The Detail
Situated in the heart of the Matobo Hills, just outside the boundary of the national park, lies Khayelitshe House. Enclosed by the iconic balancing rocks and surrounded by a natural amphitheater of massive boulders, Khayelitshe House gets its name from the Ndebele words ‘Ekhaya’ and ‘Litshe,’ meaning "Home in the Rocks." This is a home that is completely off the grid, inspiring peacefulness and a connection with nature.
The environmentally friendly design blends perfectly with the ancient and majestic landscape that surrounds the property. Fully serviced and consisting of four en-suite luxury bedrooms with incredible views from every window, the house provides a sense of remoteness that is hard to capture. The private land around Khayelitshe House spans over 1,200 acres of breathtaking wilderness, making it a beautiful escape from the grind of daily life.
Khayelitshe House offers the opportunity to explore the area and all it has to offer, including guided walks and game drives. You will be accompanied by a knowledgeable private guide who shares their love and expertise of the bush with you. Matobo Hills is home to one of the last populations of wild white rhinos in the world. With your experienced private guide, you’ll have the chance to get close to these magnificent animals, creating some incredible photographic opportunities.
