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, 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. It's here where guests will find a modern bar area, coffee station, breakfast and lunch restaurant area, and a cosy loft area.
Accommodation wise, the lodge can accommodate up to 12 guests in six Meru-style Tented Suites. There is one Luxury & one Superior Suite and four Standard Suites. The luxury & superior suites are totally secluded and have their own private view of the drainage line below. They also boast a bathtub, his/hers sinks and an outdoor shower. They can also accommodate up to two children.
Suite facilities include a tea/coffee station, standing fan, air con, 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.

Brilliant customer service
Shann was excellent in finding the right trip for me, she was so responsive, answered my (many) questions and made planning the trip a seamless experience - I would definitely have struggled on my own. Highly recommend Safari.com. We can’t wait for our trip!

Outstanding and professional performance by Pascal John
Pascal John quickly proved his professionalism as well as his in-depth and experienced knowledge of South Africa safaris. He demonstrated the ability to rapidly understand what I was looking for out of a safari trip and how to make that happen. He added real value to the process with his connections to lodging reservations at various lodges and arranged for an itinerary that is not possible to accomplish by oneself on the internet alone. For example, he was able to negotiate away for me a single supplement. He added immediate value and quickly/painlessly everything came together. This includes booking flights, ground transport, lodging and wildlife drives. I can without reservation recommend working with Pascal John at Safari.com.
