Khaya Umdani

The property around Khaya Umdani forms part of the Marloth Park Wildlife Estate. The 2500-hectare estate is sandwiched between the Kruger National Park to the north and the estate's own game park, Lionspruit, to the south.

The house can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 luxury en-suite bedrooms, each individually air-conditioned. There is a lounge with plasma-TV that has selected DStv channels and a DVD player, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a laundry with a dishwasher. Outside is a huge, furnished verandah overlooking the splash pool, your own waterhole en outside braai area.

Wild animals roam freely inside the conservancy, but the animals from Kruger and Lionspruit are fenced out. The purpose of the fences is basically to keep lions, hippos, elephants, and rhinos out of the inhabited area. There is, however, no guarantee that these animals would not enter Marloth Park.

Inside Lionspruit all of the Big 5, with the exception of elephants, can be seen on self-drive or professional game drives. The visitors are allowed to get out of their vehicles and there are a few nice picnic spots to enjoy a champagne breakfast in the wild.

Staying at Khaya Umdani brings you as close to the wildlife and nature as when you sleep in a tree inside Kruger, with the only difference being that you enjoy all the comforts of a luxury house.
