It is a mere 25 minutes drive on the N6 road to the city for shopping, theatre entertainment, and visits to the many attractions offered by the city, or relaxation on its sandy beaches. A tarred road from the N6 leads the visitor straight to the entrance of the wildlife-rich reserve. The Reserve received its name from the Umpongo River, which features prominently in Xhosa history.

A combination of European style and African decorations at the lodge ensures that the deluxe suites provide the perfect setting for relaxation after a day of safari. En-suite bathrooms, a fireplace, and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities from the comfort of the stylish suites make for an unforgettable stay.

Guests staying at the lodge are invited to enjoy the delightful evenings in the Huberta Restaurant, which is decorated with undertones of the Xhosa culture. Visitors are welcome to experience the African pot-roast in the Buffalo Lapa with its crackling fire under the open evening sky.
