If your family is searching for a getaway that feels personal, relaxed, and packed with memorable moments, Umngane Safaris is the place where everyone, from the smallest adventurer to the seasoned outdoorsman finds their happy place.
Set across two beautiful lodges in Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal, Umngane offers a private, exclusive escape where nature becomes the main storyteller.
What makes Umngane truly special is that it’s far more than a hunting destination. Here, days begin with fresh Bushveld air and end with warm family laughter around the fire. Whether you’re exploring the reserve on horseback, dipping into a spa session or chasing sunshine on a game drive, your time here becomes the kind of holiday the kids talk about long after you’ve gone home.
Umngane offers luxurious rooms.
One of the standout experiences is horseback riding, a peaceful, immersive way to embrace the outdoors. You’ll move through the bush quietly and naturally, becoming part of the landscape instead of just a visitor. It’s an unforgettable experience.
For those who enjoy time with a shotgun or rod, Umngane delivers in style. Wing shooting runs from April to June, offering some of Southern Africa’s best dove shooting. Fishing lovers have two exciting options: the thrill of chasing legendary tiger fish at Lake Jozini, or casting for yellowfish on the Vaal and Orange Rivers. Smallmouth yellows dart through the shallows while the elusive largemouth, the ‘golden bar’, demands patience, skill, and quiet triumph when finally landed.

But the heart of Umngane beats strongest in the activities designed for the whole family. Spend a morning on a game drive, spotting wildlife across the 3 000-acre reserve, or walking with a guide who reveals the smaller, magical secrets of the bush.
Adrenaline seekers can rev their way across the reserve on quad bike trails, while those who love precision can enjoy a session of target shooting under the supervision of a qualified range officer.
Not every day needs to be high-energy. Sometimes the best thing you can do is claim a pool lounger, grab a book, and enjoy the endless Bushveld view. Kids love the open space and freedom, while parents love the peace. And when it’s time to treat yourself, the spa offers relaxing, refreshing treatments that will melt away every trace of stress.
Whether you’re a family that loves adventure, downtime, wildlife, or wide-open skies, Umngane Safaris is a place where you reconnect with nature, with each other, and with the simple joy of being together.
After a day of hunting, unwind by lounging next to the pool or enjoy a relaxing session at the spa.
