We’d like to take you on a virtual safari and show you the highlights of staying at Umkumbe Safari Lodge, an affordable lodge located on the banks of the Sand River in the premier Sabi Sand Game Reserve. We’re pretty sure these videos will jolt your memory back to your first safari in Africa. If you’ve never been on safari, then these videos should be enough to convince you to come and experience the untouched wonder of raw Africa.
The Sabi Sand is a huge drawcard for international visitors because of its abundance of big cats and the big five. Of course, the reserve also offers a plethora of colourful birdlife, small mammals and rare reptiles. The Sabi Sand is easy to get to and the roads are well-maintained for self-drive guests. With so much on offer, it’s no surprise that the Sabi Sand has made it to many a traveller’s bucket list.
Umkumbe is one of the more affordable lodges in the area but certainly doesn’t compromise on quality of game viewing. The seasonal Sand River flows in front of the lodge and huge breeding herds of elephant come to play at the water’s edge. The small splash pool on the wooden viewing deck overlooks the river and guests often sit in the pool and spot game.
Umkumbe Safari Lodge is an affordable peace of paradise in the Greater Kruger – get there!
