Luxury African Safari at Umkumbe Bush Lodge | Sabi Sands Big 5 Experience in South Africa

Welcome to Umkumbe Bush Lodge in the heart of the world-renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve, where luxury meets adventure! Join us on an unforgettable journey through South Africa’s premier safari destination. 🐘

We fell in love with traveling after we were both laid off from our tech jobs, and hope to inspire others to get out and see the world through our videos! In this video, we'll explore up-close wildlife encounters with the Big 5 🦁, stunning views from luxury safari lodges, authentic bush experiences - including morning and evening game drives, and unique insights into Sabi Sands which is adjacent to Kruger National Park. We'll also share highlights from our time at Umkumbe Bush Lodge, our luxury tented suite, South African meals, and our day to day on our African Safari adventure.

We took a quick 2-hour Airlink flight from Cape Town, landing at Skukuza Airport, with breathtaking views of Kruger National Park. Pro tip: Get a window seat—you might spot wildlife as you descend! 🦒✨

The team at Umkumbe Bush Lodge arranged our private airport transfer, and within 40 minutes, we arrived at the lodge, already spotting wildlife along the way. Umkumbe offers two lodges—the River Lodge and the Bush Lodge—with 10 luxurious tented suites. We stayed in the Leadwood Luxury Tent, complete with a comfy bed, mosquito net, en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower, and refreshing AC—a must during South Africa’s summer.

Each day includes two game drives, delicious meals, and relaxing downtime. The rate for our luxury tent was $310 USD per person per night, which covers accommodation, meals, game drives, and beverages like coffee and tea. Candlelit dinners by the campfire and impeccable service made the stay even more memorable.
