Umlani Bushcamp is a classic African safari camp nestled in the beautiful Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which is part of the renowned Greater Kruger National Park. The experience includes thrilling game drives, immersive bush walks, and delicious meals – all wrapped up in one great rate.

At Umlani, you’ll find charming traditional African reed and thatch huts, crafted with care using local Shangaan tribal architecture. Each hut features an en-suite bathroom with an open-air shower, cozy mosquito netting over the beds, and crisp white linens that invite restful nights. Candle lanterns add a warm glow during those magical evenings.

The knowledgeable rangers at Umlani lead daily game drives in open Land Rovers, ensuring guests get up close with the incredible wildlife. For those looking to explore more on foot, experienced trackers guide you on memorable bush walks.

Each evening, guests can unwind with pre-dinner drinks around the fire in the authentic boma, sharing stories and laughter. Dinner is then a special affair, served in a beautifully candlelit dining room or outdoors in the open riverbed, where tables are artfully arranged among flickering lanterns.

Getting there is convenient too! Nelspruit Airport is just a 2.5-hour drive away from Umlani Bushcamp, making it an easily accessible paradise for your African adventure.
