Thanks you for being such an attentive, caring and responsive host from the moment I booked with you. We loved your house and my wife especially with the kitchen that had everything she needed. Your recommendations on the excursions were spot on and your house manager is a fabulous extention of you. We couldn't have wished for a better stay. We also saw some impala's and other animals. I will recommend the house to my friends for sure.

You have a lovely place and we really enjoyed it. The road was a bit bumpy but you told us beforehand and it is life in the bush. The nightjars were calling when we were making a braai and it was surely great not to have to worry about loadshedding here. We will come back for a longer stay for sure.

We had a fantastic holiday and seen some amazing sightings. Probably the elephants in the watering hole was the most exiting. Chantal is a fabulous host that really went beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience and was available 24/7, as was her amazing local house manager. Definitely will be back again.

We had a great stay, family and kids enjoyed it. Great house, great atmosphere at remote location in the bush with Kruger entrance only 25 min drive and most Kruger animals in the garden. We will be back again hopefully one day.

What a peacefull great surroundings. The house is gorgeous, the beds were so comfy. Impala's at the watering hole every night was a plus but to see the leopard in the garden (luckily we were inside), was the most amazing and exiting experience ever, I get the 'wildlife without fences ' now. ANd from the moment of the booking, Chantal was a excellent host that helped with excursion bookings. Will definitely recommend it to everyone.

We had an amazing time at Umoja. The house is truely a gem and you have something very special here. The hospitality from Chantal in the Netherlands and her house manager Gertruida on site was absolutely exceptional. From the first moment, we felt they were there for us which made our stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights of our stay was seeing the elephants at the waterhole; an unforgetable experience.

We had a wonderful night at this place. Everything was perfect from the swimming pool to the dinner that was waiting for us to the BBQ area we used and heard, what we think, were hyena's howling nearby. The warm welcome from the host and local representative were exceptional. The stay was just too short. Many thanks and we hope to come back one day for a longer stay.

What an amazing place. And everything was organized perfectly. Will recomend to everybody.

Such an unforgetable stay. The house was beautiful and we had a visit from the ellies. Amazing. Thanks for the communication, much appreciated.

Thank you for letting us stay in your house, it was an amazing experience. Something different from Germany! The boatcruise, the guided game drive in the Kruger park, the food you organized upon arrival. Your extra attention to detail made our stay unforgetable.

The road in is a bit bumpy but we were warned about that. Apart from that, you have a stunning place. The interior is very comfortable and the house definitely spacious enough for 6 people. The host and local house manager are very communicative. Absolutely a place to stay for a couple of days and enjoy the Kruger and other highlights of South Africa.

We had the pleasure of staying in your amazing house for a full week and found it perfectly equiped and decorated and the many seating areas on the different terraces gave plenty of choice on sun or shade. The impala often came to join us while many nights we heard the hyenas howling nearby and the lions roaring at the Kruger fence. You are an amazing host. The excursions you suggested and helped us book were fabulous, from the boat safari to the game drive in the Kruger and an exiting bushbraai in the Kruger park. And the birthday cake you organized for me on my birthday was a real surprise. We thank you for making our trip one to never forget and will certainly tell others about you.

We had a wonderful stay at the house . The tips advices and all that was arranged for us was amazing, including the food Gertruida had premade for us. Looking forward to coming back.

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our time at Umoja a lot. The different sitting areas were perfect so we all could find our own spot to relax. The kitchen nook with all the birds, the lounge set with the sunrise over Kruger, the fire pit to have a sundowner, the pool area for fun times and watching the animals drink from the waterhole and the dining terrace with the cute lights at night. The lasagne meal we ordered in the fridge was exquisite and being Italians that says a lot. Our day in the Kruger with the ranger you organized was great as well. Wish we didn’t have to go back home so thank you for a lovely stay.

Truly a gem in the bush and not like any rental home but one that makes you feel like a real welcoming home away from home. Even though the owner lives abroad, any question you may have are looked after within minutes and the local house manager is equally welcoming and attentive. A firepit, multiple outdoor seating areas, a large inside living area and complete kitchen with not just your basic minimum utensils but most everything that you may think of. The garden waterhole and several birdbaths as well as the larger dam just outside the unfenced garden are ensuring excellent wildlife and bird viewing. We found it to be a true birders paradise. With a bit of luck you are rewarded with an elephant visit and of almost daily visits from impala, waterbuck and wharthogs. With the Phalaborwa Kruger park gate at 25 minutes you are set for the ultimate and affordable bush experience. And bush it is; you have to endure a bit of a bumpy ride on the bushroad but we warned and it added to the to the total experience. We (rented it as a couple) found this spot to offer high level luxury for a very affordable price out of season. We would absolutely recommend a stay for at least a couple of days to truly experience this gem and we will definitely come back next year.

Had some excellent few days at your house. As birders we loved the fantastic birdlife and your home made birders checklist you left for us on the table. Such a thoughtfull suprise. The lasagne dinner made by Gertruida was fabulous. Wiht the heat, the pool was much appreciated multple times per day. When we walked around one afternoon, we were welcomed back at the house by 3 elephants in the garden, glad we didn't ran into them during our walk, although you did warn us. Such an amazing encounter. You are a great host, keep up the good work.

What an amazing place you have. We enjoyed the quietness, the sounds, the ambiance and the view of the bush. And the pool and hammock were a real treat. Such a great place to enjoy. The house did not lack anything. What a surprise luxury, especially for a rental home. Hopefully we may rent your house again in the future and we will definitely stay longer as just 2 nights certainly was not enough.

Superb accommodation and we had an extraordinary stay in your lovely house. From one professional host to another: we were blown away! We should have booked for at least 3 nights but will be back. Thank your lovely staff as well for their hard work and hospitality and we hope to be able to host you one day soon in La Réunion.

We found another place in the world where everything is still right and in perfect balance. Thank you and your staff for our fabulous stay. Only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We will be back!

You guys have an absolutely amazing gem here. And it created a very special place in our heartsand and a lot of special memoreis for us as a family. I would really like to thank you deeply for allowing us to share this very special place of heaven. We really hope to come back and spend some more time here.

Had an amazing time at your house. Compliments for the interior decorating, the welcome, your assistance with everything. Stunning location in the bush. The road was bad but you did warn us about that. We had a great time.

We had a great few days here at Umoja. We had the hyena come up in the garden the first night already at 22:30h making his typical sounds! We even saw more animals here then on our first day in Kruger. The impala clearly have their territory just outside the garden as you could see them sleeping at night when driving back from town. There were Kudu, waterbock, impala, hornbills and many more. The place is clean and the airco's are very nice. Thanks for everything and making our stay so comfortable.

