A very special hotel with an extraordinary design based around a central walkway system which wound around a number of tropical trees/palms. Very welcoming and attentive hosts who go the extra mile. Bedrooms have all normal facilities but we found that due to the use of dark woods for furniture ,ceilings and doors and the limited lighting in our bedroom... More

The Umlilo lodge hosts were such friendly people who made us feel at home. We stayed at Umlilo during our 3-days Safari, and the service and rooms Umlilo offers are of a very high standard.

I LOVED the Umlilo Lodge. The family run lodge feels like a Balinese paradise with it's dark wood and running stream. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. There are only 9 units so it is quiet and very peaceful. There's even a pool. It was my favorite place that I stayed in while in S. Africa for 2 1/2... More
