South Africa Sun Destinations: New Sabi Sand Camp, Umkumbe Bush Lodge & Botswana VAT Increase

New Sabi Sand Camp | 2022 SADC Special Extended | Botswana VAT Increase

Although Covid has had a devastating effect on the tourism sector we have managed to keep our heads up and remain positive.

Our team has stood strong and managed to keep the home fires burning and we haven’t stood back for a minute, our hard work has paid off!

Sun Destinations is excited to announce the launch of a brand new South Africa Camp into our portfolio. Umkumbe Bush Lodge is situated in the Southern Sabi Sand Wildtuin now known as the Sabie Game Reserve.

Umkumbe Bush Lodge shares the same traverse area with the stunning and extremely popular Umkumbe Safari Lodge which will enable these two gems to host larger groups and events like Bush Weddings.

We can’t wait for your guests to come and experience this unique and authentic tented camp.

UMKUMBE BUSH LODGE

Nestled near the seasonal Sand River, in a beautiful forested thicket, this brand new family-run lodge is located in the iconic and wildlife rich Sabie Game Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger and shares unfenced borders with famed Kruger National Park.

This uniquely designed bush lodge can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 tented style suites. Elevated on wooden decks, each suite has it’s own private balcony and is fully equipped for a comfortable bushveld glamping retreat.

Built around a weeping Boer-bean, the main lodge overlooks a variety of habitats - a winding drainage line leading to the seasonal Sand River, a forested thicket and a section of open savanna. Guests can wildlife watch, relax and take in the wilderness surrounds in between activities and meals.

Now onto the safari experience - Sharing their wealth of knowledge with you, your guide can teach you all about life in the WILD, everything from the intricate life cycles of dung beetles, to an array of fascinating big-five facts. Trackers skilfully read the signs in nature and work with the guide to locate a variety of life, from prowling big cats to boisterous buffalo herds.

Experience an authentic South African safari and take time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern living. Here in the heart of the wild you can reconnect with nature at Umkumbe Bush Lodge.
