Your safari house is located in the centre of the Timbavati Game Reserve and is basic but cosy. Inform your loved ones back home that you will be in sync with the elephants rather than your Instagram feed, as guests will have limited access to WiFi and cell phones. For those who truly want to witness nature, ascend the Umlani Treehouse staircase. It's just you and the shrub up in the squirmy branches. Stay for a few hours while enjoying cold beverages, cosy pillows, and warm blankets within reach, or stay the entire night with elephants snorting beneath you. Gaze upon an infinite number of treetops and quickly fall in love with this place.

Umlani Bush Camp offers eight thatched traditional African huts for guests to stay in in addition to the Treehouse. Three of them can accommodate four guests each, while one can accommodate three. You'll see that the traditional huts, which are modelled after the Shangaan tribe from the area, fit in well with the surroundings. The en-suite amenities in each hut include an outdoor shower (there's nothing better than a morning shower outside), mosquito netting, cold, soft sheets, bathroom supplies, insect repellent and bottled water. The main part of the camp has power outlets for each accommodation, but there is very little energy used there. At night, oil lamps and candlelight provide the only lighting for the camp.

As the sun sets, wildlife awakens, making an afternoon journey a sensory experience to remember. Allow the staff to spoil you with another indulgence that will fit your needs after the drive: one of their acclaimed meals.

Children of all ages are welcome at Umlani Bushcamp. Children younger than twelve years pay 50% of the adult rate. Please note that children younger than twelve may not participate in all safari activities.
