Striking Modern Safari Villa in South Africa with Pool and Outdoor Fireplace

Positioned within a grove of shade-giving Tamboti trees upon Cheetah Plains Private Reserve, Mvula Villa offers safari enthusiasts a luxurious home base in South Africa. A far cry from the simple safari lodge, each of the villa’s four guest suites features full-length windows providing unbroken views of the surrounding Bushveld. 

The villa’s natural stone and wood accents evoke the raw majesty of the leopard, the elusive creature that calls the area home. This home sleeps up to eight guests, and in each suite you’ll find a private patio with a large daybed, dressing room, separate WC, and a full bathroom with a double rain shower and a freestanding tub set against floor-to-ceiling windows that open directly onto the Bushveld. 

The villa’s contemporary art collection includes striking paintings and stunning sculptures. One-of-a-kind lighting fixtures illuminate each gathering space, including the formal lounge, dining area, and entertainment lounge featuring state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, including a large flat-screen TV, and board games. Share a drink at the impressive marble bar or within the temperature-controlled wine gallery, the perfect gathering spot for balmy African evenings. 

At Mvula Villa, indoor spaces blend seamlessly into outdoor areas where guests can savor al fresco meals prepared by a professional in the home’s fully equipped chef’s kitchen. The outdoor dining area rests alongside the private boma, a stone enclave housing a fireplace. A stately leopard statue presides over this area, ideal for social gatherings or a low-key night of stargazing. 

The indigenous garden around the villa creates a soothing environment that enhances the feeling of peaceful escapism. If you're eager to explore the area's fascinating wildlife, guests can enjoy a private game drive with a knowledgeable game ranger and expert field guide.

Mvula Villa’s spacious deck features a lap pool and comfortable sun loungers where you can sunbathe or relax in the shade.

Mvula Villa provides a luxurious safari experience in a unique natural setting. It’s a memorable way to encounter the serene beauty of the South African landscape.
