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.

Your specialist for this lodge
Safari Specialist - Southern Africa
Knows Umkumbe Bush Lodge backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Lynn and Nerine across the team.
"Very helpful with itinerary and excellent arrangements of transport from and to Cape Town, and Idubi in Sabi Sands and Lukimbi in Kruger. Although a rep for Safari.com said a letter from a doctor was not required, such a letter IS REQUIRED to go on bush walks if older than 65. Fortunately, we checked the reserve web site and had a doctor's letter."
