The lodge sleeps a maximum of 20 guests in 10 chalets or rooms, most of which sporting a small veranda with camping chairs and with views of the river, while others have views of a small plains area with a watering hole. Accommodation is comfortable and suitable for those looking for a value for money option in the Sabi Sand. All rooms are en-suite and airconditioned. Some rooms are set up to allow families or small parties of three friends with separate but connected rooms. Umkumbe has three Standard and seven Superior rooms, with the latter larger with outdoor en-suite showers.
Join us for 2 nights at one of the most exciting new offerings in the iconic Kruger National Park – in fact, in the whole of South Africa – is the Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge. This unique concept perfectly combines Africa’s most breath-taking natural splendour with exquisite luxury aboard a newly refurbished train. Permanently stationed on the historical Selati Bridge high above the Sabie River at Skukuza Rest Camp, the Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge now offers the most unique accommodation anyone could imagine. What is more, this re-envisioned train pays homage to the first guests who explored the park by train nearly a century ago since it is positioned in the exact spot where that historical train would park overnight. Whether you’re in search of a one-of-a-kind adventure, an engrossing break or to simply immerse yourself in the finest of luxuries, Kruger Shalati will take you on a special, most extraordinary journey. The lodge, with its 31 rooms, consisting of 24 carriage rooms and 7 Bridge House rooms, all provide a most original experience, tailor-made to enjoy utter comfort in an awesome way.
Experience an exceptional four days of safari at Arathusa Safari Lodge in the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve, the pristine wilderness sanctuary inside the Greater Kruger conservation area.

Back at the lodge, you will be spoiled with hearty breakfasts and mouth-watering buffet lunches on the timber deck and outstanding three-course dinners around a blazing fire in the outdoor boma.
Lukimbi Safari Lodge offers classic suites that brings nature right onto your doorstep with high windows, a well-appointed bathroom overlooking the trees and river, and your own private deck extending from your lounge. Feel the luxury of a spacious bath, inside and outside shower, with air-conditioning, an overhead fan, safe, romantic gauzy mosquito nets, tea and coffee facilities and a mini bar. Even with children sharing the room, there is enough space for everyone. Lukimbi Safari Lodge prides itself on unrivalled service, but you can enjoy even more privacy and additional space in the ultra-luxurious King Cheetah and Giant Eagle Owl suites.
