Had five nights at Kuname and were treated as old friends by every one from the moment we arrived to the drop off at the airport. This was our first safari and we could not have picked a better choice - the rooms were spotless, beautifully made up morning and evening. Good air conditioning and a ceiling fan too. Think... More

Staying at Kuname made our South Africa trip definitely the trip of a lifetime. Rochelle, Peter, Sandy, and the entire staff at the lodge (14 staff to 4 guests when we were there!) made us feel so pampered and welcome. We went out on six safaris and Peter and Sandy made every experience feel brand new, and they and Rochelle... More

We went to kuname for our honeymoon for 12 days and we could not have picked a better lodge to relax and recharge our batteries from our very busy lives. Everything was just perfect, we don't think you could say much more about the place or the people. We will return time and time again and felt like we made... More

We had a fantastic time at Kuname and we could not have asked for a better experience. Bronson, Matthews, Rochelle, and the staff were terrific hosts who shared their vast knowledge of the land, the animals, and the culture in which we stayed. We saw everything we could have hoped for and some things we never expected. We were glad... More

This was the highlight of our trip to South Africa by a mile. A stunning location and beautiful lodge coupled with exhilarating game drives and attentive staff. It was a really peaceful place to stay and I loved sitting in the pool overlooking the dry river bed. The lodge really feels like an exclusive getaway with a family-like atmosphere and... More

Set in the Karangwe reserve its one of the only places in South Africa that gives you the opportunity to walk with wild cheeetahs which... More
