Cliffside Bliss - 3 Reasons to Book Your Trip to Few & Far Luvhondo Before It’s Too Late.

The press coverage of Few & Far Luvhondo has made me incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished this year. TIME Magazine called us one of the "World's Greatest Places of 2025." Bloomberg wrote about our solar-powered cable car safari, Solyrus. Condé Nast Traveler featured us as one of the most exciting hotel openings of 2025. Robb Report, National Geographic, The New York Times - it's been incredible to see Few & Far Luvhondo get this kind of recognition.

‍
What these articles don't capture however, is with only six suites perched on cliffs in South Africa's Soutpansberg Mountains, 2026 will fill up fast. So when people ask me why they should book their trip now, here's what I share with them.

‍
Reason 1. Exclusive, Private Wilderness - Only Six Suites

‍
Few & Far Luvhondo isn’t a lodge you share with dozens of other guests and an endless number of safari vehicles. Here, you may not see another guest —or vehicle—ever. The quiet of the Soutpansberg Mountains surrounds you, unbroken except by the calls of wildlife or the rustle of the wind in the trees.

‍
This level of privacy is rare. This level of peace and quiet is extraordinary. Each suite offers a private plunge pool, panoramic views of the valley floor and luxurious interiors designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape. With so few suites available, the opportunity to experience this sanctuary is inherently scarce.

‍
At Few & Far Luvhondo, each suite comes with your own private guide. Not just for convenience, but because the best journeys unfold in rhythm with individual curiosity, not timetables. You can forget game drive schedules and group departures. Our guides aren't following predetermined routes or checking species off lists. They're storytellers, tracker-scientists, and cultural ambassadors who've worked at South Africa's most prestigious lodges and chose to join us because they wanted the freedom to create truly personalized experiences.

‍
What does this mean practically? If you're captivated by the Samango monkeys - one of fewer than 30 remaining populations in Africa - your guide might spend an entire morning helping you understand their complex social structures. If ancient baobab forests call to you, you'll walk among trees that were already centuries old when European explorers first reached these mountains.
"I wouldn't call this a lodge or hotel but rather an experience," shared a guest recently. "A beautifully tailored bush experience. Every aspect has been carefully thought through and perfectly executed."
This personalization extends beyond wildlife encounters. Your guide becomes your connection to local culture, introducing you to the conservationists whose research protects this landscape, and the communities whose partnership makes our work possible. These aren't staged cultural experiences - they're authentic introductions between people who share a commitment to protecting this place.
The mathematics are simple: six suites, dedicated guides, 365 days of potential exploration. When 2026 calendars fill, these intimate partnerships become hard to come by.

“It was as if the mountains were ours alone. We saw giraffes, zebra, kudu and baboons—all without another guest in sight.” – shared a recent guest

Reason 2. Be Among the First in the World to Experience Solyrus

‍
One of the things I love about being on safari is obviously being able to see an extraordinary amount of wildlife, but you usually need to sit in a car for six to eight hours a day. Safari at Few & Far Luvhondo is not that.

‍
Our Solyrus cable car system launches in 2026, and honestly, it's unlike anything else in African travel. Picture this: you're gliding silently through ancient baobab forests high above the canopy, watching wildlife move through valleys below while powered entirely by South African sunshine. Your guide controls the movement, stopping whenever something catches your eye.
The cable car emerged from a practical need - how do we explore our vast landscape without disturbing the very ecosystems we're working to protect? The answer came through innovation that puts conservation first.

‍
What became important to us - our own preferences, our own desires, our own ethos - became the hallmark of what Few & Far stands for. We very much were our own consumers, and that drove everything. We wanted to explore without creating a damaging impact.

‍
"Daily surprise sundowners where every single evening brings new magical sunset experiences," one recent guest shared. "The staff's creativity in finding unique spots and crafting these moments was absolutely phenomenal." The cable car doesn't replace these intimate moments - it creates entirely new ones.

‍
2026 guests will be among the first to experience this aerial revelation.

Reason 3. Join Our Mission To Regenerate Our Planet and Lock in 2025 prices.

‍
Today we're not just thinking about building a sustainable business, we're actively creating a regenerative travel business. This goes beyond sustainability, which focuses on reducing emissions and resource consumption. Instead, we're investing in initiatives that actively restore and improve the future. Our reserve operates with conservation as the primary focus, and we're working toward an ambitious rehabilitation project that could sequester significant carbon through active restoration. Our guests get to be part of that story and participate and join in this work firsthand.

‍
You might help our conservation team install camera traps, assist with indigenous plant propagation, or join field research that contributes to peer-reviewed scientific publications. This is meaningful engagement with South Africa's most pressing conservation challenges.

‍
The Western Soutpansberg Mountains represent one of the continent's most biodiverse regions, home to species found nowhere else on earth. They're also under constant pressure from mining interests, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. When you stay with us, your presence here doesn't just support conservation and carbon sequestration - it actively participates in ecosystem regeneration at a scale that matters globally.

‍
By 2026, our rehabilitation work will be visibly transforming degraded areas into thriving ecosystems. Guests booking now will witness this regeneration in real-time, becoming part of a conservation story that will extend far beyond their visit

‍
By booking your 2026 stay now, you will also lock in 2025 rates ensuring both your place and the best value for a stay that combines luxury, privacy, and adventure.

"Simply wow. I recently returned from the most incredible stay at Few & Far Luvhondo, and I'm still pinching myself! This property completely redefined what a safari experience can be." A recent guest. 

If you've been waiting for the right moment to experience a safari and cliffside bliss in Africa's forgotten mountains, 2026 represents your opportunity to be part of this story. To wake each morning on ancient cliffs, to explore through our solar-powered cable car safari, to contribute meaningfully to ecosystem regeneration, to experience the vastness of an incredible wilderness area all to yourself, then this is your moment. 

‍

When you encounter something extraordinary, the moment to act is now. I invite you to be among the visionaries who will join us in 2026 to make it a reality.

‍

I look forward to seeing you there,
