Luxury Tents in Skukuza

Fabulous place. Beautiful tents placed on the shore of Sabie. The field is not fenced and therefore the animals circulate freely. We had elephants, hyenas and hypoopotami under the tent. In addition to birds and velvet monkey. . The tents are equipped with every comfort and the staff is very kind and very nice. We will certainly return .as soon as we can !

What an amazing place, to be able to stay in the middle of Kruger on a river bed, is an absolutely amazing experience! The game drives and bush walk were absolutely amazing and the guides were super knowledgeable and professional (the best safaris we had in all of Kruger). Food was really good as well and all the staff was super friendly and helpful! The glamping adds to the whole experience and then being able to dip in the pool in between game drives is surreal. Needless to say, we didn't want to leave.

Although it's a tent, it has all the hotel facilities inside, and the service is also very high standard. The three meals are also very good. I even ran into an antelope on the less than 100 meter road to dinner one day. Of course, if it's just these hardware, this Lodge won't leave a very prominent impression. Safari's tour guide will do everything possible to help you find animals. They share information about animal presence and will not rush back due to a 3-hour time limit. Before coming to Kruger, we had seen some animals in Chobe and on our first day here, we collected big five, which we were quite satisfied with. But the next morning Safari collected big five at once, and the luckiest thing was to see a group of five lions, who were located on the border of their private territory. I sincerely recommend the highly cost-effective Umkumbe bush lodge, and I believe I will always remember the beautiful memories here.

This was the only accomodation I could find last minute in Lower Sabie and had low expectations but it was actually cute and very comfortable with parking space right next to tent, comfortable beds, ac, large fridge and a great campsite environment around. We saw more interesting animals here than Skukuza. Menzie, the young man who maintains the tents is lovely. No bugs in September, no crime.
