In a world of rushed schedules and scattered lives, true luxury is unhurried time together – unplugged, unpressured, and shared across generations. At Babirwa Golf and Bush Lodge in the quiet folds of the Waterberg, connection is restored as deeply as rest.

Inter-generational travel is no longer an afterthought. Increasingly, it’s the antidote to lives lived in parallel. Parents and grown children, grandparents and teenagers, even families joined through friendship, they seek places where conversation can stretch unhurriedly, where a morning’s coffee might become a story, and where memory is made in the same breath as rest.

For groups of friends, the impulse is similar but charged with nostalgia. To travel together as adults is to recover the ease of earlier versions of ourselves. The long talks, the late laughter and the comfort of people who know your history. The destination matters, but only insofar as it creates conditions for reconnection.

In that sense, Babirwa is less a lodge than a setting, a landscape calibrated to restore the art of shared time.

Just three units, each softened into the bush, shape Babirwa’s accommodation. Six bedrooms in total, but what they contain cannot be tallied so easily: space, hush and a gentle invitation to slow down. The design is unfussy, confident in its restraint. Wide verandas, deep chairs, textures that belong to the earth they rise from.
