Great stay at Umlani!!
We spent 3 days here during the Xmas vacation.Saw the big 5 plus cheetah ( she was passing thru Timbavati to Kruger) and our tracker and ranger were great. We did a walking safari and tried to find the little 5( this is our 3rd safari after Botswana and Kenya).Helen,Dell and Tanya made us feel at home.The staff were friendly and the food was good. My husband even tried the Mopane worms! Dell prepared the Xmas dinner.It was a bit strange for us celebrating Xmas when it's 30 degrees.We'r ... more

Highly recommended.
A lovely experience and a great first trip for my 10 year old grandson. With the exception of electricity, there is nothing that this camp lacks. Food was exceptional. We stayed at two other camps at twice the price during this trip and the food was nowhere near this level. Great hospitality. Highly recommended.

3 nights at Umlani
We had the most fantastic 3 night stay at Umlani and I would definitely go there again. The food is delicious and wholesome and the rooms are at once rustic (I loved not having electricity) and luxurious. We were lucky enough to see all the big five as well as cheetahs and hyena. On leaving Umlani we received news that a good friends 8yr old daughter had been attacked by a hyena whilst sitting around the campfire in the Kalahari. Just a word of caution to you in an unfenced camp to not ... more

Description
Umlani Bush Camp is an exclusive rustic lodge accommodating only 16 guests in en suite reed and thatch rondavels. Early morning and evening game drives are in open four wheel drive vehicles accompanied by experienced rangers and trackers. With a traversing area of more than 10000 hectares, over 40 mammal and 350 bird species, this is a wonderful wildlife experience. Umlani makes the whole event personalised and specialises in guided walks into this unspoilt wilderness. Take your walk on the wildside tracking the Big 5 on foot and experience the thrill of following big game off-road in open Landrovers guided by our knowledgeable rangers. Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo are all there along with cheetah, giraffe, zebra and many species of antelope. Walks, day and night drives give you the complete wildlife experience. You’ll become involved with game big and small, the prolific birdlife and be fascinated by the diverse tress, flora and fauna. Enjoy a spectacular sunrise deep in the bush before returning to the camp for a hearty breakfast. Spend the heat of the day with a cool box of refreshments at one of our hides watching birds swoop down to the water and mammals materialising out of the bush. Or maybe laze in hammocks around our splash pool sipping iced drinks. During your evening drive, watch the white light of the moon take over from the flame-coloured sun while enjoying sundowners surrounded by the unique sounds of the African wilderness. At the end of your spotlighted night drive return to the welcoming comfort of Umlani, a bush camp in the tradition of old Africa, with the romantic glow of paraffin lamps to light your way. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the convivial bar overlooking the Nshlaralumi river course or around a roaring fire in the boma and watch our chef put the finishing touches to the dinner he has prepared on an open fire. The aromas will make your mouth water and you’ll be more than ready for a candlelit dinner accompanied by fine South African wines, while swopping stories and sightings with your fellow adventurers. Your comfortable en suite reed and thatch rondavel is calling but before falling into bed, take a steaming hot shower under a blanket of wondrous stars in your own open-air reeded bathroom. The magic is complete when the haunting sounds of nearby hyena and lion lull you to sleep.