Where do we begin? The house and surroundings are beautiful and we were blessed by visits of many animals and birds. The highlight has to be the elephants that visited the garden waterhole and swimming pool! But don't forget the birdlife, we spent hours just enjoying so many different birds. The house is very well equiped and thank you for your speedy response to every question that we had. And we now know how to manage whatsapp, who would have thought that you would be the one teaching us that. We will be back, definitely!

Thank you so much for a truly amazing experience. We have enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was a lovely suprise and the outdoors was amazing. There was so much to enjoy, the pool, the view. We even had several visits from the elephants which was amazing. Your house is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Hopefully we will return again.

Everything was perfect! Thanks for your kindness, quick responses and warm welcome to your house. We will be back and stay here rather then inside Kruger from now on.

Everything was better than best and we enjoyed every minute in your beautiful "hideout". We had a lot of animal spotting: hyena, impala, duiker, njala, many birds and two different turtles. Oh, and don't forget the nightly serenade from the frogs. One time even one of the masks outside began to move, a turtle was behind it singing his song. We wish that we could stay longer but for sure we want to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay in your bushvilla.

We so enjoyed your wonderful house and the ultimate Bush experience. Baie dankie!

We had an amazing time at Umoja and thank you for all your good ideas and help with our entire trip from Cape Town to here. It was the most beautiful trip we ever made! The trip with the ranger you organized was fantastic, we saw the big 4 and on the bushbraai evening even a leopard. But nothing beats seeing elephants walking in the garden. That was an experience of a life time. Umoja felt like a home away from home and we loved every minute of the week that we spent here. We don't want to leave... we dreamed of Africa; you gave us that dream.

You can see that you have decorated this house with love and attention. Although the weather was less, we still enjoyed the stay. The first night we were treated to the visit of a porcupine already and the last day we had 4 elephants enjoying themselves in the waterhole. Great that you share your beautiful place with others to enjoy.

Awesome, great, simply perfect stay. The house and around the house is wonderful. Unfortunately didn't see too many animals but we did see lots of different birds and we were away to the park a lot.

A wonderful stay in luxury in the bush. Highlights were seeing the 6 waterbuck at the waterhole from the patio at midday. We enjoyed the gorgeous settings. We saw an elephant on the last night and Jackson told us a lot about the animals on the estate. We loved the game drive that you booked for us, Craig is so knowleadgeble. And during the boatcruise we saw elephants, giraffe, hippo and many kingfishers so thank you for booking it as well. Your help and extra care made our stay fantastic. Hope to come back one day.

Well what can we say but thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. The beauty and peace of the African bush is unforgettable and we all recharged our batteries. The birdlife is amazing and we spend hours gazing through our binoculars. Everything is available to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you for your kindness and friendship and we will be back.

Great time chilling after a week in the Kruger and to have the elephants come over to the waterhole in the garden was the cherry on the cake. What a thrill. Most grateful for the back up battery system so we did not even notice there was loadshedding.

I just couldnt wait to write in this book. Thakn you for the constant communication and answers to all our question pre-arrival. The friendly welcoming and caring gesture from you and your housemanager were absolutely fantastic. We can’t stop praising the set-up, cleanliness and quality of your house. It is beyond more than we expected. What a peaceful environment, the decorations, the pool, the bathrooms. Apparantly there was loadshedding but we didn’t even notice it. And to see the impala enter the garden at sunset was such an amazing moment. We loved everything of our stay here.

We dreamed of Africa… and our dream became reality. Such a beautiful house that you have and to see the animals come in the garden to drink from the waterhole was the absolute dream come true. The tips you gave on the trips in Kruger were spot-on, and you were always a whatsapp away. You made our stay unforgetable.

We will certainly recommend your house to others. Your housemanager was very welcoming and professional, the cleaning ladies had left the place spotless for us and you communicated with us from the beginning till the end. The house, the décor, the location, all was top quality and we loved the invertor backup system so no loadshedding problems as elsewhere. Our stay was worth absolutely every cent.

The three best days I’ve had by far. Started our mornings with the sight of elephants, and we had the privilege to see them around all 3 days. We went on the boat cruise as you suggested and it was fantastic. We even got to see not only 1 but 2 leopards. The Kruger park Safari with the ranger you booked for us was also amazing, such a knowlegable man so thank you for helping us book those trips. We had the best time ever with the family and really enjoyed our stay. I don’t have the words to properly explain and I will definitely recommend your place to other people and hope to come back in the near future. Thank you

It is becoming almost our second home away from home where we yearly book a week to enjoy the bush. You provide everything one may need and your house does not feel like a rental home at all. That is what we love the most and this year the added value of the battery back up was an extra surprise. We even had guests of a neighbours house come over as they had no power and enquired with us as they were not happy with their house and host and so we explained to them that you are not affiliated with those rentals at all and we come back here yearly. We made new friends and they also fell in love with your place, especially after hearing from us how you welcome us and seeing it with their own eyes. We are already looking forward to next years stay and enjoy the quiet bushlife, the animals that come to drink in the garden, the enormous amounts of birds that keep us busy during the day, and you as a lovely host : who could ask for more. Keep up the good work and we’ll be back next year !

You have a lovely home and our compliments to your staff as well. The house was clean, you thought of every detail and your hostess was very professional and welcoming. I will most certainly recommend your house.

Thank you for organizing the dinner and breakfast pack so we could just arrive and relax. We loved your place as it has all you can think of for self catering. The beds were also of excellent quality ! We enjoyed our days watching the birds, impala, waterbuck and were even so lucky to see one of the elephants one day. We will come back again and tell everybody about this hidden gem.

Your house is lovely and there was even more wildlife as expected as we saw 2 elephants. We could easily have stayed longer.

Such a splendid location and you are a wonderful host from the moment that we booked. Thank you again for ‘saving’ us from the Kruger park when we got stuck in the mudd and you set up a search party, beyond what a normal host would do. The children loved the pool so we as parents also had time off and the lasagne meal that you had prepared for us upon arrival was perfect. All was perfect, the best location in our entire trip.

The house met all our expectations and more and made me want to come back even before we left. The birdlife is amazing so having 4 birders amongst us, it kept us busy the entire day. We ended up visiting Kruger only once as we enjoyed the house too much. The extra bonus was not having to worry about loadshedding with great Wifi and our wine always being chilled. Thank Paula and the staf for keeping the house spotless and thank you for always being just a phone call away and being available for any question at any time of day. We’ll be back for sure.

