The house

Umoja is a luxurious self catering accomodation for 6 persons. The house is built in authentic African style with thatched roofs to keep you cool in the hot summers. It is surrounded by a wrap-around terrace –stoep – with a private splash pool and a spacious garden that secures your privacy. While preparing your BBQ (braai) you have a view over the waterhole where you can frequently spot the animals that roam freely on the estate.

From the moment you arrive, you will experience that absolute bush feeling. So don’t be surprised if the impala’s or waterbuck spend the night in your garden!

Large glass sliding doors offer great views of the bush and give access to the garden and the wrap-around terrace which is furnished as an extension of the living room; the ultimate indoor/outdoor living style.

A large American fridge with ice maker and filtered ice water, a 5-burner gas cooker with oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher; it’s all there for your comfort. With open plan living, the kitchen forms part of the living room. Large French doors open to the terrace with a small sitting area to enjoy the typical African bird sounds. (Birders paradise!
