Greenfire Game Lodge is a dramatically revamped ecotourism destination located in Balule Private Game Reserve. The 50 000-hectare reserve is one of the unfenced private reserves that fall within the Greater Kruger, which lies adjacent to the iconic Kruger National Park. Game roams freely between the two vast wilderness regions so you’re guaranteed incredible Big 5 wildlife sightings. The luxury safari lodge is best known for its striking contemporary architectural design, isolated location and magnificent views over the seasonally-dry Mohlabetsi River. No effort has been spared to deliver an exclusive safari experience where the ultra-chic facilities of a modern safari lodge blend seamlessly with its stunning natural surrounds.
Nkambeni Camp offers a wide variety of facilities to ensure that all our guests can enjoy an authentic African wilderness experience.
Tanda Tula, which means ‘to love the quiet’ celebrates the tempo, colours and flavours of modern-day Africa as inspired by the people and wildlife of the Greater Kruger National Park. You can explore this wildlife-rich region of the Timbavati at the intimate 12-tent Tanda Tula Safari Camp amongst large trees on the banks of the Nlharalumi river. Except for deep relaxation in African elegance, you will become aware of the romance of South Africa’s unique and abundant wildlife.
Umkumbe Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the seasonal Sand River, perfectly situated in one of the best big five game viewing destinations in Africa.
A five-day safari in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, with luxury lodging under canvas tents at Umkumbe Bush Lodge, provides the ideal glamping experience and enough time to completely rewind.
The Umkumbe Bush Lodge is nestled beneath a canopy of indigenous trees. This luxury tented camp, the reserve’s first of its kind, offers all of the creature comforts of home, but with a luxurious twist.
Two daily game drives are included in a safari stay at Umkumbe Bush Lodge. A scenic coffee stop may be included in the morning safari, and a classic safari sundowner and snacks may be included in the afternoon drive.
Accommodation
Umkumbe’s main lodge overlooks a patch of open savanna, a wooded thicket, and a winding drainage line that eventually empties into the seasonal Sand River. Visitors can explore the outdoors and look for games in their spare time between excursions and meals. Guests regularly see elephants, hippos, buffalo, and antelope grazing in the river bed.
Elegant tent suites with plenty of space are located in the middle of a forest on their own elevated wooden decks and are all named after trees native to the area. This luxurious lodge has nine suites, four of which are basic, one of which is luxury, and four of which are outstanding. Each luxury tent has a balcony and includes everything you need for a relaxing safari vacation.
A private sitting area on a raised wooden terrace, a tea/coffee station, a standing fan, air conditioning, a baggage stand, a hair dryer, a mosquito net, a safe, bathroom amenities, and the option to convert the beds from twin to double are all included in the suite.
The Superior Tented Suites are private, secluded rooms with a King bed, a sleeper sofa, and the option of an extra single bed for children. A shower in the backyard, a bath, and separate vanities for couples are also available. Two adults and up to three children can comfortably stay here.
The luxurious Leadwood Tent provides complete seclusion and includes a King bed and sofa bed. A separate soaking tub, his and her vanities, and an outside shower are also included. One child can live with his or her parents.
The regular tents are all stylish and spacious, with elevated wooden decks and natural settings among the trees. The room has a king-size bed that can be split into two twin beds and a bathroom with only a shower. Each tent can only accommodate two people.
Breakfast and lunch will be served alfresco at the main lodge, and supper will be served in the boma area around a blazing fire, depending on the weather.
