Set on the outskirts of Hazyview, Umbhaba Eco Lodge is a polished 4-star retreat surrounded by quiet, scenic gardens. Rooms are modern and stylish, equipped with en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and Wi-Fi to keep your stay smooth and comfortable. The kitchen turns out generous, comforting meals, and the staff bring an easy, welcoming warmth to the experience. The lodge’s calm atmosphere and attentive service create a relaxed, satisfying stay from arrival to departure.
You reach Hazyview around midday, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere before the afternoon’s adventure. At approximately 15:45, the group boards the vehicle for a Sunset–Night Safari, a drive that begins in the golden, late-afternoon glow that photographers and wildlife enthusiasts love.
This soft light often makes the whole experience feel quite intimate, Elephant and Buffalo are quite common sightings on the 1st safari into Kruger.
As daylight fades, the character of the bush changes, depending on the season. During the winter, the sunsets earlier, allowing for an extended night-drive experience, while summer offers a dramatic, lingering twilight painted across the sky. Once darkness settles, spotlights come into play. Cooler temperatures typically encourage more animal movement, and your guide will focus on finding nocturnal species and tracking any predators beginning their nightly rounds.
The safari concludes at about 20:00, when you return to the lodge for a hearty dinner. After a full afternoon in the bush, the calm of the evening and a good night’s rest set the tone for the days ahead.

We start our safaris just before the sun rises. This is the best time of the day to travel to the park, and your guide will know just where to find the wildlife you’ve come to see, including the Big 5 and plains game. Early morning safaris are also the ideal time of the day to see predators.
The lodge will arrange breakfast packs, and your guide will stop after about 3 hours of driving for breakfast, a bathroom break and a chance to get coffee. We then continue the safari. The beautiful Kruger is home to a wide variety of eco zones and in each one, there are all sorts of interesting wildlife to see. During our drive we will visit rivers and watering holes as well as plains and Bushveld regions, all the areas that are best known for wildlife sightings.
Daarna stoppen we voor de lunch in een rustkamp, waar de maaltijd voor eigen rekening is, en er is ook tijd om wat curiosa te kopen of te genieten van een koud biertje! De gids gaat dan verder met de safari terwijl je terugkeert naar de lodge. We komen rond 15:30 en 16:00 uur aan, met genoeg tijd om te ontspannen, zwemmen en te dineren.

The day is dedicated to exploring the Panorama Route’s most iconic viewpoints and geological wonders. The journey includes sweeping vistas from God’s Window, the sculpted rock formations of Bourke’s Luck Potholes, the immense Blyde River Canyon, one of the largest on Earth, along with the thunderous Lisbon Falls, the striking 3 Rondavels, and the character-filled town of Graskop.
The drive from Hazyview takes 45 minutes before the road begins winding upward, climbing close to a kilometre into the Northern Drakensberg. As the landscape rises, the air cools and the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic, offering views that shift from lush lowveld to rugged mountain terrain.
Lunch is enjoyed in Graskop, where travellers often take a little time to browse the local curio shops or try one of the town’s famously indulgent pancakes.
By late afternoon, usually between 16:00 and 17:00, we’ll return to the lodge. There’s time for a drink, a swim, or simply relaxing before dinner, setting everyone up for the early start of the next day’s Kruger safari.

The final safari unfolds at an easy pace, giving you time to soak in the landscape and scan the thickets for leopards that often slip by unnoticed. The morning air tends to be cool and still, ideal for catching those last special sightings before the journey home.
We’ll have a brief stop for breakfast and coffee breaks up the drive, after which you continue exploring the Kruger until we return to the lodge at about 12:00.
