Bushvilla Umoja Kruger - wildlife without fences
Enjoy the tranquility of the African bush while watching a herd of impalas, waterbucks, or warthogs and occasionally even an elephant at the waterhole. 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.
We offer some hotel facilities such as check-in/-out cleaning, intermediate cleaning every 3rd/4th day for stays > 4 nights. Additional cleaning is possible at an additional fee. Shampoo, toilet paper, linen, towels and basic condiments are included. There is NO washing machine but you can possibly arrange a laundry with our housemanger during a longer stay(€).
We can arrange a Kruger Park safari, a safari boat trip, a bush braai or a walking safari, and the Hoedspruit Sanctuaries, Blyde River boat trip, Panorama route (3 Rondavel viewpoint) and Magoebaskloof (ziplining) can all be reached within 1.5 hours. Everything to make your holiday unforgettable.
A large wrap-around terrace offers seating areas everywhere, making the house suitable for different types of travel groups; (blended) families or with friends. There is a private (splash)pool and a stone BBQ overlooking the waterhole and a spacious garden guarantees privacy.
The modern living room is fully equipped (sitting area, LED television with DSTV and free WiFi). Large sliding glass doors offer a great view of the bush and give access to the terrace that is arranged as an extension of the living room, the ultimate indoor/outdoor lifestyle. A fully equipped kitchen with 5 burner gas stove with large oven, double door American fridge with ice maker and filtered water, dishwasher and microwave offer the comfort you are looking for.
3 Spacious double bedrooms (each with en-suite bathroom with bath, shower and double vanity) have air conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets over the beds and mosquito screens on the windows. A covered carport offers parking to 2 cars and the house is equipped with an alarm.
An ideal destination for both a short stay during a trip through South Africa or to stay for a week so that you can visit the highlights from one location. And if you need help or tips for a self-book tour through South Africa, we are happy to help you with routes, tips and fun other locations.

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
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 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!

Exceeded Expectations
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!
