Established in 1989 by Marco and Marie-Louise Schiess, Umlani Bush Camp is a spectacular safari escape situated in the central part of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. In 1993, the removal of fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger facilitated wildlife migration, transforming this pristine wilderness into the renowned Greater Kruger National Park. The founders, Marco and Marie-Louise, aimed to embody their vision of an authentic African adventure within the camp's essence and experience. Their desire was for the camp to seamlessly integrate with the surroundings, leading to the construction of the entire bush camp using natural materials in a traditional African architectural style.
Offering lodgings in traditional African huts made of reed and thatch, along with an Eco Rondavel, each of the accommodations seamlessly blend into the natural surroundings while ensuring pure comfort. All accommodation choices feature en-suite facilities, including open-air bush showers for an exceptional stargazing experience. They are equipped with comfortable beds, pristine white linen, soft towels, mosquito netting, insect repellent, and standard bathroom amenities. Complimentary bottled water is provided, although the tap water is entirely safe to drink.
Umlani Bush Camp collaborates harmoniously with fellow land and lodge proprietors in the Timbavati Game Reserve of South Africa, providing guests access to an extensive sanctuary spanning over 10,000 hectares of pristine African wilderness. Umlani Bush Camp provides a diverse range of amenities to enhance the comfort and enjoyment of guests during their stay.
In addition to twice-daily game drive excursions, the camp offers a serene environment for relaxation and rejuvenation, immersed in the captivating natural beauty of the Lowveld. Umlani Bush Camp is celebrated for its exceptional rangers and trackers, who go beyond merely locating game. They also provide insightful introductions to the rich diversity of flora, fauna, bird life, and cultural heritage in the region ensuring a wealth of knowledge to hang onto long after you leave.

All of the staff, from reception to the chefs, the drivers and rangers were unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we’d an exceptional experience, including accommodating dietary needs. The bush walk and tree house stay were really special.

Fantastic game viewing. Leopards up trees devouring prey. Many prides of lions. Rhino. Elephants. Zebras. Warthogs. Etc. Wonderful hospitality including lovely little touches like cold towels after game drives and beautifully decorated dinner tables in basic rustic setting. Kind staff. Great bed.
