Special Note
Directors take: Umlani is a fantastic bush camp. Some of my greatest bush experiences have happened at this lodge like sleeping in the hide, tracking leopard and getting a tad close to Elephants!I would highly recommend it for those who are not looking for top end luxury as it is basic but still very comfortable. The best thing about the camp is you get that ultimate bush experience feeling by not having too many creature comforts and feeling part of the bush.
