Morukuru Family says that both properties, along with Morukuru Farm House, will continue to offer the signature Morukuru Freedom Concept
Morukuru Family, a collection of three exclusive-use private safari villas, has announced the reopening of two of its exclusive-use safari houses, Morukuru Owner’s House and Morukuru River House, in Madikwe Game Reserve, in South Africa planned for September 1.
In a press statement, Morukuru Family says that both properties, along with Morukuru Farm House, will continue to offer the signature Morukuru Freedom Concept, namely exclusive-use stays with no fixed schedules, private staff teams, and tailor-made safari experiences for families and friends of all generations.
“In line with our commitment to timeless design, comfort, and a deep sense of place, Morukuru Family has partnered with acclaimed interior designer Amy Kidger of Hinterland Studio to lead the refurbishment. Amy brings a wealth of experience in high-end lodge design, with a signature style that merges refined elegance with natural textures and a contemporary African aesthetic,” says Anka Zeeman, co-owner, Morukuru Family.
In February of this year, unexpected flooding from three months of extreme rainfall caused the overflow of the Molatedi Dam. This in turn caused the Marico River to rise by as much as 10 m in only 12 hours, impacting the interiors of Morukuru Owner’s House and Morukuru River House. Fortunately, Morukuru Farm House was not affected by the flooding and has remained open, adds the statement.
“While the flood was a moment of sadness for our team, it also reminded us of the resilience of nature and ourselves. The reopening of Morukuru Owner’s House and Morukuru River House is a celebration of renewal. We cannot wait to welcome our guests back to experience these soulful homes in a fresh new light,” says Ed Zeeman, Co-owner.
