Full hotel facilities. A 6 star lodge. Our very best and varm recommendations - nothing to criticise or improve. By far the best safari lodge we ever have stayed in - we will return to this heaven on earth, and do hope it remains unchanged, especially the attitude of everyone in staff. More

I would return again and again. The entire staff answered questions, helped me learn some Tonga phrases (Twalumba nkapati, Member!) Dean's knowledge of the bush and genuine nature made each bush drive a learning adventure. I'm feeling quite lucky to have visited Bumi Hills. More

We were fortunate to have a room with a view to Lake Kariba. I had a spa treatment there, it was fantastic. A huge... More

We had the most glorious Christmas at Bumi Hills, the children were welcomed and catered for, the game drives were most excellent (thank you Dean) and we all had hours of fun in the very inviting pool. A truly great place with out of this world views. More

Bumi Hills cares about the surrounding wildlife - they're actively involved in anti-poaching and conservation. By visiting and staying there, you not only get 4 star luxury treatment in comfort, meals and activities (not to mention unparalleled beauty) but you also directly aid their work in conservation - you can't do any better than that. It's a win-win-win for everybody... More

Bumi Hills is a wonderful Safari location with every extravagance available. The chef was well trained, presenting gorgeous meals 3 times a day. The Safari experience was delightful with water locations and bush to explore. Infinity pool cooled, as did the AC in the room at night--what luxury in the bush! The view from the deck of our room presented... More
