“The location is absurd. This could not be topped. Wild elephants at the pool, very very nice breakfast and diverse dinner. Despite the size of the resort it felt very personal. The prive Safari was amazing. Price quality wise unmatched.
Never mind, book this.”
“What an unforgettable experience! The rooms have been turned into such comfortable spaces, with incredible views on the area. There is simply no way not to catch some live action. I'd forgotten that the rooms had bath tubs so that was an additional treat; I took a couple of baths, and watched life unfold for nearly an hour.
The rest of the facilities were top notch: from the restaurant to the cars that took us one on morning and afternoon drives. The meals were delicious and we got to try a variety of meats that we'd never tried before (Kudu, Warthog, etc).
What really made this stay extraordinary is the attention to each guest's comfort. We were assigned a couple of people that assisted us with our meals each and everyday (Sma, Polite), as well as a dedicated driver (Lisa) who really made our stay as comfortable as possible. Not to mention so many other people that really went above and beyond.
We would love to, and hope that we will be able to come back again.”
“Spectacular stay at Umkumbe! Reception by our guide Shannon who accompanied us on our morning and afternoon/evening game drive. Together with Ford (on the afternoon/evening drives), she managed to not only show us the big five up close and at length but also a Cheetah and other small mammals. We even got to enjoy a chameleon which Ford spotted with his ultra night vision. As Shannon would say : "It was awesome!!!" Also during the daytime Shannon was at our beck and call and even arranged a massage for me, which was given by Anna from Zimbabwe who has golden hands and I could feel she did her job with love. One of the best massages I ever had! The whole resort is perfect and we highly recommend it! We will miss the rollercoaster game drives with Shannon at the wheel. She is an expert driver, tracker and gives loads of pertinent information about fauna and flora. Thank you so much from Johan and Hilde!”
