Ngomfi Villa
About us
The Villa is inserted into the hillside over five levels. It is entered from the top via a private road that opens into a large gravel court dominated by a vast reflecting pool.
The Villa is really an exercise in landscape. Mature trees were maintained and help provide much-needed shade. Accommodation is grouped around a series of garden courtyards which provide ventilation and double aspect for its living areas. The rooms form a series of terraces which traverse the steep site whilst their roofs provide landscape and terraces for the rooms above.
‘Ngomfi’, the African hoopoe, the bird is believed to be a symbol of a loyal friend or a good visitor.
It is said that if you hear this bird sounding off in the bush, saying, “hoop-hoop, hoop hoop, hoop-hoop,” it means that you’re going to have an important visitor who will bring much prosperity!
This bird’s wing and tail feathers are black and white; night and day, darkness and light, pleasure and pain. So, if you see this bird, it is believed that you will have a visitor or a friend coming to you, who will stand by you, by night and by day, through suffering and through joy.
The bird’s general colour is like the colour of beer, corn beer, which is why this bird is associated with celebration, and with drinking and eating!

Fernanda S. asked:Infinity pool + forest for photo shoot Guys, i want to get a photoshoot on the infinity pool vibe, so looking for recommendations! We asked jungle fish but they want to charge 3millions for an hour just for the scenario (a bit too much) Do you know anywhere that would allow professional photos to be taken? Thanks for the help!Diann replied:www.ngomfivilla.com
