism (that is, making a difference), are driving tourists to [...]]]></description>
