At this point ‘roughing it’
in Africa stops!
Excellent accommodation, friendly staff, spectacular
designs, warm hospitality & unique locations are
ensuring that African game lodges are making a great name for themselves.
We define a game lodge as any destination where you stay with the purpose
of seeing wildlife.
Without wishing to fall into the ‘package’ category, Kumuka
recognises that some people are looking for a little more of the creature
comforts whilst on holiday, without sacrificing their need to explore.
For those not looking to pitch up their tent at night after a hard days
game drive, lodge based tours offer a comfortable alternative
to camping. With this in mind, we are delighted to introduce
our lodge based tours, for those wishing to combine magnificent game
viewing with a touch of luxury at an affordable price. Experience the
African bush with the benefit of idyllic, secluded lodges carefully
chosen for their design, harmony with the environment, service and cuisine.
We have created fourteen individual safaris combining the thrills of
wildlife viewing with the best environmental and cultural attractions
of East and Southern Africa. All prices are based on twin share and
unique 3-4 star lodges, hotels or luxury tented camps.
In very remote areas we use rustic guest houses which represent the
best accommodation available.
Kumuka’s East Africa lodge based tours take you
through the wonders of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, which claim
some of the world’s most scenic and dramatic National Parks. View
the most coveted game in the Masai Mara, relax on the
exotic beaches of Zanzibar and Mombasa
or watch a sea of pink flamingos on Lake Nakuru. Experience
the thrill of a gorilla trek and visit the unforgettable
Serengeti National Park, Lake Naivasha,
the Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Rift Valley.
In Southern Africa we offer a range of spectacular
lodge based tours to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Enjoy excellent
cuisine and accommodation along the Garden Route or
in the beautiful cities of Cape Town and Durban. Visit in luxury the
watery wilderness of Victoria Falls and the Okavango
Delta and see for yourself the vastness of the Kalahari
and Namib Deserts. Experience the majestic elephant herds along
the banks of the Chobe River and spot game in Etosha
and Kruger National Parks. There are also opportunities to
meet the locals on our Damaraland and Swaziland
cultural visits. You will be captivated by the diversity of the African
landscape and led by experienced and professional guides in private,
comfortable vehicles.
The lodges used have been individually designed to compliment their
environment & are usually situated in unique and remote locations,
providing you with opportunities to experience Africa at its best. Many
are within National Parks, where listening to the sounds of the wild
at night is not to be forgotten. After busy days on game drives, relax
in the gardens or enjoy sundowners on the decking amid the raw splendour
of the surrounding bush. The style of the lodges reflects their backdrop,
with traditional African themes and furnishings, cultural
influences and open-plan architectural design.
Lodges vary depending on country and location, however typical features
include swimming pools, excellent standards of accommodation
with full en-suite facilities, private grounds and full time staff in
attendance.
Dining is given great importance within our lodges, with menus drawing
from classical African, European & Asian origins, mixed with modern
themes & influences. Produce, where possible, is sourced locally
from the rich farmlands nearby, continuing our support &
commitment to local communities.
African lodge tours carry a maximum of 10 clients only,
and by utilising smaller safari vehicles you are ensured of a more personal,
comfortable and stylish tour experience.
Explore the unrivalled beauty of Africa, where adventure awaits and
where, for our more discerning passengers, the world’s greatest
wildlife spectacles can now be experienced in greater comfort.
