ARRCC has recently completed the new Cheetah Plains game lodge, located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The designers have re-designed the traditional game lodge, and given it a modern update, that interacts with the outdoors.

The lodge is split up into multiple ‘houses’, providing guests with their own space to relax, rather than communal spaces with individual bedroom suites.

Natural materials, like wood, have been used to add an earthy touch, and complement the trees outside.

Glass walls that open create a true feeling of being outdoors, while cantilevered roof structures provide shade on the sunny days.
