Umlani Bush Camp is an exclusive rustic game lodge accommodating only 16 guests in en suite reed and thatch rondavels. Early morning and evening game drives are in open four wheel drive vehicles accompanied by experienced rangers and trackers. The reserve is situated on the Western boundry of the Kruger National Park and lies between Umbabat and Manyeleti reserves.With a traversing area of more than 10000 hectares, over 40 mammal and 350 bird species, this is a wonderful wildlife experience. Umlani makes the whole event personalised and specialises in escorted walks into this unspoilt wilderness.
Timbavati, one of the oldest private nature reserves adjoining the Kruger National Park, was formed in the 1950's when Mr Peter Mostert urged his neighbours to pool their resources for mutual benefit and to benefit the wildlife in the area. Today the Timbavati is privately owned by 38 individual members and is governed by an elected committee and a constitution.Umlani Bushcamp works together in a wonderful, mutual way with other landowners and lodges in the Timbavati. This co-operation results in a huge traversing area of more than 10,000 ha of unspoilt wilderness area.
Imagine the unspoilt Africa of yesteryear in one of South Africa's great private reserves - the Timbavati - now part of the greater Kruger National Park. Take your walk on the wild side tracking the Big 5 on foot and experience the thrill of following big game off-road in open Land Rovers guided by our knowledgeable rangers. Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo are all there, along with cheetah, giraffe, zebra and many species of antelope.
Your comfortable en suite reed and thatch rondavel is calling but before falling into bed, take a steaming hot shower under a blanket of wondrous stars in your own open-air reeded bathroom. The magic is complete when the haunting sounds of nearby hyena and lion lull you to sleep.
