"Birthing Triplets in the Bush"

Designing a lodge is a bit like birthing a babyā€”years of trying to fall pregnant, then nine long months filled with hard work, morning sickness, and plenty of uncomfortable situations. Designing, quoting, re- quoting, negotiatingā€¦ā€¦

But designing a migration camp? Thatā€™s more like birthing triplets.
Every single item needs careful considerationā€”not only for how it looks and feels, but for how it comes apart, flat-packs, and moves three times a year. You're not just designing a five-star luxury lodge. You're designing its packaging, too.

We personally pack each piece ourselves, loading trucks in South Africa and then traveling to Tanzania to oversee offloading.

We met these trucks on a hot, dusty road and spend the day transferring everything into smaller vehiclesā€”because the final leg of the journey is a 10-hour drive down rough dirt tracks.

After a full day packing, the guys wash off at a shared tap, hop in the trucks, and travel overnight so we can fly in to meet them.

Once everything (hopefully) arrives at camp, it's time to offloadā€”sometimes with nowhere proper to offload to. Thatā€™s when the real work begins: the final push to birth the triplets.

Itā€™s a beautiful chaos.
No power. Unexpected rainfall. Elephants blocking supply routes. Limited ladders. One drill. Many missing bolts and nuts. Puff adders slithering past. Vicious ants. Hyenas calling in the distance. And then, just when you feel like giving up, a golden African sunset that stops you in your tracks.

We persevere, always with the same end goal in mind: to create a beautiful guest experience in the middle of nowhere.
There might not be a hot shower for weeks but at least weā€™re lucky to have a comforting meal each night. Around the campfire, new friendships are forged, and we carry on.
And thenā€”finallyā€”itā€™s done. The birth is complete. The triplets have arrived.
Our precious bundles.
And just like that, itā€™s time to say goodbye. We have no choice but to leave our babies behind and move on to the next project. A new location. A new adventure.

Most people canā€™t really grasp whatā€™s involved until they live through it. Itā€™s a wild, demanding, and sometimes crazy rideā€”but itā€™s the life and career we have chosen. Itā€™s a blessing to work in these remote, unspoiled places with such loving, hardworking, like-minded souls. Some of us are just trying to make a living. Others are chasing a calling.

I often reflect on what I do and wonderā€¦ there are definitely easier and more meaningful careers out there. More important, life-changing work. But Iā€™m luckyā€”I get to do what I love. And maybe, just maybe, it brings a little joy to someone else along the way.
