Dawid Kruiper, South Africa
!Xaus Lodge
Set on a red dune inside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park,! Xaus Lodge occupies among the more remote positions of any permanent lodge in southern Africa. Community-owned and built to sit lightly on its surroundings, it represents a distinct tier of wilderness accommodation where the physical context, not the amenity count, is the primary currency. Advance planning and self-sufficiency are part of the terms.
