Accommodation
This was our favourite place, albeit the simplest. Hot water and electricity for just 4 hours each night, simple hut accommodation and no fanciness! But in exchange, starry nights, wonderful food and company, tranquility and the best sleep ever. It's a beautiful spot and ideal base for exploring Kosi Bay - makes you realise you don't need modern comforts for a comfortable stay.
Enjoyed our stay at Umkhumbi very much, warm welcome, great food and wonderful views and sunset from the main lodge house. Obviously it is not in the park itself so no watering holes etc in view but a tranquil place, staff were excellent too and I appreciated the wifi access!
