Amazing experience staying at Umlani in the middle of the bush. The rooms are rustic, but in good condition and in a nice typical African style. The food was good and tasty, we liked it to be seated with the other guests as it was a nice way to get to know each other quickly as you spend quite some time together (during the game drives). The animals are of course the highlight, it’s just amazing to see so many different species and being so close to the action. The rangers are exceptional, always on the look out to find the most animals. The other staff was also super friendly, all so passionate and lovely. We also had the opportunity to spent one night in their treehouse, which was absolutely amazing and a once in a lifetime opportunity. We’d absolutely come back and recommend this camp!

we had an amazing time at Umlani. we felt extremely cuddled by the staff, ranger, tracker and general manager.
our experience was 10 out of 10. game drives were amazing, we saw so many animals. we also went to the tree house (part of the lodge), and that was really the highlight of our staying.
the lodge had all comforts and the staff is really attentive. food was great as well!

We loved our time at this bush camp! The food was excellent and I think lunches were some of my favorites of our whole trip. The game drives were amazing - they can drive off of the roads since is a nature reserve, which is a huge positive for staying here when compared to inside Kruger. I know we’re going to keep talking about this stay for years to come and would love to stay here again in the future!
Only thing I would recommend is a bathroom by the dining area instead of needing to go back to your room - which when dark, you need someone to escort you.

Perfect balance of rustic and comfort (hot water and a comfy bed; minimal wifi/electricity). Minimal footprint - all solar powered! And the staff! we felt so welcomed the entire time.
You’re camping in the bush, so there are insects around, especially at night. But with some repellant on your ankles, a mosquito net over the bed, and an acceptance that you’re in their territory - you’ll be just fine.
5.0
Everything it is a wonderful place in the bush and the staff make you feel like family . Elvis wonderful guide Susan Johan and every one else . Great sightings go out of their way to show you the animals.
Don't hesitate book this place was in a completely different league to our place before . Tree house go in day ideally have the elephants .met Marco the owner and his ethos in running the camp is so in tune with our eco standards.
Hammock was set too high and place more soft sand below incase you fall out .

4.5
Everyone in the staff was very friendly and helpful, making sure that everything was always right. The resort's location was calm, serene and peaceful making you feel part of the bush. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the game drives with our kids, 4 and 7, and had a great time. Look forward to visiting again!
Even though cooked very nicely and tasty, I would have like to have more food variety.
5.0
A fantastic bush experience. Excellent, well informed guides and staff, and abundant wildlife: game, birds, insects, flowers, trees and grasses. Accommodation was extremely comfortable while still retaining a connection with the wild; reed walls and outdoor showers. Great food and hospitality.
Nothing.
