Resting comfortably under a canopy of indigenous trees in the southern stretches of the Sabi Sand, sits the inimitable and understated Umkumbe Bush Lodge.

Highlights

  • There are plenty of relaxation spaces to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush. The sparkling pool and surrounding deck area provide the perfect place to relax during the balmy summer season.
  • Activities include two game drives a day.
  • Avid safari-goers can enjoy sundowner setups, coffee stops, and all the extras synonymous with a Kruger safari.

You Should Know

  • Children aged 5 and over are welcome at Umkumbe Bush Lodge.

The Details

Built around a weeping boer-bean tree, the lofty treehouse atmosphere of the main lodge overlooks a variety of habitats: a winding drainage line leading to the seasonal Sand River, a forested thicket, and a section of open savanna. Guests will find a modern bar area, coffee station, breakfast and lunch restaurant area, and a cozy loft area here.

Accommodation-wise, the lodge can accommodate up to 12 guests in six Meru-style Tented Suites. There is one Luxury and one Superior Suite, along with four Standard Suites. The luxury and superior suites are totally secluded and have their own private views of the drainage line below. They also feature a bathtub, his-and-hers sinks, and an outdoor shower. These suites can accommodate up to two children.

Suite facilities include a tea/coffee station, standing fan, air conditioning, hand luggage stand, hair dryer, mosquito net, safe, bathroom amenities, changeable twin/double bed configurations, and a private seating area on a raised wooden deck.

Umkumbe Bush Lodge embodies the true Kruger safari experience.

2nd trip through Safari.com
Candis Cloete was great to work with. We had so many requirements for our 3rd trip to Kruger. She met all our expectations and we are so excited for our trip to Sabi Sands May, 2026. We had a hiccup with the payment system, but their Finance Manager, Kelly, got involved and then immediately confirmed receipt of our payment. This is our second trip with Safari.com and we would recommend them to anyone wanting to book a safari.
