This contemporary and richly textured private villa was designed in response to its remarkable location in this unique slice of Africa. The use of striking local materials like volcanic rock, river stone and oven-red clay bricks connects the structure to its setting. With sustainability as a fundamental design focus, it treads lightly on the land and offers an intimate engagement with the surrounding landscape.

Singita Kataza House gives guests the unique opportunity to encounter one of Africa’s most majestic creatures in the wild, while immersed in the beauty of their pristine natural habitat. It provides a comfortable, reflective and nurturing space in which to appreciate the transformative experience of coming face to face with the forest’s gentle gorillas.
