About Umkhumbi Lodge

Umkhumbi is a small family-friendly bush lodge within a private nature reserve. We have 4-sleeper family chalets or 2-sleeper chalets, and offer a catered bush lodge experience.

Begin your evening by sipping sundowners with a view over the bushveld. The sunset is stunning from the restaurant deck and not to be missed! Enjoy chatting over drinks at the bar with other guests and guides. Dinner is served at the main restaurant, where we cater for all tastes and preferences. Bushbabies are regularly seen from the restaurant, and the stars shine brightly above the campfire after dinner.

Umkhumbi is ideal for family holidays with family chalets sleeping up to 6 people. Kids will love exploring the nearby trails and we have a swimming pool and play area as well as games at the lounge.
