Location & Setting
The lodge lies in a wooded savanna in the wilderness of Timbavati Private Game Reserve, which forms part of the internationally renowned Kruger National Park, South Africa's premier safari destination. Reaching Umlani requires a flight to Eastgate Airport near Hoedspruit and, from there, a transfer of just over an hour.
Rooms
Umlani can accommodate sixteen guests in eight reed and thatched huts. Some huts can sleep up to four people, which makes it ideal for a family safari in South Africa. All huts are en suite with mosquito nets and crisp white linens. Each hut is equipped with indoor and outdoor showers fueled by wood fires.
Facilities
Delicious meals are served in the boma around a log fire. Guests can unwind in the swimming pool or laze around in the double hammocks surrounding the pool. The camp also provides a bush bar where you can enjoy your favorite drink or enjoy it on the deck overlooking the river bed. Guests will spot numerous animals arriving at the waterhole to quench their thirst.
