Southern Spoor lands PR, sales and marketing contract for Rare Earth Retreats

Southern Spoor Marketing is pleased to announce the appointment of Rare Earth Retreats into our ever-expanding portfolio of upmarket establishments. The addition of Rare Earth Retreats to Southern Spoor’s portfolio increases the hospitality marketing company’s presence to 34 hotels, lodges and guest houses across Africa and is an excellent complement to the growing portfolio.

Rare Earth Retreats is the proud flagship of a portfolio of African sanctuaries that prides itself on exceeding guest expectations. Rare Earth Retreats has enlisted the services of Southern Spoor for three of its properties: Ekhuthuleni Lodge, The Outpost, and Tshwene Lodge.

Ekuthuleni Lodge and Tshwene Lodge are situated in the malaria-free Welgevonden Private Game Reserve and The Outpost is found in the Kruger National Park; both reserves are in Limpopo province.

Ekuthuleni Lodge, a place of peace, is a luxury five-star lodge that has sweeping views of the savannah plains and is home to the big five. Ekuthuleni has five suites that offer intimacy and privacy, with magnificent views of the grasslands, giving a whole new meaning to nature on your doorstep. The romantic bathrooms open onto a private courtyard and have both indoor and outdoor showers. Ekuthuleni brings back the classic safari without losing any elegance, and makes use of earthy African hues in the lodge décor.

Tshwene Lodge is a secluded oasis in the rugged valley of the Taaibos River. The Chacma baboon, after which the lodge is named, calls late at night to alert of pending danger. The five strategically-located suites all offer exhilarating views of the valleys below and the hills beyond, which can be enjoyed from private decks, offering an inimitable safari experience. The double rooms have en-suite bathrooms and private outdoor showers for an invigorating end to your day.

The Outpost is a five-star luxury lodge situated in the far north of the Kruger National Park in Limpopo. The Outpost is the first lodge to be built in this vast region of the park. The land is a concession awarded to The Outpost as a result of a ground-breaking agreement between the Makuleke community and the South African National Parks Board. The lodge’s contemporary design blends seamlessly with its age-old natural surroundings, preserving the wilderness that is its home. The Outpost comprises one large main building and twelve stand-alone living Spaces set against the side of a hill overlooking the Luvuvhu River, all connected by a half kilometre long walkway made of Zimbabwean teak.

The contemporary design of each Space makes use of concrete and steel with retractable remote controlled screens which may be opened to offer 180-degree views of the river valley below which attracts many game including the big five, or closed depending on the weather. The living area of each Space comprises an outdoor terrace with daybed, indoor lounge and bedroom with king size bed under mosquito netting. The award-winning en-suite bathrooms offer full views of the surrounding bushveld, or can be screened off for privacy. The Outpost has won many awards, most notably  101 Best New Hotels – Tatler Guide 2005 (UK 2005), 100 Best New Hotels in the World – Conde Nast Traveller (US May 2004)and One of Five Best Baths with a View – Independent Newspaper (UK April 2004.
