The staff was really friendly and helpful. The tour operators they booked for our tours where amazing. So if you stay at the Umlilo Lodge just let them take care of all your bookings.

Very friendly staff, "honesty bar", laundry service, jungle-like tropical atmosphere and architecture. Large and comfortable bed, lots of space in bedroom and bathroom for bags, toiletries etc, very good shower. Short walking distance to the restaurants and shops.

The owners of Umililo Lodge couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Extra facilities like laundry service, honesty bar and communal areas to relax in were great additions.
