Kuname Lodge is a small, unashamedly exclusive, luxury safari lodge set in about 9,000 hectares of pristine African bush, in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve. Only 45 minutes drive from the world-famous Kruger National Park in South Africa.
Bordered by the towering Drakensberg escarpment on the west and set in game-rich, lush, riverine vegetation, the facility offers a variety of breathtaking views, diverse landscapes, and some of the best Big Five game-viewing opportunities in Southern Africa.
Enjoy a cocktail beside the cool, clear waters of the rock pool, or sip a glass of champagne while you unwind and step into a world few have the opportunity to experience. Kuname Lodge will touch you deeply, rejuvenate you, and soothe your soul.
Relax in an environment surrounded by tranquil beauty while taking in the view on the wooden deck or soaking in your private outdoor bath.
Our five luxury, air-conditioned chalets are nestled in the dense African bush with magnificent views of the Kuvenjane River and Drakensberg mountains.
A taste of Africa is all you need to savour the assortment of flavours brought to you by Kuname’s top gourmet chef, ensuring each meal is an unforgettable culinary pleasure.
Traversing over the 9,000 hectares of supreme African bushveld, Kuname Lodge is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant), as well as a wealth of other creatures. Open-vehicle game drives are perfect for game viewing.
The magnificent game viewing provides perfect photographic opportunities. Enjoy the view of the Lowveld from a "kopje" surrounded by lush vegetation, a huge variety of trees, and over 365 different bird species. Game drives are conducted with qualified game rangers and Shangaan trackers, who will share their vast experience of the African bush and offer a chance to view cheetah on foot.

Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!

3-nights Zambia trip
I would start by saying before I started talking to Leigh-Ann Croeser I knew I wanted to go on this 3-nights adventure in Zambia with my family towards the end of this year, but I did not have any idea of how to go about planning it, thankfully Leigh-Ann responded immediately to my enquiry. Ever since I started communicating with her, she has been a very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, awesome Luxury Safari consultant who came through for me in every step of this process. She offered great advice and did a great job in customizing our itinerary and put my mind at ease in the process. She always responded quickly and gave me great advise when I needed. We are so looking forward to going on this adventure. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart;) Thembi Coleman and her family

I tried setting everything up myself
I tried setting everything up myself, but ran into a few hiccups. Less than an hour after reaching out to them in the late afternoon from overseas, I had a response. Leigh-Ann Croeser was quick to help me with all my lodging/ transport/ and special dietary plan needs. I'm looking forward to taking my special someone to this amazing place!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
