The Lodge is located in the Mukitixi property, 40 kms from Kibala city, South Kwanza province, between the savannah and the river Longa waterfalls. The slope around the river gives and idyllic atmosphere to the site and designs islands, headlands, riverside beaches, waterfalls and vegetation. Mukitixi Lodge occupies an area of 33 Hectares with a Luxury Lodge. Its program includes 3 types of guest suites, social & lounge areas, restaurant areas, spa, staff housing, camping site, heliport, airstrip, farming areas and wildlife areas.
Inspired by nature, the architectural concept interprets the area’s ancient huts blending in the landscape. Pedestrian paths connect the luxury guest villas in an island surrounded by rapids of the Longa River. In terms of functional distribution the social area is located in the west and highest part of the site while the bungalows are arranged at a lower level along the river.
