Umkumbe is all about river views, so sit back and watch wildlife amble past from the lounge, your terrace or the pool! Accommodation is comfortable and service congenial at this relaxed gem.

Catering to just 20 guests, experience Umkumbe’s relaxed charm and personal service in the heart of renowned Sabi Sands. The focal point of the lodge is very much the Sand River, which being seasonal, is often dry and therefore used as a thoroughfare for passing wildlife. Always have your binoculars and cameras to hand for those just in case moments! The raised infinity pool takes advantage of these views, as does most of the accommodation, although some chalets look out over an active waterhole.