The name already implied it, wildlife without fences and indeed. We watched birds, impala, waterbuck and the highlight was the visit of two elephants in the garden at the waterhole. We could only dream about that. Thank you Chantal for all your tips on excursions, restaurants and with helping book some of them. Also thanks to your staff that keeps this house so clean and welcoming.

Thank you for letting us spend our honeymoon here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is truely a place not to miss, even if it is the second time I've stayed here. And what a lovely surprise to find a bottle of bubbly cold in the fridge and red little hearts on the bed! It is our absolute dream destination with the bushsounds, the animals in the garden and we saw so many birds. The distance to the Phalaborwa gate was even shorter than we remembered. Also thank your housemanager and cleaning staff for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back again.

We just want to keep coming back to this place as any wildlife lover would do. We were so lucky to see the elephants on an almost daily basis, and of course the impala as well. Love the birdbaths that are a magnet as well. Your house is well equiped and very clean so compliments to your staff.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience this lovely place. You and your housemanager are great hosts and the cleaning staff was also fantastic.

We had a fantastic stay in your beautiful house at this amazing place! The breakfast and dinnerpack that you arranged were tasteful and well arranged, thank your housemanager from us. We loved the wildlife in the garden, heard the hyena's at night, saw the impala and waterbuck and even an elephant on our way to the gate one day. We hope to come back some day.

we loved coming back and enjoyed your house so much, the sounds, the colour, smells of the bush, the comfort of the house with all its seating areas and views and the kids loved the pool. Thank you for your help in booking the excursions and tips for the rest of the trip. We will certainly tips others to book here.

We can't help but just keep coming back as it was now our third time and we still love the place. You put such attention to detail and absolutely everything one can think of needing is here. What can I say more: we will definitely be back for a 4th time.

Our family enjoyed the stay in your house immensely, a perfect last destination after a holiday through South Africa and the Kruger park. You make the house feel like a home away from home. We felt safe with the other houses nearby, but still had all the privacy. With the Kruger park only 15 minutes away we ended up taking a short drive every day after all. And especially thank you for sticking with us when we had to cancel the trip 3 times after Covid and helping us out each time to make a new planning with tips on other locations as well.

Your house was on our bucket list and it absolutely lived up to the expectations. We will certainly book it again when visiting the northern part of the Krugerpark. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

We had two wonderful days at Umoja and every morning we were greeted by some hyena. The boatsafari you organized was lovely and we saw lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and lots of birds that. We also saw a lot of birds in your garden and took many pictures. We will book again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your fabulous house. The quietness of the bush, the animals in the garden and of course the visit of the elephants which was the highlight of the stay. We will have a hard time ever booking inside the Kruger camps again as this was so much better and only 20 min to the gate but with so much more comfort. Thank you for helping us with the excursions and the rest of the trip. Hope to come back again one day.

Have we enjoyed our stay at your house!! It was so clean and furnished so cosy. The visit of the elephants at the waterhole in the garden was an amazing experience but the highlight of the stay was the hyena in broad daylight coming for a drink as well. We would love to come back one day.

Thank you for the warm welcome. We enjoyed your beautiful house, the pool, the stoep with the view on the waterhole. A daily joy was to see the amazing amount of birdlife and to wake up with the daily visit of the duiker. And to be surprised by a visit of an hyena on the first night, made our stay unforgettable. We definitely hope to be able to visit again soon.

What a beautiful house. We enjoyed all the different sitting areas with different views, the stunning sunsets, the birds, waterbuck, impala, and even a visit from the elephants. And at night we could even hear the lions roar, glad to know that was at the Krugerpark side of the fence as it sounded very close. Thank you for the hospitality and the attention you gave us with helping book the excursions and with planning the rest of our trip in South Africa.

We had an absolute wonderfull time at your house with an extra surprise to see the hyena and the elephants in the garden. The kids were super exited about that. Especially after several nights in the Kruger park this was a fresh breath of air compared to their accommodations and to than see wildlife in the garden. We had not expected to encounter them so close, wow! We loved the decorations, the luxury, the pool, the quiet and peaceful surroundings and will tell all others to spend time here instead of in Kruger and rather drive to Kruger. Hopefully we will be able to come back one day.

what a stunning house at a fantastic location. If we had know beforehand we would not have booked inside the Kruger. This was by far the best location in the Kruger area and in hinesight, we could have done most highlights from here. Thank you for this experience.

We had 5 very nice days here as always and will book for next year to come back. Hopefully the dirt road will be of better condition but we understand that it is bushlife so will just have to accept that. See you next year.

The house was super comfortable, cosy and clean and overexeeded our expectations. The evening visit of porcupine was so amazing. The owner helped us with lots of tips and you could reach her at any time. Even without a restaurant really close and a bit of bumpy bushroad, this for us was the best stay of our South African trip.

Thank you for the lovely hospitality and stay. The quietness of the bush combined with the tranquility of the estate gave us an excellent impression of South Africa. We are looking forward to coming back for a longer stay next time.

We had a scintilating holiday at your amazing house and fell in love with the environment. We will definitely try to make this our second home and utilize your splendid facilities for future entertainment for our family as well as for business stays.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your house. This was home away from home. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality. You were always just a phone call away. The tranquility at the house is so amazing. We will surely come again in the near future.

What a peaceful and relaxing stay and a great escape from the Covid mayham in Cape Town. The house has everything and more that you want. We loved the wildlife in the garden. We gave the impala a bit of a scare when we came back one night and they were asleep in the garden. Sorry about that and were definitely impressed to encounter the elephants. We will certainly come back soon.

It has trully been a heartwarming experience for us. We have never been to a holiday home where we received so much care, hospitality and love. The whole set up of the house, the view, host and of course the elephant friends, everything was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back again.

Peace and quiet, exactly what I was looking for. The house was beautiful and neat, everything was available no problems at all.

We had an absolute fantastic time at your house. During the first two days of our stay we had the elephants visit us and they came in the garden for a drink. What an experience! We will come back as you have seen by our next booking.

altough the weather didn't play along we had a great stay. Comfortable house, nice ambiance and the service was excellent. Host was always availble so will definitely come back again soon.

We had a wonderful time staying at your beautiful house. The house was well equiped and had everything we needed. The boys enjoyed the pool while we relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful environment. Hope to stay here again soon.

