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.

African Travel Consultants delivered on their promise. Once I arrived in Cape Town, I never had to contact him as everything was in place. We highly recommend ATC!

The lodge itself is incredibly luxurious, rooms were very tidy, bed was comfortable and the front balcony with the pool is lovely touch. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was simply outstanding and consisted of a buffet breakfast and lunch, and lovely dinner out on the deck.
The lodge itself is situated within a private concession of Kruger National Park which is densely populated with animals. The guides know their way around like the back of their hands and we were fortunate enough to see all of the big 5 (and even wild dogs). The highlight had to be seeing a leopard drag an impala up a tree - a once in a lifetime experience which wouldn't have been possible without our fantastic guide, Connor

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.
