You can rent this bushvilla as self catering, but we can provide a breakfast pack and/or a ready-to-use lasagna or bbq meal to be ready for you on arrival (+€). So have a sundowner on your terrace, listen to the birds and watch an stunning sunset or the African milky way above while the children have fun in the private pool…. a magical experience. Welcome to Bushvilla Umoja! (Swahili for The spirit of togetherness).
This authentic African thatched 6 person bushvilla is located in a nature reserve, directly adjacent to and overlooking the Kruger Park. Your home away from home. There is an additional pool for the residents and their guests as well as a view tower over the Kruger Park.

The modern living room is fully equipped (sitting area, LED television with DSTV and free WiFi).

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.

A piece of HEAVEN
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!

Awesome Experience!
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!
