Renown videographers and photographers Shannon Benson (aka Shannon Wild) and Russell MacLaughlin have based themselves at Umkumbe Safari Lodge for the next few days. We’re pretty sure Mauritz, Marius, Nicki and Bradley will ensure they get the opportunity to photograph the big cats of Sabi Sand. But, in the meantime, Shannon has put together a collection of lodge images which provide a fantastic visual walk through Umkumbe Safari Lodge accommodation.
The focus at the lodge is of the view of the seasonal Sand River, and for obvious reasons. On a daily basis guests are treated to sightings of various animals grazing in the riverbed. The swimming pool overlooks the river and is a highlight for guests.
The lodge sleeps a maximum of 24 guests in 10 chalets/rooms. Most of the chalets have a small verandah with camping chairs, and with views of the Sand River, however one of the chalets has a view of the plains out to the side of the lodge. Umkumbe is flexible when it comes to large groups and families travelling together. There are Superior rooms with inter-leading doors and standard rooms which are either single or doubles. The Superior rooms are larger and also have outdoor en-suite showers.
The accommodation is clean, comfortable and suitable for guests seeking an affordable option in a leading private reserve.
Rates are from R 2895, 00 per person per night sharing. Rates include all meals, accommodation, game walks & drives, teas & coffees.