It was a great stay in nature with lots of wildlife. The house was well equiped and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Dankie vir n wondelike blyplek. Het die diere en omgewing baie geniet. Sal die plekkie altijd in my hart bewaar

We would like to thank you for a truly hospitable and memorable stay. It was without a doubt beyond anything we could have expected. From our braai to waking up to the beat of the elephants in the backyard. Every single one of us found joy, peace and tranquility during our stay. We would especially like to thank you for all the help and allowances made for us with regards to our stay. Your kindness and energy will be edges in our memories forever.

We as a family have enjoyed our stay in your place. The most wonderful thing is the quietness. We were able to bond as siblings and relax. The nature just brings back memories that are so touching. And the swimming pool made our stay to be extra relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks again and again and again for all your efforts and hospitality.

we have head the most amazing time at Umoja Kruger despite the wet weather. We were able to relax, unwind and share comforable quietness in the bush. The house has everything you could possibly need and was very accommodating. We have enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to come back again soon. Loved the view! Loved the peace and quiet and we all loved the fridge!!!! Thank you so very much for your attention to detail and being there for us at any moment of time.

A fantastic experience at the best house on Silonque! The house is turned out to be the only one with a full view over a dam and a private waterhole that made all the animals come into the garden. The kitchen had all that you need, but we loved the starter ready-to-use bbq package for the first night. Less hassle as well as the optional breakfast that we tried the first morning so we did not have to rush with the groceries. The road is was unfortunately not in the best state after the rains so we recommend a higher clearance car in rainy season. We especially loved all the terraces around the house with good furniture, lots of shady places to sit and each with a different view. Thank you for your excellent communication, that was a real special experience and we definitely too advantage of your tips and your itinerary suggestions. We will spread the word about this little gem.

Your house is a true gem and we are so lucky that we found your place. You have decorated it so lovely and thought of everything. The house is not at all just another rental but gave us that homely feeling from the second we walked in. The huge oven was great, thanks for your tip, since the kids loved the pizza’s we made while we enjoyed a glass of wine outside. It was definitely more relaxing than going out to a restaurant, And we definitely used the filtered icewater from the fridge! We are so disappointed that we only booked for one night. This is the best place we have ever stayed in. The only minus could be that the road from the gate to the reception was very bad but we could see that it was the rain that made the bumps and as you warned us beforehand so yes: it is live in the bush. Thank you for the tip on the floodlight outside since we saw two porcupines near the waterhole at night.

Your place is located fantastic. And we were surprised after travelling around all over South Africa how clean you keep the place, you must really train your staff very well. We loved the house and the location. Our friends that have never been to South Africa absolutely fell in love with your place as well. We felt proud to show them this place since we invited them. We will tell others about you. Keep up this great standard

We enjoyed a lovely 5 days and being so close to the Kruger we could take short tours without a problem. With the wildlife in the garden you are not even tempted to go every day. The Wifi is very good and the house is excellent. The only minus is the bumpy road from town but we know that bushroads are hard to keep flat in rainy season. The dinner you organised for us was great and the boatcruise was also a nice excursions.

Thanks for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful time and are already planning our next trip back. The house was well equiped and the garden and the estate well maintained. Thank you for all the recommendations and input, everything was just spot on. Special shout out to the super friendly staff.

Thank you for a lovely stay. We had a well deserved rest and are looking forward to coming again.

Many thanks Chantal, we enjoyed our stay, despite the loadshedding. We felt home away from home right away an we surely will be back a next time.

Being a regular return guest at Bushvilla Umoja Kruger it still suprises me everytime I come back If it is with my husband, my daughter, my son and daughter-in-law, each time it feels like coming home to a very special place in South Africa. We arrived in a dry bush and saw it turn green after the first rains. Sitting on the terrace we enjoyed the birds, duiker, impala and waterbuck. Of course we went on safari with Craig, everytime we come here. The house feels warm, inviting, is more luxurious than my house at home and we love to come here time and time again. We will be back...

We have extremely enjoyed our stay in your wonderful home. The peaceful environment and the lovely setting made our stay truly wonderful. The facilites were spot on and very comprehensive. Your wonderful pool ws the crowning glory and we spent many hours relaxing ther looking out over the bush. We are looking forward to coming back again.

We travel to South Africa every year and stay in different places everytime but your house is absolutely exceptional. We just loved everything about it. Even with the larger group we all had our privacy since the bedrooms are far apart from each other and each had their own little semi private terrace or could take chairs to look for a bit of privacy when you wanted it. We spend a lot of time watching the birds and in the morning the little duiker that came like clockwork to drink in the garden. And the evenings filled with the sounds of the hyena nearby in the bush with even one night hearing lions roar very close by (happy to hear from you it was at the Kruger part of the fence) made it magical. Chantal: you are definitely exceptional to work with, thank you for all your help and recommendations that made this trip extra special. We will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed every second in this lovely house and already looking forward to coming back. Everthing was just perfect, from the delicious braai that was ready for us in the fridge to the tips and trips you recommended. An excellent equipped house and a very helpful staff. The team was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the wildlife that came to visit us, the birdlife, the duiker that came daily and a true suprise were the elephants who decided that the garden needed a make-over.. .The porcupine we spotted roaing the bushes was the cherry on the cake. This is a very special place, like none we have visited before. It created a memory that we will never forget.

Your house is so much bigger than we thought it would be and you can see that you come from Europe and keep the place above the normal standard. We brought a lot of kitchen supplies from home but actually didn’t need them since your kitchen is definitely well equipped. The different seating areas were used by each one of our party so that was a real bonus. It is an absolute birders paradise so we will be back for that! Thank you for your quick communication everytime, very refreshing. We will be back next time.

If we had know this beforehand we would have booked more nights, it is so much better than the Kruger park camps. We saw so many animals in the garden, and could not believe it when the elephants walked in the garden just before we left. Wow! If we ever come back, we will certainly stay here more nights and enjoy the house, the inviting swimming pool and the estate more. Thank you for organizing breakfast at the bopa and the lasagne with the salad when we arrived. It was great to arrive, not really cook and enjoy the sun set with that wine. And than you also for all your tips on our trip in South Africa, we now saw places we otherwise would have skipped. Arrivederci

what a great place you have. It was unfortunately a very short stay but we enjoyed it so much. We saw our first porcupine ever in your garden and heard the hyena's in the bush nearby every night. That was exiting. Unfortunately we did not see the elephants. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Umoja.

What a wonderful place, everything you wish for and more ! Everything Chantal recommended as excursions and her help with it was perfect. We loved our first safari so much that we booked another one. Are we glad we did since we got to see a lions pride only 20km from the Phalaborwa gate. The boat cruise was also great. The staff are fantastic and Chantal: you are the best! We will recommend this place to EVERYONE!!!!

