Bushvilla Umoja Kruger - wildlife without fences

Wish we could have stayed longer, 2 nights were not enough.

This property was in a very quiet and rural place, which is exactly what we wanted, to be near wildlife and nature. The housecwas very clean and had everything one needed to make the stay comfortable. Chantal the owner kept great communication with me and even got us discounts at various excursions! The housekeeper Ingrid was very welcoming and came to meet us even though we got late arriving! Will recommend to everyone and will hopefully be going back again.

The photos of wild animals frequenting the area was misleading, and as this was the main reason for choosing the venue I felt misled

We had such an incredible stay at Umoja! Elephants roaming through the backyard during our braai!! The place is very clean, the inverter makes it so you are not without power, owner and in-country contact whet so helpful and easily accessible. We wish we had booked longer!! We would love to come back and stay again. It was such a blessing to my family. My 8 and 10 yr old boys loved it as well and really enjoyed the pool. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Umoja Kruger. The house sits within a property that has some other houses in it, which forms a small community. However, each unit is somewhat secluded. Umoja had a great location where you had privacy but also felt like you were connected to others. The Umoja house was very well done - a blend of nature and Africa that includes all the amenities you would need. It has 3 different areas for hanging out around the exterior, which created very enjoyable outdoor time. Also included is a nice grill area and a small pool. Behind the house is a pond and open bushland. We saw Impala several times and had the excitement of 3 elephants visiting the pond. On our last day there, the elephants played in the pond for a good half hour while we were in the pool. One of them passed so close to us after it got out that we felt like we could almost reach out and touch it. The last thing to mention is the overall community. The people where extremely friendly and made us feel welcome from the minute we got there. We attended a group braai (cookout) one night, where we a a great time. We also had breakfast at the central area and used the big, nice pools that are available. We even got massages. On top of that, the Phalaborwa gate to Kruger Park is on ly 15-20 minutes away. All in all, it was a great time!

The Bush Villa Umoja Kruger is an amazing place. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. There are many decks around the house where you can enjoy your time watching the abundant wildlife. Chantal is a wonderful host and does everything to make sure that you have an enjoyable stay. A perfect house in a perfect spot.

We stayed at the villa for a very short two nights and it was better than we could have expected. The house is beautiful and we had the opportunity to BBQ on the patio and see the warthogs drinking in the waterhole. There were 5 adults and the three bedroom, 3 bath set up was perfect for our group. The rooms and bathrooms are beautifully furnished and the people are so helpful on the estate. We did a one day Kruger safari and Craig was incredible, he partners with the estate and picked us up there early in the morning. He is so knowledgeable about all of the animals and land and really went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see and were comfortable. The staff at the estate put on a beautiful Braai the second night we were there which was in a great setting and set up some of our spa treatments for the next day. Breakfast is a must have, they put together a huge spread overlooking the pools outside and the food did not disappoint. Overall the stay was too short but perfect, I would recommend anyone from a family to a group of adults to stay at the estate and stay long enough to enjoy it!
