Ubuntu Luxury Villa

A surprise waiting on our trail camera 🐆✨

While our guests were out exploring, a very special visitor quietly arrived at Ubuntu Luxury Villa…

Around 11:00 in the morning, this beautiful young male leopard came to our waterhole for a refreshing drink. After quenching his thirst, he continued his journey and walked straight in front of our trail camera — giving us this incredible close-up moment.

Moments like these are why we love living in the African bush. You never know what might appear, even in the middle of a sunny morning.

A true Ubuntu moment♥️

OUR STORY • PART 2
Before Ubuntu became a holiday home... it was our home. ❤️

Construction of Ubuntu Luxury Villa started in October 2018. After months of planning, designing and watching our dream become reality, we welcomed our very first guests at the end of 2019.

But before travellers from around the world discovered Ubuntu, this was where we lived whenever we were in Hoedspruit.

Our mornings began with a shower outside, breakfast and a cup of tea on the patio, listening to birdsong as wildlife wandered past. Sunny afternoons were spent by the pool, and evenings ended on the viewing deck with a sundowner or around the boma under a sky full of stars.

Some of our most treasured memories were made here. From our very first sundowner on the viewing deck and our first braai, to a family trip we’ll never forget, when both our parents, Dennis’ brother and sister-in-law, and our niece experienced Ubuntu for the very first time.

Looking back at these photos always brings a smile to our faces. While the styling has evolved over the years and we’ve added new touches throughout the villa, one thing has never changed...

Ubuntu has always been a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and feel completely at home.
We’re incredibly grateful that today we can share that feeling with guests from all over the world.

There are safari moments you never forget… and this was definitely one of them. 🐘✨

Our recent guests experienced an incredible encounter during their game drive in , as a massive breeding herd of elephants slowly made their way towards the vehicle. Watching these gentle giants, with so many playful calves safely surrounded by the herd, was a truly magical sight.

A huge thank you to our guests and for sharing this unforgettable footage with us.

This unforgettable safari was with .charley, who was guiding for .reinhardt , who conveniently picked our guests up from Ubuntu Luxury Villa and dropped them off again after an amazing morning in the bush.

Would you stay calm if an entire elephant herd walked towards you? 🐘💚

A little trip down memory lane... ♥️🇿🇦

Over the next few weeks, we’d love to take you behind the scenes and share the story of how Ubuntu Luxury Villa came to life.

Today, we’re going back to where it all began.

In August 2018, we started with a dream: to create a place where people could slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the magic of the African bush in complete comfort and privacy.

Building Ubuntu Luxury Villa was an incredible journey, filled with excitement, challenges, countless decisions, and unforgettable moments. After months of planning and construction, we proudly welcomed our very first guests in October 2019.

What many people don’t know is that Ubuntu Luxury Villa wasn’t just a project for us—it also became our home whenever we were in Hoedspruit. We spent countless mornings on the patio with a cup of tea, afternoons by the pool, and evenings listening to the sounds of the bush while watching wildlife wander past.

While the styling has evolved over the years, the feeling has never changed. Ubuntu Luxury Villa is still the peaceful sanctuary we dreamed of creating all those years ago.

We hope you’ll enjoy looking back with us as we share a few special memories and milestones from our journey.

Were you following us back then, or have you only recently discovered Ubuntu Luxury Villa? We’d love to know!

A special visitor stopped by our waterhole last night… 🖤

Hyenas may not always get the spotlight, but watching one quietly wander through the darkness is a truly unforgettable safari moment.

Grateful for every guest who chooses Ubuntu Luxury Villa and takes the time to share their experience🙏🏼

Over the past few months, we have been humbled by some truly wonderful 5-star reviews from guests who have travelled from around the world to experience the magic of Hoedspruit and the African bush.

From relaxing by the pool, enjoying private chef dinners and in-villa massages, to watching kudu and other wildlife visit the waterhole, it is incredibly rewarding to know that the little details make a lasting impression.

What means the most to us is hearing that guests feel at home. That they appreciate the care, comfort, privacy and personal hospitality that have been at the heart of Ubuntu Luxury Villa since we first opened our doors.

To all our guests who have stayed with us, trusted us with their special occasions, family holidays and safari adventures: thank you. Your kind words inspire us every day♥️.

We look forward to welcoming many familiar and new faces to Ubuntu Luxury Villa in the future.