What a lovely week we had during our family reunion in your house. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the luxury of our ensuite bathrooms as well as the numerous seating areas where each could find his own privacy when needed. The highlight of our visit was a porcupine and two elephants that destroyed some of your garden. We loved your tip on the boatcruise and the safari ranger! Thanks also to the excellent friendly staff here. We enjoyed ourselves and most certainly will be back.

From the first moment we arrived we fell in love with your beautifull ouse. We had a pefect stay here but wished we would have booked longer. Thank you so much for everything and we will definitely come back!

Your house is absolutely the best place that we have stayed in during our trip through South Africa, what a unique place. We saw so many animals while we were here, hyena, impala, lots of birds (even an owl) but the highlight was of course the elephants that came into the garden. The infinity pool at the bopa was a huge success with the kids, and what a great idea: the honesty bar there. Thank you again Chantal, for helping us out with arranging someone for our carproblem so we can still make it in time to Johannesburg and for also helping us with the planning and tips on the rest of our trip, it made it extra special . We will definitely recommend this place to everybody.

Thank you Chantal for the excellent stay. Everything you need is here, even a complimentary binoculars. We spotted a zebra, wharthogs, impala and lots of birds. The children enjoyed the swimming pool and we enjoyed the bbq and lounge set. The staff is extremely friendly. In short, it was FANTASTIC, we will always cherish this memory.

We had a fantastic wildlife experience here as well as in Kruger. The house and it's setting is perfect, peaceful, quiet and surrounded by nature. Having elephants outside the house was so exiting and something we will never forget, nor the huge porcupine outside the patio door. The birdlife is fantastic, we have logged 31 different species from the house! It is that we only saw the leopard by accident the last day otherwise we would have not gone to bed the entire stay. Chantal is so helpful and friendly, thank you! And the cleaning ladies singing happy birthday to our son on his 18th birthday (thx for that Chantal) was priceless. Thank you for letting us stay here and we will never forget it.

What an excellent location and we had a perfect stay. Thank you Chantal for ‘being’ there for us; from the second we booked until we left. Even if it was via whatsapp and email, it felt almost as if you were there. Compliments also to the staff that was very welcoming with a warm smile making us feel right at home. We loved the interior of the house with all its African décor as well as the typical African bathroom. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The most amazing place we have ever been to and loved all the little details. Thanks for this special stay.

We loved our stay in this beautiful house and are already looking at coming back next year. The only remark that we have is that the washing service of the estate is extremely high, something to consider for them perhaps. Apart from that, the owner itself was extremely helpful and kind and the housekeeping staff is fantastic.

Thank you so much for the stay in your lovely home. We had a great time and enjoyed everything. Thanks for your tips and helpfull advice and for the perfect organistation. We will be back next year!

It has been a perfect finish to a Kruger holiday. Such a lovely space and we have been really able to settle in and relax and feel at home. Chantal and the staff ave been so accommodating, especially with the extra things that make it that bit easier with young children. Hope to return some day.

We loved your house. It was to us the most excellent stay in our entire trip through South Africa. We had to laugh when coming back from a short Kruger trip to the Sable Dam with not too much animals there to find a herd of impala, waterbuck and later that afternoon even the elephants in the garden. As you already told us: sometimes you see more around the house than in the Kruger. Und Ihr Deutsch war exzellent, das war eine zusätzliche Überraschung. Hoffentlich bis nächstes Jahr.

We absolutely oved the stay at your house and felt it was actually too short. We will call you soon to book for this Christmas and spend more time here with friends from Europe. Thanks for the wonderful welcome, the great dinner and we have found our new secret affordable location. So much better than inside the Kruger, and we have never had elephants in the garden in the Kruger camps so we will definitely come back.

What a treat to enjoy your home. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the staff, that was always happy to assist in anything. We have enjoyed EVERY minute! We would recommend it to everybody.

What a stunning house you have, we loved the lay-out of the three large bedrooms with the terrace all around it so much the first time that we could not wait longer than 2 years until we came back again. Chantal: thank you for your extreme kindness and all your help in with the tips to make our trip through the rest of South Africa even better this time around and we hope to come back again.

Seeing the guestbook, we are not the only returnguests. And we can only confirm the sentiment: once you have been to this house, you are eager to come back again and stay longer. We had a lovely Easterweekend. And again, we were treated to the elephants, even at the border of the swimming pool! We have told others about your stunning place !

We came back for the second time to this stunning house and we already know that we will be coming back again. The owner gives you tips on excursions and is very helpfull. You can spot animals from the terrace on a daily basis, birds, small game but with a bit of luck also the elephants. The Krugerpark entrance is only 15 min away and Hoedspruit and Tzaneen, and the start of the Blyde Canyon only 1,5hrs drive away. We just loved the different seating areas all around the house and the complete interior, all you can think of is there. In short: a great place to spend more days.

Thanks for the perfect stay in your house. It has gone by so fast but it was so perfect. The location, the house and it's interior and all the animals that we saw. We hope that we can come back some day.

This is the house you dream of when thinking of South Africa. It feels like you have booked in a very expensive private game reserve but the price is so reasonable. And the fact that you can add breakfast and the owner offers a solution for a diner on arrival is even better. We thought we had to buy a lot of things, since it is self catering, but even shampoo, kitchen paper towels, basic condiments like coffee, tea, peper, salt, etc, it was all there. We were very positively surprised and sorry we only staid one night. It felt like a little paradise with a bit of a bumpy road to get to.

We came back for a second time since we fall in love with the place last year. And it felt like coming home again. The bush was a lot greener this year and we saw the porcupine, waterbuck, impala and so much birdlife. But the showstopper was the half hour that we just sat and enjoyed watching 3 elephants cooling down in the dam in front of the house. Where else do you get to see that. Life in the bush, we love it!! And guess what, we will be coming back soon.... thank you Chantal for all the extra's that you always offer in advice and help.

Dear Chantal, we are so grateful for all your help, good advise and commitment. Your house and surroundings were more than we could dream of. Thank you for helping us with the rest of tour through South Africa, the memory of a lifetime.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld en ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad. Die swembad was lekker met die hitte. Die kinders het dit geniet. Pragtige sig op die dam en ons het baie diere gesien. Ons dink dit is jammer dat ons weer moet gaan maar ons sal weer daar gaan bly!

Excellent location to the Kruger Park although a bit of a bumpy road to the house. The rain the days before had left it’s tracks but the house is very beautiful and the rooms are all furnished welcoming and of high quality. Sorry to have stayd only one night.

