Few & Fur, a new luxury eco-friendly safari brand, is set to open a six-suite ecolodge within the Fenbe Biosphere Reserve in South Africa’s Soutpansberg Mountains in early 2025.
The lodge, Few & Far Luvhondo, aims to redefine the safari experience with an array of innovative services. Its centerpiece is Solfari, a solar-powered aerial cable car system that offers guests views of wildlife some 40 kilometers away from the treetops. This quiet, environmentally friendly mode of transportation allows visitors to observe wildlife and get a bird’s-eye view of the mountains.

Few & Far Luvhondo will also focus on culinary experiences featuring a comprehensive farm-to-table program. Travelers can look forward to Bushbush multi-course dinners paired with South African wines, breakfasts, traditional boma brice (barbecue), foraging tours, and more. The majority of produce is sourced from the lodge’s on-site farm, ensuring maximum freshness and seasonality.
Sustainability at the coreFew & Far says sustainability is core to its mission. As a participant in the Vera Registered Carbon Program, the lodge aims to sequester more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon annually through rewilding efforts. This commitment goes beyond environmental protection to active restoration of local ecosystems.

Cultural experience programs such as the ‘Conservationist Experience for a Day’ allow travelers to participate in the lodge’s conservation efforts.
Wellness also plays an important role in the Rubhondo experience. The lodge offers a variety of spa treatments using locally sourced ingredients while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. A meditative labyrinth walk provides guests with an opportunity for reflection and relaxation.
