Villa Chibuene (aka Private Villa)
The new Private Villa at Benguerra Lodge has been completed and the first delighted guests stayed there in the second week of August. Villa Chibuene is built on the far western side of the main lodge and replaces our existing private Villa. All private Villa bookings are now accommodated in the new Villa.

The beautiful Villa Chibuene is spacious and blends naturally into the surrounding forest. It consists of a central main area with open plan kitchen, dining room and comfortable private lounge. Through wide sliding doors, guests walk out onto the wooden deck, where hours can be whiled away relaxing next to the swimming pool, or sipping refreshing cold drinks under the thatched sala while admiring the sea view.

The main area is flanked by two spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with its own mosaic outside shower. Similar to the Casita’s the rooms have large shutter doors which leads to a private section of the deck.

Welcome Christine:
We are pleased to welcome Christine Barnewall, who joined us as Catering manager in August. Christine, herself a qualified chef, comes with a wealth of experience and her impressive resume includes working as a chef at lodges such as Singita and Tswalu Kalahari Reserve.

Christine firmly believes that all the senses should be engaged to fully enjoy your meal. As a result she likes to experiment with colours, textures and different taste combinations. Food is as much a visual journey as it is a taste experience. She is working closely with our local chefs to expand their culinary horizons.
