Holiday review by Mrs. Tania Brookes

Our guide to Umfoloze Hluhluwe heard on the radio that there was a lion kill near one of the roads in the park so we raced there and saw a dead buffalo and a pride of lions. It was the start to a great day's safari which was, in my son's words, "a leopard short of perfection"!

Tribes Overall:

We had a wonderful time with something for everyone.

Tribes Service:

I had a few doubts about some of the locations/lodges so I was offered alternatives but they seemed knowledgeable and helpful

Guides:

Patrick was an excellent guide on the safari, knowledgeable and friendly, and Nick at Umkhumbi was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and pointed out everything from leopard dung to locusts.

Anton and Emma were wonderful, both welcoming and helpful, the lodge was very comfortable and the food was quite good. The tented camp they have built was fab (although could have done with decent coffee there too) and we enjoyed being the first people there. All the staff we met were great.


Guest rooms at Umlilo Lodge

South Africa

We got rather a duff, very dark, airless \"family room\" with the noisiest air conditioning on the planet. The pool was not very clean but the braai was good, the breakfast delicious and the owner very friendly.
