HOME
The Retreat is a luxury safari destination
situated in rhino land, the most remote corner of the Selous Game
Reserve, far away from other camps and lodges, assuring total privacy
and an undisturbed individual experience of the African bush.
It is the place to reawaken the senses and the
soul, chilling out in a luxury of services, design, natural materials
and overwhelming views and sounds while exploring the remote bush and
studying the undisturbed behaviors of the animals surrounding the
lodge.
The lodge was built with care and respect
towards nature and this special place on top of a small hill, on the
shores of the mighty Ruaha River in full awareness of the privilege to
build a lodge in nature untouched for centuries. Wherever possible,
with supporting
technologies, alternative energy, like solar power, has been chosen.
The building and decorating materials use the
principles of the 5 elements. Old techniques from different African
and Asian nomads have been applied in combination with Feng Shui
architecture to create the special atmosphere that is, The Retreat.
