A rondavel is a round hut-like structure with a thatched roof, typically found in Southern Africa. It’s a traditional dwelling that is often constructed using local materials such as mud, thatch, and sometimes stones. Rondavels are commonly used as homes or guest accommodations in rural areas, and they are known for their simple yet sturdy construction and their ability to provide insulation against both heat and cold. They can also be used for various purposes like storage, workshops, or communal meeting spaces depending on the community’s needs.
