Scope

  • Guestroom furniture packages
  • Lounge and dining furniture
  • Deck bar and back bar joinery
  • Bathroom vanities
  • Wardrobes and custom joinery
  • Delivery and on-site installation

ZANOVA manufactured and installed the complete furniture package for a twelve-suite lodge on the western corridor, including guestrooms, main lounge, dining pavilion, deck bar and staff accommodation. All pieces were crated in Arusha and installed by our own team across a three-week programme.

The challenge

The site sits nine hours from the nearest hardware supplier. Anything that failed would stay broken for a season, and every component had to arrive on a single convoy.

Our solution

We built every piece to be serviceable with hand tools, standardised fixings across the entire package, and shipped a spares crate with replacement webbing, cane panels and upholstery covers.