Chantal and staff: thank you for the excellent stay. You are the prefect host and it was so nice to be able to communicate in French with you. We have had an absolutely perfect stay and I will recommend this accommodation to everybody that is looking for a trip to the Kruger Park. As we say in French: Superbe séjour, une équipe au top et une propriétaire génial !

We had a beautiful week and enjoyed the luxury of this stunning house. We made new memories. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house. We will certainly come back. PS: we actually don't want to leave!

We had a lovely stay in your house and saw the elephant at the swimming pool! Unfortunatelly we had to leave early due to circumstances but we will be back one day. Thank you for everthing.

What a pleasure to come back here. The house as all you need and more. But mostly what's going on outside was a real treat. The elephants, giraffes, porcupines, Kudu, impala, waterbuck, honey badger, steenbok, duiker and so many different bird species ... that is what we came here for and we were not disappointed. With as special treat an elephant standing at the terrace one night. Keep the wildlife roaming freely and so close to the house! We will try to come back some day.

What a fantastic place you have. We have seen so many animals amongst that a wharthog with 2 babies that slept under the tree in the garden. The view is fantastic and the swimming pool very nice to cool off. Thank you for sharing your lovely place so we and others can enjoy this amazing house and location. We will try to come back some day and have already had our family book with you.

The elephant used our pool daily for refreshment and we are completely stunned by the beauty of this house and the outstanding hospitality of you and your staff. Many thanks to your staff and to the owner Chantal for her online recommendations on trips especially for the arrangement with Nandzana safaris in a full day private game safari in the Kruger park. To complete the list of the animals we saw while in the house: elephant, giraffe, wharthog, porcupine, impala and kudu. Where else can you get so much for such a nice price. It felt like a private expensive game reserve. We will spread the word.

Love your lodge/house. Widlife around that you can see or hear and the pool was a welcome extra feature on the warm days we had. Thank you also to the excellent staff. Kruger next door and the Phalaborwa gate only 20 minutes away. We will be back.

We are so happy to be back for another week in your beautiful home. Just love the large kitchen and the homely feeling. It felt like being at home instead of a holiday rental. We heard the hyena’s howl every night and we were greeted upon arrival by a large herd of waterbuck. All the nooks around the house with sitting areas each gave us a different view of the bush and flet like being in a different place each time. Morningcoffee on the lounge set, breakfast at the kitchen terrace, swimming pool time in the loungers, shade during a warm day taking the light chairs to the patio and in the evening dining with the sound of the frogs. We loved their serenade taking us away from the hussle and bussle of city life. After all the trips that we have already made to South Africa, this house has become a very special place to us and we hope to come back again and again.

we had an excellent stay in your comfortable house. Enjoying the pool while seeing the elephants take a bath in the dam and they would come into the garden to eat the leaves of the trees. It is an astonishing sight. Bushlife is fascinating and your house is an exquisite place to enjoy that to the fullest. Thank you for the hospitality.

Baie dankie Chantal dat hulle ons verseker het dat ons verblyf heerlik is. Ons het die natuur vanaf die stoep geniet, ons het olifante, muishonde, rooibokke, duikertjies, steenbokkies, en 'n klomp voëls gesien! Die personeel is baie vriendelik. Heerlike swembad en baie kuier plek. Luukse verblyf met alles wat jy mag nodig kry. Ons gaan beslis weer daar kuier.

We would highly recommend the place to everybody. The house is spacious and very luxurious with really no lack of anything you could think of. To us it felt like paradise to relax and the Kruger only 25 minute away. We booked several excursions via the owner without her charging extra for this and the boat safari with the food platter was magnificent! The owner gave great service not only before but also during the stay. Baie Dankie for a wonderful time!

Hello Chantal, we knew you had a nice place but your home exceeded all our expectations. What a wonderful setting to immerse in the Kruger and its surrounding areas. Very comfortable and all personnel very helpful. We sincerely love to be back another time. Thanks for all your valuable and always timely advise. You are a superhost! Muchas Gracias.

We loved to stay here and we got used to our new pets: 3 big elephants. They like to eat the trees around the house and they watch us when we go swimming. Thank you for this marvellous holiday.

We stayd 5 days in your house and enjoyed it. Sorry about the tree, the elephants pulled it down. But it was amazing and to hear the hyenas at night. We also saw hares, wharthogs, hornbills and squirls. The house is very beautiful and comfortable and thank you for letting us stay here. We will come again some day.

Fantastic bush location. After a round trip through South Africa we spend a short week here and it was the best place we have been to. Wildlife all over, we were welcomed by 4 elephants in the garden and saw giraffe, wharthogs, common grey duiker all in the garden itself. The house is so comfortable and really has everyting you can think of and more. Our kids loved the board games, the swimming pools and we even played some tennis. The staff is very friendly and makes sure that you will be happy. We (family with kids) really enjoyed Umoja! And to Chantal: thank you for all the help with our roundtrip and the tips you gave us. You made our holiday into an unforgetable experience. We will certainly tell our friends about this place

Thank you for a lovey stay. The house is beautiful and the surroundings are very peaceful. Unfortunately we did not see any animals although it felt like Africa. Keep up the great work and all the best.

Thank you for the lovely stay at this beautiful place. We really enjoyed our time here! Thank you for the hospitality and the friendliness. It was fantastic!

We stayed a week and did not want to leave The house is light, inviting, has nice furniture and beautiful decorations and made us feel right at home and not at all as a rental house. The birds and larger animals came to drink from tboth the large waterhole as from the private one. We swa waterbuck, impala, the most stunning birds and of course your wharthogs. We were visited by a large elephant walking around the house and were able to see him up close from the windows which was a real special experience. He did however take out some of your beautiful plants se we put them back in. The hyenas were our sunset-sounds. The seating areas are comfortable and the absolute quietness of the bush were exactly what we loved. You can relax and enjoy the bush on your own terms in this very special place. After many trips to South Africa, Umoja was one of the most excuisit and yet at the same time most affordable places we’ve ever been to so we have already booked again..

We spend a week and found it amazing. The verandah with the view of the dam was our favourite and we saw so many animals, impala, kudu, wharthogs and so many birds. We were even spoiled by sharing a sunset drink with an elephant hanging around in the garden. We had a great gamedrive with the ranger in the Kruger park, thank you for that tip, he definitely is the best! The staff was most great and so helpful and we enjoyed the 2 large pools. Did not use the spa, restaurant and tennis court, maybe next time. The place was perfect and our kids enjoyed it as well. They took a daily walk through your garden in search of the birds, chipmunks and looking at the butterflies. You have so many of them, they were eating from the bushes with the purple flowers. And of course your pool was their highlight of the day. I think we watered half the garden with them plunging in. In the evenings we saw the porcupine that you told us about, he was our daily visitor and indeed, he is huge but we saw several of them always walking through the garden to come for a drink from the birdbath. So funny. The house was all we had dreamed of and more and thank you Chantal for all your fantastic tips. We loved the sunset boat cruise. Umoja made our holiday truly memorable and your help and advice added to that. Thank you for that and we definitely hope to be able to visit again and hopefully next time my parents from Cape Town can join us.

