Umkumbe Safari Lodge

Umkumbe Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sands is owner-managed and run; ensuring guests enjoy a personal, rustic and real South African safari experience. The lodge consists of six chalets with most overlooking the Sand River. Guests regularly see elephants, hippos, buffalo and antelope grazing in the riverbed. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, lounge, bar and dining area and the traditional boma, where guests are served delicious and hearty South African meals. The focus at the lodge is of the view of the seasonal Sand River, and for obvious reasons. Guests are treated to daily sightings of various animals grazing in the riverbed. The main lodge area consists of a lounge area, swimming pool with decking, as well as an open-air dining area and bar. All facilities have wonderful views of the riverbed. In addition, a safari to the Kruger would not be complete without the traditional boma experience. Dinner is served around a roaring fire against the natural night sounds of the bushveld.
The lodge sleeps a maximum of 24 guests in eight superior suites and three standard rooms. Eight of the chalets have en-suite bathrooms (with showers) and some of them are connected via an inter-leading door, offering families or two groups of friends or couples travelling together the perfect accommodation set-up. All rooms have twin or double beds and all have mosquito nets. Bedding is comfortable without being ostentatious. Most of the chalets have a small veranda with camping chairs, and with views of the Sand River.

Activities

One of the main aims of going on safari in Sabi Sand is to go on a game drive. All game drives are conducted in open 4x4 Land Rovers. This allows you 360-degree views, perfect for wonderful photographic and video opportunities.
Two game drives are offered per day (included in the price). For the more energetic, each day after breakfast there is the option of a morning bush walk. The walk is an opportunity to experience the bushveld at close quarters. All walking safaris are led by qualified rangers. They will explain the animal tracks and what animals passed through during the night, in addition to the sophistication of termite mounds and other interesting facets of the bush that go unnoticed on game drives. The chance to walk amongst wildlife allows you to fully immerse yourself in the African smells and sounds.
