Umlani Bushcamp

The camp, staff, food and safari experience were excellent, perfect for a family adventure. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great, the guides knowledgeable and put in extra effort to make sure we had a good time. Having animals wandering through the camp added to the experience. Excellent value for a trip like this.

Well wow. We cannot wait to return. What makes this place amazing isthe staff, they went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty. Our room was impeccably cleaned every day twice a day - to the point where even though we had an outdoor bathroom I didn't see one bug. I didn't even get a mozzie bite. The food was sensational - the cooks are very talented. The food ranged from very authentic south african - we ate impala one night, to traditional fish and potatoes. Everything was delicious and we always had lots of options (you can give dietaries upon your arrival). Breakfast was a real highlight for me. Having gorged on the fresh fruit and yoghurt in the morning, they then came to ask us what we wanted for 'hot breakfast.' Eggs, toast, pancakes..... you will never be hungry here! The amenities are lovely. The outdoor shower is divine and just what you need after a hot game drive. So beautiful. The beds are very comfy - but the most beautiful room is the treehouse - do not miss staying one night in the magical treehouse, whcih you can stay a night in. We had the pleasure of 12 elephants joining us at midnight. The game drives are so well orgnaised and the staff, with some having been there for over 16 years, are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Sundowners overlooking th watering holes, or whatever beautiful location they choose will be a memory we never forget. Should you have a quite game drive one day, you won't have a quiet day as there is plenty of wildlife around the camp - in the camp you can get beautiful Nyala and other antelope, as well as monkeys and within view at the watering hole you can see hyena, zebra, elephant, honey badgers and likely much more.... Thank you Umlani for a magical trip and we cannot wait to come back!!! ＜3