Amazing stay at a wonderful villa with all the amenities you need. We were dining with the elephants wich was very exiting. We had a great safari in the Kruger. The staff was very kind and helpful. My 5 year old son was thrilled ... like his father

The house has such a homely an inviting feeling to it. Almost like our own. Loved the large kitchen and the bedrooms were large and comforable. Outside shower was nice as well. The dirt road is a bit bumpy but can be done with a regular car. we found that driving at 50/h is better then slow and did not find it a problem. Thank you for all the tips you gave us, had some great outings and the game drive you recommended was definitely worth while.

Wat 'n pragtige, amazing plekkie!! 'n Eerste ervaring om die natuurskoon te beleef vanuit 'n private swembad met 'n brandende vuurtje in die agtergrond en die naggeluide van t bos rondom ons. Dit was werklik spesiaal en hoop die geleenheid is weer daar om tijd hier te kan spandeer! Alles was ongelooflik en alles wat mens ndig het is hier! Dankie vir 'n heerlik ontspannende aandjie.

The quietness of the bush and the location are great. We would however, loved to have seen breakfast being served earlier then 7h since if you go to the Kruger that is too late. The swimming pool on the terrace was great and we enjoyed that in the evening coming back from the Kruger.

Thank you for everything we have really enjoyed our stay in the house.

After a stay at the Kruger National Park this place was so relaxing. What a fantastic beautiful and comfortable house. We have enjoyed all the animals, including the prolific birdlife around the house. Every night we had a visit from the porcupine. The bush is very dry, and the water of the dam is gone. Your little treas on the dam are barely surviving. Not for nothing we are all hoping for some rain for South Africa. The service from the staff was great as well. Thank you for the excellent stay.

A unique home in the heart of Africa. Thank you for the great stay here at Umoja. So close to the Kruger park for several safaris. Wildlife here on the premises are fabulous. We saw giraffe, three elephant, five wharthogs, three waterbuck, a porcupine as well as several impala. We enjoyed all of our visitors not to mention all of the fabulous birdwatching. All the way from Canada to the wonderful warmth here in Phalaborwa, South Africa: Thank you!

Dear Chantal, We had an absolutely lovely time at Umoja, Phalaborwa and the Kruger park. Our love for wildlife was fullfilled, from the terrace or at night from the couch in the living room. We saw the elephants, hyena's, leopard and of course the wharthogs with their offspring come to drink from the waterhole in the garden. Lots of birds flew up and down every day. We have made great trips that you can read about in our blog and we would love to come back some day soon.

Umoja- what a gem of a place! We have been so lucky to have seen such beautiful wildlife so close that we could almost touch!! From elephants next to the house to Mr Porcupine eating our fruit platter on the stoep and giving us a huge fright. The house is stunning - everything you need and more. The pool is a bonus and welcomed in the Phalaborwa heat. We will for sure be back - why would you want to go anywhere else!!? Thank you Chantal for being so lovely and so helpful!

A week in the Bush. We have enjoyed it thoroughly. Even in the extreme heat (41 degrees!) Great to have airco in the house so you can sleep. The house has all you can need. And the fast internet connection was an extra bonus. At night sitting outside, the game spot was a real added value since we saw : leopard, some wharthogs, waterbuck in the dam at a distance, hyena, hornbill and so much more. And that while hearing the lions at the Kruger fence roaring loud at night, luckily on the good side of the fence. Thank you for your hospitality.

What an amazing lodge, everything thought of, amazing views of the wildlife from the pool. The elephant was a bit of a surprise, not sure if he was too happy with us . Never been so close, thought he was going to come onto the patio. Kruger was amazing with Nandzana, saw 4 of the big 5 and lots more.

Had some lovely days. Great house with all you can ask for and more. Hyena's, elephants and porcupine in the garden.

Loved the place and wish we had known about this gem before. But now we do and we will most definitely come back again. Will have to stay longer next time.

Great house with mosquito netts over all the beds. Kitchen equiped with dishwasher and large oven and fridge. Good airco in every room. The bumpy road is not too comfortable and the costs of the laundry were too high but we understand that it is not by your choice, however would appreciate if you can check that. Saw the wharthogs in the garden, very funny.

We have really enjoyed our stay in the house and the visit to the Kruger park. It gave us from Sweden a completely different experience. It was fantastic!

I stayed here with my family and we absolutely loved it! Your house is very comfortable and cosy. We had a dip in the pool and it was amazing. We saw giraffes and gazelles walk past your house. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming and made us feel at home. We looked after your house during our stay and everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at your house. Everything was perfect, very comforable. The views from the decks were amazing. We saw wharthogs dining at the waterhole and heard hyena's howling in the night! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful place!

Dear family Settels, What a cosy home. Our boys wanted to stay longer, especially because of the pool. Seeing the porcupine was the highlight! Hopefully we will be able to come back one day.

Great accommodation in the bush that is excellent for making trips to the Kruger. We swam with the giraffes in the garden. The staff was professional and welcoming in everyway. Would recommend it.

Vacation of a lifetime! So beautiful, so much to see & wonderful accomodation. Don't want to leave and can't wait to come back. This East Tennesee girl & Georgia boy can't say enough wonderful things about this amazing place!

Thank you so much for the lovely home to stay in and the hospitality of the staff.Not enough time, wished for more, meaning a returntrip is the cure.Waterbucks and wharthogs at the waterhole, and wharthogs very close to the backdoor!No predator sightings but was pleased to hear the lions roar the first morning and felt it was good luck to start the day like this.thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home; very beautiful and welcoming indeed!

We rented the house to find it very large with private en-suite bathrooms and a fully equiped kitchen. Absolutely everything was there. The stone bbq and all the terraces were used by us to enjoy. Great lounge set! We heard the hyena's at night and saw zebra and impala in the garden and at the dam. It was a fabulous stay and we will most certainly be back!

We had a very relaxing stay in your beautiful house. It was a peaceful place to enjoy after travelling 1,5wk in the Kruger. We loved our stay!

