Slated to open in early 2025, Few & Far Luvhondo is an all-new luxurious eco-lodge in Limpopo, South Africa. Set within the dramatic Soutpansberg Mountains, part of UNESCO’s Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, this boutique sanctuary is designed with a biophilic ethos, melding modernity with the surrounding African wilderness. Guests here can indulge in world-class safari dining, embark on immersive wildlife experiences, and rejuvenate with holistic healing treatments that draw from the natural environment.
Few & Far, the innovative new global safari brand founded by Sarah and Jacob Dusek, is set to elevate eco-conscious travel with its first branded eco-lodge, Few & Far Luvhondo, scheduled to open in early 2025. Following its success with the $100-million glamping empire Under Canvas, the Duseks bring their vision for sustainable luxury to the African wilderness, offering a boutique retreat that harmonizes adventure, relaxation, and conservation.
Located in the serene Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo, South Africa, Few & Far Luvhondo lies within the UNESCO-designated Vhembe Biosphere Reserve—one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet. This intimate property, featuring just six suites, is enveloped by some of the largest Baobab trees in the country, beckoning guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding wilderness.
Few & Far Luvhondo is a model for regenerative tourism. As a Verra Registered Carbon Project, the lodge is actively restoring the surrounding landscape, with efforts projected to sequester over 100,000 tons of carbon annually. By rewilding the mountains and planting native flora, Few & Far creates a thriving habitat that benefits wildlife and the planet, ensuring that guests leave a positive impact simply by visiting.
Unlike traditional safaris, Few & Far Luvhondo offers a Solfari, a solar-powered aerial cable car that glides silently above the wilderness. Inspired by the intricate design of weaver bird nests, this groundbreaking feature spans 40 kilometers, offering panoramic views of the mountains and undisturbed wildlife below.
For those seeking adventures closer to the ground, the lodge offers guided bush walks, exhilarating game drives, mountain biking, and even the chance to sleep under the stars on overnight excursions. Guests can also immerse themselves in the region’s culture and ecology through programs like Conservationist for a Day, where activities range from tracking leopards to aiding rewilding efforts with Few & Far’s conservation teams.
The dining experience at Few & Far Luvhondo is as extraordinary as its setting. With most produce grown onsite, the lodge’s farm-to-table program ensures every meal is fresh, seasonal, and deeply connected to the local environment. Guests can enjoy multi-course bush dinners paired with South African wines, traditional Boma Braai (barbecue) evenings around an open fire, and even foraging excursions that highlight the bounty of the region.
Complementing its adventurous offerings, Few & Far Luvhondo provides a plethora of wellness experiences to rejuvenate the body and mind. These include therapeutic spa treatments (massages, facials, and other holistic services) using locally sourced ingredients and meditative labyrinth walks.
