Umlani Bushcamp

Umlani Bushcamp, a rustic yet exclusive lodge, accommodates only 16 guests in cosy en-suite reed and thatch rondavels. Early morning and evening game drives are in open four wheel drive vehicles accompanied by experienced rangers and trackers. A traversing area of more than 10,000 ha with over 40 mammal and 350 bird species makes for an exceptional wild life experience.

Umlani's traditional African reed and thatch huts will not only provide you with all the comforts you need, but will also provide you with an authentic experience of local tribal (Shangaan) architecture and style, which blends in naturally with the environment.

Each hut has en-suite facilities including an open-air bush shower fuelled by wood fires. The hut is comfortably fitted with white mosquito nets, crisp white linen and towels as well as with standard bathroom amenities, bottled water (although the tap water is perfectly safe to drink) and insect repellent.

Umlani's philosophy of simplistic luxury and 'getting back to nature' is enhanced by the romance of operating without electricity, so each hut and the entire camp is lit by candle light and oil lamps, providing a warm and romantic atmosphere. This makes it the perfect venue for a honeymoon and even a very intimate small bush wedding.

Your ceremony will take place in the bush, followed by an exclusive game drive. The ranger and tracker will serve as witnesses. Umlani makes the whole event personalised, offering guests a true African adventure and long lasting memories.
