Umkumbe Safari Lodge - Sabi Sands Game Reserve
Umkumbe Safari Lodge in the southern part of Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, overlooking the sand river which makes it ideal for an incredible wildlife experience. Sabi Sands is known for being the most premier place to view Africa's big five, Umkumbe Safari Lodge is perfectly situated in one of the best Big Five game viewing destinations in Africa.
Viewing the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, and buffalo) is much easier at Umkumbe, as well as cheetah, wild dog and hundreds of other species of animals, birds, and plants indigenous to the area.
What makes an Umkumbe safari a memorable experience is that the owner is involved in managing the lodge and playing host to his guests, we recommend a minimum of three nights.
Guests regularly see elephants, hippos, buffalo, and antelope grazing in the river bed. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, lounge, bar and dining area and the traditional boma, where guests will be served delicious and hearty South African meals.
During the dry season, the vegetation is sparse and wildlife congregates around watering holes. During the wet season, the vegetation is dense and wildlife is more dispersed. At Umkumbe safari lodge, expect to see the Big Five and much more.

The entire staff works hard to ensure a great experience for their guests. Our suite was great, very clean and comfortable . The swing was cozy on the front deck! Enjoyed our meals and evenings in the bar. Thanks to all for a great time!

...moreThis was a great experience overall. The resort was nice and homely. Our ranger Kelsey and tracker Bennett were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions that we had. The game drives were exciting and the search for the leopard was one of the highlights of the trip. The rooms were spacious, and the food was almost unending. The only downside, and understandably so, was the inability to move from one room to another, after dark. While our sons were older and able to stay on their own, families with slightly younger children may have to stay in one chalet. Strongly recommend it!!

Incredible wildlife!
This was our third lodge to visit during our holiday, we can honestly say it was fantastic. We stayed in a spacious bungalow with outside shower. There are 2 safari drives every day and our guides really went above and beyond to find us all the animals we asked for 🙂 We took amazing wildlife shots as we got so close to lions and leopards, it was wonderful.
