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.

Verified reviewexcellent

I can never understand why people would go to a large impersonal lodge when friendly lodges like this one exist. It is lovely to be made to feel like a friend or even one of the family. The staff are all friendly and nothing is too much trouble, Anton and Emma are perfect hosts and even their young son will do his best to answer your questions. As mentioned in another review Copper the dog loves making new friends and will follow you forever - well, as long as you scratch him behind the ear! I can't think of an evening when I didn't star gazing long into the night following the constellations as they tracked across the dark sky above me. I even faced my fears and held a large boa constrictor called fluffy, no one forced me to, and I'm so proud of myself! I am already planning my return!
