Umkhumbi Lodge
R22, 3960 Hluhluwe, South Africa – Great location - show map
The setting of the house is in a smallish reserve, surrounded by lush forest. We enjoyed the well equipped outdoor kitchen. It is roofed so we had no problems during a rain storm. The aircons in the units worked well in the heat wave and the communal pool was a life saver. Unit was clean with good beds. A bonus was a complementary guided night walk to search for bushbabies, scorpions and chameleons. The marked walks within the reserve was great for bird watching and seeing game on foot. Lots of birds and small game. Great staff made us feel more then welcome.
Located just a 10-minute drive outside the town of Hluhluwe, on the R22 to Sodwana, this lodge offers spacious rooms with a patio. Umkhumbi features an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and a tree top bar.
