An oasis in the country
Tunde Dayo, United Kingdom
24 December 2011
Although we only stayed for two nights and did not get to fully enjoy the facilities, Umlilo Lodge was an exceptional place to stay. The logs and green plants made it a serene and calm setting. Laurence and his mom were very welcoming. We've decided to go back next year.

Our stay at Umlilo was great from start to finish, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The setting at the lodge is also great, and delicious breakfasts. A very good package and well priced too.

Great place. The pictures do not do the lodge justice. It's like staying in the middle of a jungle and there's a hippo hot spot just outside the lodge. Highly recommended.
