The lodge features twelve rooms, which are all comfortable and in keeping with the lodges feel, each with air-conditioning alongside en-suite facilities. Family rooms are available to suit your families needs.

Dinners are prepared by Chef Meva who presents a well thought out menu to ensure that all his guests get a culinary experience to complement the surrounding African vicinity. Using only local, fresh produce, either from their vegetable and herb garden or from a local supplier alongside only the highest-quality cuts of meat including pork, chicken, beef, venison and variously available fish dishes.

Breakfast and lunch packed lunches provided on request which are useful if you are off on a days safari. Umkhumbi Lodge is certainly a family-friendly lodge, with children being catered for both in the rooms and in the child-friendly menus that Chef Meva prepares for your little ones.

The open-fronted 'lapa', homes the dining room and the tree-top bar and lounge where you will get to experience stunning sunsets as you sip your favourite tipple on the wooden decking.
