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

Candis Cloete has a great service orientation!…
Candis Cloete has a great service orientation. You have the best Krueger-Victoria Falls combo trips out there and the best people running point for you as well. It was a no-brainer.

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.
