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

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

The Lodge is very beautiful, the rooms are cozy, the view is tremendous, the Safaris & animal are stupendous, the people are lovely - definitely one of the best accomodations I ever stayed at! On the safaris we saw a female cheetah with her cub feeding on... More

The most memorable experience of a lifetime. This is the most amazing place in the world and I've been to a few. The hosts, the staff, the rangers and the whole lodge can not be described in one sentence. We were treated like royalty and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the little extras made it... More

Barry, Minneke and all the staff made us feel incredibly welcome at the lodge. The quality of food and service was exemplary as was the location and room. The insight into the wildlife on the game drives was of the highest level and we saw so many varied animals and birds. The attention to detail within the camp was like... More
