Melote House: Luxurious Eco-Escape in Africa's Wilderness | Lepogo Lodges

Melote House emerges as a beacon of luxury and sustainability within the Limpopo Province. Its doors opened in January 2024, revealing a world where every detail harmonizes with the surrounding Lapalala Wilderness. The lodge's design, a marvel of carbon-neutral architecture, is as much a homage to the environment as it is a sanctuary for those who seek solace in nature's embrace. With rammed earth walls that whisper the ancient stories of the land, Melote House stands as a testament to the beauty of conscientious travel.

Community-Driven and Sustainable Travel Experiences by Wild Frontiers

Travel & Lust was born from travel experiences. We've dined with locals, cooked at houses, embarked on long guided walks, quad-biked through deserts and more. After posting photos and videos on social media, friends and family often asked us where we booked our experience, who with, where we stayed, etc., so we went from copying and pasting our answers to people to creating a travel website.

The Lust Series - Unrobe

We discovered sustainable fashion brand Unrobe, whilst visiting Amsterdam in April 2018. We were fortunate enough to spot them at their pop up on. It was the window depicting the transparent costs of an average garment to be made sold and distributed versus their own concept. The cross comparison highlighted that it wasn't only cheaper to purchase items from their own brand but fairer labour.

Go glamping at Olimia Adria Village

When you think of Slovenia, the last thing that probably comes to mind is glamorous camping, otherwise known as glamping. The term coined to best refer to a style of travel that pairs modernity with adventure has been in full swing the last few years. It is usually associated with festival-goers, bohemian 'gypset' and those in love with the outdoors. In reality, it suits a wider audience, as today you can find many resorts dedicated to luxe living in a tent with all the modern amenities, whilst being surrounded by a luscious green landscape.
