    There was nothing not to like

    Just the feeling of nature so close to you, I love the Bushveld . We saw some elephants, impala, several birds, a porcupine and we heard the hyena near the house. I do recommend Bushvilla Imoja because the house is 10/10 .

    Nothing!! We didnt want to leave!

    This property was a slice of quiet heaven in the middle of the bush overlooking the Kruger!! The house has been beautifully decorated, with every detail covered and a well executed exterior patio covering dining overlooking the water-hole, sunrise watching in comfort and excellent braai and boma fire facilities to allow for the full bush experience for the whole family! Chantal is amazing in communications throughout the process and has great recommendations of attractions in the area which is so worthwhile ! the comfortable bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathrooms, kitchen had all necessities and there is even great wi-fi and DSTV to cover the important sport games!! its a fabulous find!!!

    The place is wonderfully remote and as a consequence one is visited by wildlife whilst living in the most comfortable accommodation. Truly wonderful

    Loved being in the bush ... the stillness of nature was amazing a very special spot .... the sunset boat cruise was really beautiful to do. The hostess went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. The owner Chantal was an absolute joy to work with ... thank you for an unforgettable family holiday.

    Everything was perfect from beginning to end. I’ve used Booking for years and never had a host like Chantal. We were 5 young friends and everything went perfectly, the house is absolutely stunning, the air conditioning was very much welcome… Chantal always makes herself available, every one of our questions were answered in a few minutes, she even took the time to set an itinerary up for us to do the Panorama route in time to catch our flight. I would give 20 stars if I could. If you’re hesitating, book it now!

    There is nothing not to like except leaving.

    What a wonderful house. We stayed three days chilling after a week or so in the Kruger. Umoja was perfect, from watching elephants in the waterhole to braaing in the evening. I would definitely stay again! Birds and wildlife are plentiful, and the multiple seating areas mean a different view every few hours. Chantal is the perfect host, keeping in touch.

    This is by far the best Lodge on the Estate, the host has made the Lodge as complete as possible. It is a real pleasure to stay at a Lodge where everything is right :) Chantal (the Host) makes sure you are aware of all the activities and provides you with all the information you need, she is super helpful. The House is highly recommendable.
