Pieter van der Zanden had always dreamt of owning a game farm, and when he drove across the farm that was going to become Zandibela he knew instantly that he had found the place he had imagined. He and his wife, Herna, both felt that they should buy the property, they then worked hard as a team over the next few years to create the lodge.
“When we walked across the hills Pieter knew exactly where he wanted to build the lodge,” says Herna, “he could visualize everything” Pieter who is Dutch, had a grandfather who had established many hotels including the famous Hotel Breda in Holland, so perhaps there is a hotelier gene in his family”
Pieter’s vision wasn’t just to run a luxury lodge; rather it was to create a place where guest could connect with nature and recharge. He wanted a place where they would experience tranquility, observe abundant bird life, walk outdoors, see the animals and plants, experience the silence of the bush, witness great sunsets and, at night, sit around a fire in the boma, talk and star gaze. “What is also very important”, says Pieter “is that Zandibela is on the road to the Baviaanskloof, which is a World Heritage site.”
The couple are delighted that there is San art on the property. “It is a privilege to have the art here”, says Herna. “We are pleased that our guests have the opportunity to learn something about the San and the art they produced.”
