Jabali Ridge: We Are Africa – Design Africa Award

“Whether it’s a showstopping art installation, interiors overhaul or pace-setting new build, we want to see the designs changing the look of modern Africa.”– We Are Africa

Jabali Ridge is a sophisticated base from which to explore Ruaha National Park.

Jabali Ridge‘s design is truly one-of-a-kind – each and every element of the lodge draws inspiration from the natural environment it finds itself in and the uniqueness of the Ruaha landscapes. This is a place where you are able to completely disconnect from your busy lives and connect with nature.

The design of Jabali Ridge blurs the lines between inside and outside accommodation, retractable doors with louvred shutters allow guests the chance to open up their rooms entirely to the wild. One of the main thinking was that the lodge shouldn’t be visible to the human eye from a distance, and it does this perfectly – the entire lodge blends seamlessly into the rocky outcrops of the region and, as with all Asilia projects, built with the highest respect for the natural environment.
