We recently had some unexpected visitors to Umkhumbi Lodge: two Wild Dogs were spotted by the reserve manager in Kuleni on the 21st September. This caused some excitement! The only large carnivore at Kuleni is a couple of leopards that include the game park in their home ranges. The two wild dogs killed an impala […]

More bushbabies!
By Lacey Robson on June 8, 2012 in Accommodation near game reserve, Activities, Bushwire, Hluhluwe Accommodation, Just for fun, Kwazulu-Natal, KZN, Our animals
It seems that these little primates are becoming big fans of the night vision camera! I was standing right in the window with a normal video camera for this one! They’re getting brave!
Here come the bushbabies!
Whilst the bushbabies love to hang out in our sandforest here in Hluhluwe, they tend to run off at the sight of humans. But now winter is coming and they have suddenly got very confident… Be prepared for regular updates from these cheeky little monkeys!!
Bye bye Kiboko!
As always we had lots of fun with our group of 11 Kiboko guests. There wasn’t a quiet moment! Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip everyone!
Vervet Monkey
The Vervet Monkeys are running wild today at Umkhumbi Lodge!! Playful as always they are running up and down the branches, munching on monkey apples and mangos and anything else they can find to sink their little teeth into. But then one lazy monkey, stole a baby monkey!!! He wanted the fruit that the mother […]
Day 8 – uMkhuze
The bird hunting continues! A fantastic days sightings at uMkhuze, even whilst loading the car with our cameras, telescope, binoculars, bird books and most importantly breakfast we could hear the birds whistling around us. No sooner had we pulled out of Umkhumbi Lodge gate than we see 2 Burchells Coucals sitting on a fence post, […]
Day 6 – Tembe Elephant Reserve
Time to say good bye to Kosi Bay as the boys set out at 6:30 am to head once more to their Hluhluwe accommodation at Umkhumbi Lodge. But whilst we’re driving past Tembe Elephant Reserve, it would be wrong not to go in… wouldn’t it? Don’t let the name fool you, Tembe Elephant reserve is […]
Day 5 – Kosi Bay Turtle Tour
By Lacey Robson on January 29, 2012 in Activities, Amangwane Kosi Bay, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
An early start for Jason and Adam today as they head up to Ndumo Game reserve for a full day of fantastic bird and animal sightings. Only one thing can top a great day, and that is going on a Turtle tour. Sea turtles who usually live in the deep deep depths come on land […]
Day 4 – Kosi Bay Snorkelling
By Lacey Robson on January 28, 2012 in Activities, Amangwane Kosi Bay, Birding, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
Snorkelling is the plan today! Armed with our goggles, snorkels and flippers we clambered into the Land Cruiser ready for Tommy to drive us down to Kosi Bay mouth estuary. It is possible to walk down, but after a long day snorkelling driving back up the hill is much nicer! when we got down to […]
Day 3 – Kosi Bay
By Lacey Robson on January 27, 2012 in Amangwane Kosi Bay, Birding, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
Amangwane at Kosi Bay is one of my favourite places, so imagine my joy when we were to go to Kosi Bay for three nights looking for more birds to tick off of Jason and Adams substantial birdlist! Part of the beauty of Kosi Bay is that it is not too far from <a href=”www.umkhumbilodge.co.za”>Hluhluwe</a> […]
