Other facilities include a swimming pool, lounge, bar and dining area and the traditional boma, where hearty South African meals are served.
A 3-day safari into the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, with luxury lodging under canvas tenting at Umkumbe Bush Lodge, offers the ideal glamping opportunity.

The Umkumbe Bush Lodge sits comfortably under a canopy of indigenous trees in the southern reaches of the Sabi Sand. This luxury tented camp, the first of its kind in the reserve, provides all of the creature comforts of home, but with a luxurious twist.
A safari stay at Umkumbe Bush Lodge includes two daily game drives. The morning safari may include a scenic coffee stop, and the afternoon drive will include a classic safari sundowner and snacks.
The main lodge at Umkumbe overlooks a variety of habitats, including a winding drainage line leading to the seasonal Sand River, a forested thicket, and a section of open savanna. In between activities and meals, guests can observe wildlife, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings.
The stylish accommodation and spacious tented suites are all situated on private raised wooden decks nestled in nature and named after various indigenous trees found in the region. The beautifully designed bush lodge has 9 tented-style suites, four of which are standard, one luxury, and four superior. Each tented suite has its own private balcony and is fully equipped for a comfortable safari retreat.
