Legend extends offering, rebrands

LEGEND Lodges, Hotels
& Resorts is extending its
portfolio of properties following
a rebranding initiative: in May
it changed its name to Legend
Hospitality Group.
The company has acquired
Phofu Eco Safari Lodge in the
Kang area of Botswana – an
exclusive game reserve that
can cater for up to 18 guests
in either thatched, stone
or tented accommodation.
Guests can enjoy game drives,
nature walks, swimming
and game viewing from an
underground hide. It has
also acquired Mogotlho
Safari Lodge, north of Maun,
Botswana. The lodge is
situated near the River Khwai
and has 13 river-facing,
en-suite tents, a dining room
and an elevated viewing deck.
Group ceo, Peet Cilliers,
said: “Rebranding the Legend
Group is certainly a very
exciting endeavour for our
company. We believe that it
is important to continuously
keep innovating and evolving
in order to keep up with an
ever-changing industry whilst
still remaining true to the
core values of our brand
and creating Legendary
experiences at all of our
properties.”
The expansion follows
the recent opening of the
Signature clubhouse at Legend
Golf and Safari Resort and the
completion of renovations to
the pool deck-area at Dugong
Beach Lodge, near Vilanculos
in Mozambique.
The Ravineside and
Lakeside lodges at Entabeni
Safari Conservancy will also
complete refurbishments this
winter.
Legend also has plans for
more properties in Botswana
and Namibia.
