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.

Upcoming Imbali Safari Experience
Everyone at Safari.com has been great to deal with. Their website is very informative and their organization of our itinerary with our flights to and from the park is great. We're so looking forward this upcoming trip. A great conclusion to our travels visiting several Indian Ocean island and mainland countries.
