I stayed over at Umkhumbi with my family and the location and food were excellent. However there is no closet space an some racial tendency in their restaurant. If you are not white, expect to be served last. My family on each occassion had to sit and wait for the family who was white to order and be served their... More

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Umkhumbi Lodge and I can say wholeheartedly that this place is something special. You can have all the big reserves with the 5* luxury or you can come here and feel like you just belong. Umkhumbi is a family run property and this is apparent from the moment you arrive.Anton and his... More

I am lucky enough to have visited some amazing places in this world - but there is something really special about Umkhumbi Lodge! It is not the most luxurious hotel in the world, nor does it need to be because this is not about staying in luxury this is like visiting friends and family who care about you and you... More

The response and service we received was friendly, welcoming and provided us with the sense that we were dealing with an owner who takes pride in his business. Anton set up a two week adventure for my husband... More

Looking forward to my... More

We stayed here a couple of nights on a birding trip. The grounds themselves were great for birding, with several well-maintained trails. The rooms are in individual cottages, new and clean. Power was a bit on-and-off during our stay but never a bother. Very good food in the dining room and a nice bar with cold beer and friendly hosts.... More
