Umlani Bushcamp focuses on offering their guests the very best game viewing experiences that the Timbavati has to offer with its abundance of lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo.
Game viewing
Their knowledgeable guides, who will find you exhilarating game views while explaining to you details about the flora and fauna and heritage of the region, take guests out on two game drives per day. One game drive is early morning and the other late afternoon for a chance to experience the landscape’s colours change with a sundowner in hand.
After breakfast there is always a guide available to show visitors the Big 5 on foot with a walking safari. This eco-bush camp in the Timbavati offers superb birding opportunities for guests to see some of the over 300 species of the area. There is hide overlooking the waterhold and photographic equipment to hire for photography enthusiasts.
Hide Sleep-Out
Guests have the included option of spending one night at their stay in Umlani Bushcamp in a hide that is kitted for an evening underneath the stars. After dinner, guests are escorted to the hide by a guide and picked up the following morning before breakfast. The hide overlooks a dam where animals, from elephant to lion, come to drink and guests fall asleep listening to the sounds of the animals down below. Wake up with the sun rising over the African lowveld.Alternative Activities
Umlani Bushcamp is tucked away in the heart of the lowveld but close enough to town to take part in some activities outside of the Timbavati Game Reserve. Guests can venture out and see the Mpumalanga area from a different perspective with a one-hour microlight flight over the Klaserie Reserve, or with an early morning balloon safari.
At this eco-bush camp in the Timbavati there is also the option of going on a Ringetani village tour, which include an introduction to tribal dancing, tasting of traditional African food and visiting a traditional healer and shebeen.
The Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre and TSAU White Lion Research Centre are also situated nearby as well as the world-famous Hans Merensky golf course where guests can go and play on a unique course with resident giraffe, hippo and crocodile.
