Umkumbe Bush Lodge | Sabi Sand Nature Reserve
Nestled near the seasonal Sand River, in a beautiful forested thicket, Umkumbe Bush Lodge is situated in one of the most sought after safari destinations in Southern Africa. This brand new family-run lodge is located in the wildlife rich Sabie Game Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger and shares unfenced borders with famed Kruger National Park.
This beautifully designed bush lodge can accommodate up to 24 guests in 10 tented style suites, 4 of which are standard, 1 luxury and 5 superior. Each suite has its own private deck/verandah and is fully equipped for a comfortable safari retreat.
Built around a weeping boer-bean, 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 can wildlife watch, relax and take in the wilderness surrounds in between activities and meals.
Reflecting the beauty of the African bushveld, Umkumbe showcases elegant interiors, from locally handwoven baskets and wooden carvings to delicately dried foliage finishes.
Experience an authentic South African safari and take time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern living. Here in the heart of the wild you can reconnect with nature at Umkumbe Bush Lodge.

Trackers skilfully read the signs in nature and work with the guide to locate an array of life, from prowling big cats to boisterous buffalo herds.
There are two daily game drives per day, timed to take advantage of the when the bushveld is most active and alive. Starting with a sunrise safari in the early morning, which will include a quick coffee stop in a scenic location.
The afternoon drive departs when the day starts to cool, leaving ample time to find sightings for that iconic golden hour light.
The last moments of sunset can be taken in whilst enjoying an authentic African sundowners stop, what will it be?...A classic G&T, a crisp Savanna or a fine South African wine, take a peek in the Umkumbe bar and order your safari tipple prior to game drive departure.
The afternoon drive continues a little after dark, with a handy spotlight helping to reveal the nocturnal wildlife starting to stir.
Game drive times may vary according to seasons, game activity and spontaneous safaris may also go out in response to animal activity near the lodge. All game drives take place in 4 x 4 Land Cruisers which are open, roofless and all-terrain, ideally designed to maximise the game-viewing experience.
