Tranquility itself, a quiet bush escape.

Lovely time, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone who wants a bush break.

Disappointed.

The staff are friendly but offer no hospitality. We got the feeling that the lodge was about to collapse.

Goeie ligging maar net jammer die restaurant is nie meer in werking nie.

Baie rustig en kalm tussen die fauna en flora. Maar nie veel om te doen nie. Moet ente ver ry waar besienswaardighede is. Restaurant en nagritte soos op brosjure nie meer in werking nie.

Good location but just a pity the restaurant is no longer in operation.

Very peaceful and calm among the fauna and flora. But not much to do. Have to drive some distance where attractions are. Restaurant and night rides as per brochure no longer in operation.

Heerlike bosverblyf.

Ons het heerlik gebly, die kamers is pragtig en het lugverkoeling. Ons het 'n buitekombuis gehad wat lekker is, jy maak kos en eet in die natuur. Die nagstap was baie lekker en die reptiele was ook baie mooi om te sien. Almal was baie gasvry en ons sal weer daar oorslaap.

Lovely forest stay.

We had a wonderful stay, the rooms are beautiful and have air conditioning. We had an outdoor kitchen which is nice, you cook and eat in nature. The night walk was very nice and the reptiles were also very nice to see. Everyone was very hospitable and we will stay there again.

Pleasantly surprised! We had a wonderful stay at Umkhumbi Lodge. Everyone was very helpful and kind. Lovely private fire/braai area.

We had a super relaxing time away with our two grown-up kids. Comfortable and clean. We loved the braai area in the bush which was private. Outdoor kitchen is very nice too. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially Tracy. The bar area was a very pleasant surprise. We had breakfast on our departure at Delish restaurant which was so close and had good food.

Lekkerste rus in die rustige stil natuur- duikertjies loop oral rond.

Emma en haar man is fantasties gasvry. Jou voertuig word veilig by hulle huis gehou, om te voorkom dat die natuur versteur word. Hulle dra al jou bagasie na jou huisie. Hulle voorsien ook inligting oor die omgewing se besienswaardighede en reël dat jy die Hluluwe reservaat besoek, indien jy verkies.

Best rest in the peaceful quiet nature- little divers walk around everywhere.

Emma and her husband are fantastically hospitable. Your vehicle is kept safely at their home, to prevent nature from being disturbed. They carry all your luggage to your cottage. They also provide information about the area's attractions and arrange for you to visit the Hluluwe reserve, if you prefer.

Kamer was luuks, skoon en smaakvol.

Rustige omgewing met baie gewillige hande vir bagasie. Beslis 'n nuwe oorslaapgunsteling vir ons.

Room was luxurious, clean and tasteful.

Quiet environment with many willing hands for luggage. Definitely a new sleepover favorite for us.

Weer was baie warm, maar ons het lekker gekuier en kos was baie goed.

Die kamers was goed toegerus en baie bly daar was lugversorging. Daar is net nie baie om te doen vir klein kinders nie, maar 'n mens rus lekker.

Weather was very hot, but we had a good time and food was very good.

The rooms were well equipped and very glad there was air conditioning. There is just not much to do for small children, but one rests well.

Outstanding, beautiful and friendly

We stayed 3 nights at Ukhumbi and they were fantastic. The food was excellent and the feel of the place was so friendly and relaxing. It was too short a stay. Thank you very much for such a great stay, I will recommend you to many friends.
