The organic furnishings of Lahia Tented Lodge are purposefully and soulfully designed to blend in inconspicuously with the surrounding environment. In these efforts to fuse with nature, luxury is not compromised but rather enhanced. A blend of natural stone and gnarled timber turn common living areas into a delightful extension of the natural world. Thatched canopies offer sunshade over open-air ambience. Splashes of vivid color, eccentric décor, and warm smiles from the staff ensure that nothing about this Lodge is pretentious, but rather aimed for comfort and delight.
In spite of the delightful common areas, your private sleeping quarters might well be the highlight of your stay at Lahia. There are a total of 25 tented chalets, The chalets are under thatched roofs with beautiful hardwood floors and each has a private shaded veranda with safari deck chairs from where you can admire the views. The 25 tented chalets are spaced far apart along each side of the hill assuring complete privacy and tranquility. Inside each spacious chalet there is a bedroom with a separate sitting area with a love seat, couch and writing desk. Beds are draped in luxurious mozzie-nets and especially plush bedding to ensure sound safari dreaming.
Turndown service is conducted in the evenings and a coffee/tea and cookie tray is delivered to your chalet each morning at your prearranged wakeup call time. The main house offers a unique 360 º panoramic view of the sprawling landscape. The main building contains lounges, a dining room, and a swimming pool. There is even a gym. It has been decorated in a modern African style creating a fresh and bright atmosphere, cozy, but with a touch of luxury. Sunlight streams through the panoramic windows of the dining room and lounge, with a ceiling that is open to the sun and the stars.
