“Ndlovu” The African Elephant. The greatest creature to roam the earth’s surface, and hence the name we have chosen to represent our most magnificent product. Built within sight of arguably the most spectacular natural wonder of the world, the Victoria Falls, (the largest curtain of falling water on the globe, measuring 1.7km in length and dropping from a height of 110 metres), the Ndlovu table is truly a statement of permanent beauty.
Each Ndlovu table is unique. When we send scouts out into the interior of Central Africa to search for old reclaimable sources of African Teak, we particularly seek out the very rare long timbers found in the beams of old houses and barns, or where two railway lines meet and extra long timbers straddle the junction.
Once these timbers are transported back to our factory (often over thousands of kilometres), we select out the best of these special pieces and decide on the size and style of table to be made from them. Often we do not get sufficient suitable timber in a shipment to manufacture a table, and so place them aside and wait until we are lucky enough to find just the right piece before proceeding.
We manufacture to the maximum practical table top thickness of approximately 3 inches (75mm), unless commissioned by a client to produce a slimmer design or the timbers sourced do not allow for this thickness. Due to the extreme density and toughness of the timbers (they have been seasoned by the elements over the decades to almost the consistency of steel!), these tables are extremely heavy, weighing up to 500kg, or 1100 lbs. There is little danger of one ever being illicitly removed from the rightful owner!
We will offer these wonderful pieces on a once off basis to selected clients. If you require notification of pieces as they become available, please contact us.

When timber arrives at the Savanna Wood factory, it is carefully graded and the very best pieces are put aside for special projects, such as building an Ndlovu table. These specially selected beams may take two years to season properly due to the extreme density of the timber, but they will not be touched until they have reached the correct moisture content and are properly seasoned.