We could not have asked for a better vacation. Everybody was amazing, very helpful and willing to help with anything we asked. Chantel was also very helpful from the booking of my vacation to her making sure we have arrived and are comfortable. thank you for speedy resonses, for everything I was asking and all the information you put together for me.

Thank you for a lovely stay

Very peaceful, very restful. A very different experience with fantastic service. Will definitely be recommended. Had a lovely stay.

It is only the first day yet it has proven to be fairly eventful. The pool acted as a good catalyst for some good family time. Accompanied by a braai the first day proved to be exciting. Haven't felt like this for a while!

Beautiful villa - felt at home right away A bit of a drive through the bush, but it is so quiet and secluded therefore. The African sounds like the roaring of the lions and the hyena and to see the animals at the waterhole. We felt right at home at your beautiful house. And thank you for all the tips you gave us beforehand for the rest of the trip. Thanks to the staff as well.

a birders paradise as well. We didn't even have to go the Kruger to see the animals, because they came right up to the house. We saw the giraffe, the hyena and lots of birds and of course the impala and wharthog. But we also enjoyed all the beautiful birds around the house, at true birders paradise.

True Africa If you want to experience the true African feeling this is the place to be. We have seen the giraf, the whartogs, the porcupine, and so many birds. We just sat back in our chair and enjoyed the view. You can even see the Kruger park. all that and our own swimming pool, the kids loved it. They say it is winter but it didn't feel like that to us! Your house is lovely and the mosquito nets were a plus. We have stayed 5 days, too short!

Thank you for a lovely stay. Very restful and peaceful. We will definitely be recommending you and hope to be back in the future.

Wow... Wow we had a great holiday here at your house and at Silonque. Every day sun, nice temperatures, the Kruger next door. We heard the lions roar at night and the jackal (we thought it was the hyena but Jackson told us that it was the jackal). What more can you ask for. Thanks to the staff for their great hospitality.

A stunning place in Africa what a stunning place do you have here, with all the luxuries. A top location to really relax. You have made us feel more than welcome. We spotted animals, did game drives, had a romantic boat trip on the olifantsriver and saw the Blyde Canyon. What great memories. Thank you and we will come back!

Thank you so much for your hospitality. It was a huge, wonderful unbelievable stay in Umoja. Thanks a lot for organising the two safaris, specially the one with Craig (fantastic choice). Thank you for all!

Thank you for the wonderful stay at this beautiful lodge. We really enjoyed our time we spent here!!!. Thank you for the hospitality and friendliness. We will definitely recommend this place. Family Seidler, germany

what a fantastic place in the bush. we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our family. The accommodation, the hospitality. And great to just be able to pop over to the Kruger Park. The accommodation was more than perfect with all you can ask for. The pictures we posted on Facebook received so many feedbacks so your place has gone viral. On our way to the next spot in South Africa now. Thank you and the staff for the excellent stay. Nico, Nathaly, Larissa and Mitchell

Loved the viewpoint over the Kruger. and the private swimming pool in the terrace and we were blown away. We definitely picked a gem while booking. Not saying the other houses are bad and we didn't see them inside of course but location location location as they say so yours is absolutely sublime. The staff went all out on my birthday (thank you for your bottle of wine and the card!) , I mean, where else are you welcomed so friendly? It's hard to put into words, but this villa was probably the most luxurious place I've visited in all of SA. I will really REALLY recommend your house to everybody. A big thanks to you and to the staff , it was absolutely magical!

Great interior with large kitchen and 5 pits gas oven. We heard the lions at night in the KPN and the hyena visited the dam at night. Wish we could have spend more time here.

A magnificent house with all the comfort that you can dream of. To wake up and see the large Kudu's dinking on your doorstep, the impala and other animals is unforgetable. (and to top it off, we even saw a hyena!).

3 days your own bushvilla. Unfortunately we didn't see the elephants and only heard the hyena. But every morning the grey duiker and impala now and again while waking up is definitely nice. the last evening we were treated to a heard of waterbuck and impalas, a great goodbye. And don't forget that just before leaving we saw two male giraffe. Next time again!

Dear owners, We had such a fantastic time here at your beautiful house. Everything looks nice, well maintained and typical african. We liked the interior and decor. The pool is dry now but we heard the elephants searching for water last night. We have enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Maybe till next time and we will recommend your place to friends!

Thank you for all the good care; even from the Netherlands you still made sure that our stay was excellent. Your house is amazing, we have completely come to a stand-still and enjoyed ourselves enormously. From the impala to the waterbuck in the garden and even an elephant and a couple or wharthogs and all those beautiful birds that made our stay unforgetable. We have felt right at home and will certainly tell everybody about the house. Again thanks for everything.

Spend an incredibly nice time at Umoja Kruger. What a fantastic location. At night the elephants in the garden!

Where else do go get a visit from 4 elephants, waterbuck, wharthogs, grey duikers, impala, and hyena in the garden when they come to drink from the pond! We have seen them all. Unforgetable, especially the 4 elephants. We certainly hope to come back.

The villa was beyond our wildest expectations. We immediately got the "honeymoon feeling", it is such a quiet and luxurious place.

What a lovely place. We had a great night here and want to come back to stay longer.

We really enjoyed ourselves.

what a beautiful house. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Christmas here at the Kruger National Park. Fantastic hosts too. Hope to come back soon!

Thanks for letting us stay in your house. It was a very special unforgettable weekend with our son getting engaged here. Special family memories. You have a lovely bushhome and thanks for the champagne!

Only 2 nights here.. but we will definitely come back again. As extra bonus 8 elephants in the waterhole. Tophouse!

We spend some beautifull days at Umoja Kruger. The quiet of the bushveld, the luxury of the house. Highlight: the elephant at only 2 meters from our frontdoor! PS: we missed a small light above the braai.

What a wonderfull place to come back to each time. We enjoyed the animals, the beautifull bush with it's fantastic sounds and the great house. Would highly recommend it to anybody.

Stunning house with view over a waterhole where the elephants drink. Smaller game walks in your garden. Only 100 meters from the Kruger fence (have to drive to the official entrance however). The house is decorated beautifully and very comfortable. Staff superfriendly and attentive very professional (Dutch ) management. Don't just stay for a night but really enjoy the bush there for a couple of days. We will definitely come back again! A real gem

It is a great place to stay, wish we could have stayed longer!

A real bush experience. Wish we would have staid longer. Great house with private pool and a luxury interior. Felt like home. We loved the impala's, waterbuck and warthog in the garden and to top it off, an elephant in the dam. Didn't want to leave. Compliments to the hosts and the management/staff. They tend to every detail. Definitely recommend it.
