- Tyron and I chatted about the Lodge and what makes it so special for families, and guests both local and international. To quote from their website: "Umkumbe Safari Lodge Riverside is an owner-managed and run Kruger safari lodge. The Umkumbe team consistently ensures guests enjoy a personal, rustic and real safari experience. The lodge consists of ten chalets/rooms with most overlooking the seasonal Sand River. Umkumbe offers a quintessential African safari experience with iconic Kruger safari lodge accommodation.
Guests regularly see elephants, hippos, buffalo and antelope grazing in the river bed. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, lounge, bar and dining area and the traditional boma, where guests will be served delicious and hearty South African meals.
The reserve is home to the ‘big five’ (elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo), as well as cheetah, wild dog and hundreds of other species of animals, birds and plants indigenous to the area". But as Tyron says, it is not only about the Big 5, the immersive of being there will enable guests to see many of the smaller species.
