+          <p className="text-lg text-[#211c0d]/70 leading-relaxed">
+            Our lodge was born from a family&apos;s deep reverence for the Zulu Kingdom. In 2004, the Ndlovu clan opened their homestead to a handful of travellers, sharing stories around the fire and teaching the art of tracking under the Southern Cross. Today, that same spirit of <em className="italic text-[#d4af37]">ubuntu</em> — &ldquo;I am because we are&rdquo; — guides every welcome and every safari.
+          </p>
+          <p className="text-lg text-[#211c0d]/70 leading-relaxed">
+            The lodge sits on 2 500 hectares of private game reserve, where white rhino and giraffe roam freely. Each suite is named after a Zulu proverb, and the thatched boma echoes with the hum of marimba and the crackle of cedar logs. We don&apos;t just offer luxury bush accommodation — we invite you into our living heritage.
