Overview

You can experience the real magic of Africa at Umlani Bush Camp, a beautifully designed eco lodge in the pristine wilderness of the central Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger National Park had been removed to allow for wildlife migration in what became known as the Greater Kruger National Park. The bush camp is both off the grid and the beaten tourist track, offering intimate wildlife encounters, award-winning meals and a chance to reconnect with unspoilt nature. Umlani was founded in 1989 by Marco and Marie-Louise Schiess who created a true African adventure in a camp built from natural materials in a traditional African style that blends in with the environment.
