Umganu Lodge

Umganu Lodge is an idyllic retreat for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This beautiful five-bedroom Lodge sprawls over 10700 square feet and is open to the Kruger National Park and provides uninterrupted vistas of the magnificent Sabie River which is known for attracting an abundance of wildlife.

This beautiful air-conditioned lodge extends over 10700 square feet and can accommodate up to 12 guests in five spacious en-suite bedrooms, each one beautifully decorated in one of Africa’s big five animals ~ lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

Umganu means marula tree in Zulu and it is a tree used by African people. It is mainly used for traditional healing of mumps and the fruit is used to make the popular creamy liqueur called Amarula.

The home also features a separate room with its own private bathroom and kitchen which can be used as a pilot room or a nanny’s room.

The open-plan living area is stylishly decorated with high volume ceilings, beautiful polished cement floors and offers WiFi throughout. The spacious lounge has a television along with full satellite television (DSTV), a beautiful stocked bar area and various board games for those feeling a little competitive. For those wanting a little peace and quiet, you can head upstairs and relax in the snug lounge or enjoy the sights from the outside viewing deck area.

The living area opens up to a covered patio area with its own bar area. The lodge also has a private heated plunge pool for the master suite and one public heated pool. For those wanting to have a relaxing evening around a roaring fire, you can enjoy our beautiful sunken boma area. For those that enjoy the night sky, you can make use of the telescope and admire the beauty overhead.

Due to Umganu being a family destination, it has a perimeter fence which is electrified to ensure that the animals do not roam into the lodge.

If you are looking for an exclusive private safari or a one of a kind family getaway, Umganu Lodge is definitely the place to be, right in the beating heart of Mother Africa.
