Kuname River Lodge| Luxury private game lodge | Kruger Luxury Safari
Great game viewing in a Big Five reserve and the luxury of
the top class
Kuname River Lodge.
Kuname River Lodge, a luxury
private game lodge is driven by passion.
Passion for the land, passion for the animals and plants, passion for
service and passion for the community in which we live. Our guiding
principle is "responsible tourism" - to conserve the eco-system and preserve
one of Africa's endangered spaces.
Kuname River Lodge will touch you deeply. Your visit will always hold a
special place in your heart. It will rejuvenate you and soothe your soul. It
is more than just a safari, more than a luxury lodge - it is the essence of
Africa!
Kuname River Lodge is a small,
unashamedly exclusive, luxury safari lodge set in about 9,000 hectares of
pristine African bush, in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve. Only 45
minutes drive from the world-famous Kruger National Park.
Bordered by the towering Drakensberg escarpment on the west and set in
game-rich, lush, riverine vegetation, the facility offers a variety of
breathtaking views, diverse landscapes and some of the best big five
game-viewing opportunities in southern Africa.
A game drive at Kuname is
about more than simply ticking off animals on a 'game-sighting list' and
following the Big Five. With incredible bird life and century old trees,
professional guides, each with an astounding knowledge of the environment,
ensure that visitors become participants, rather than just spectators as
they feel the rhythms of the veld. A game drive at Kuname is about getting
immersed in an African bush experience.
Accommodation at the lodge is in five private, comfortable chalets,
nestled in dense bush overlooking the majestic Drakensberg escarpment. The
air-conditioned chalets are decorated in an elegant African style, with each
item of artwork having its own story.
The en-suite bathrooms include an outdoor shower as well as a luxurious
outdoor bath. The magnificent views from the quaint private wooden decks on
each of the chalets simply take your breath away.
Dining at Kuname is a special treat. A time to enjoy a kaleidoscope of
flavours inspired by Africa but guided by the culinary traditions of Europe.
Our gourmet chef lured from one of South Africa's top restaurants ensures
each meal at Kuname is an unforgettable gastronomic occasion. A barbecue
with fine wines on the wooden viewing-deck or an elegant bush dinner, while
you inhale the earthy scents of the African bush, will make your taste-buds
soar.
A bush walk with an experienced ranger is a chance to literally step
into a world few ever get the opportunity to experience. It is a nature
expedition. Participants get to see animals on their own level, in their
unique environment. They learn how everything in a delicate ecosystem has to
be in perfect balance if it is to survive and flourish.
On a bush walk the emphasis is on the little creatures and tiny things that
play vital roles in the functioning of this unique environment. Participants
learn about medicinal plants, the region's lesser-known fauna and flora and
veld-skills that have been passed from generation to generation by the
region's indigenous people.
To really feel the bush one needs to sit quietly and listen and feel
Africa's rhythms. Slowly the ancient edifice of wondrous architecture - the
landscape, will educate your spirit, reminding you of the fragile
intricacies of the bush and our special role and responsibility to protect
sacred land.
