Excellent accommodation, friendly staff, spectacular designs, warm hospitality & unique locations are ensuring that African game lodges are making a great name for themselves. We define a game lodge as any destination where you stay with the purpose of seeing wildlife.

Without wanting to fall into the ‘package’ category, Kumuka recognises that some people are looking for a little more of the creature comforts whilst on holiday, without sacrificing their need to explore. For those not looking to pitch their tent at night after a hard days game drive, and who want the daily chores to be arranged for them, lodge based tours offer a comfortable alternative to camping. With this in mind, we are delighted to introduce our collection of lodged based tours, for those wishing to combine magnificent game viewing with a touch of luxury at an affordable price. Experience the African bush with the comforts of idyllic, secluded lodges carefully chosen for their design, harmony with the environment, service and cuisine.

Top class accommodation

We have created individual safaris combining the thrills of wildlife viewing with the best environmental and cultural attractions of East and Southern Africa, whilst enjoying the comfort of unique 3-4 star lodge accommodation. All prices are based on twin share. In more remote areas we use rustic guesthouses or mobile safari tents, which represent the best accommodation available locally.

Kumuka’s East Africa lodge based tours take you through the wonders of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, which claim some of the world’s most scenic and dramatic National Parks. View the most coveted game in the Masai Mara, relax on the exotic beaches of Zanzibar and Mombasa or watch a sea of pink flamingos on Lake Nakuru. Experience the thrill of a gorilla trek and visit the unforgettable Serengeti National Park, Lake Naivasha, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Rift Valley.

In Southern Africa we offer a range of spectacular lodge based tours to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Enjoy excellent cuisine and accommodation along the Garden Route or in the beautiful cities of Cape Town and Durban. Visit in comfort the watery wilderness of Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta and see for yourself the vastness of the Kalahari and Namib Deserts. Experience the majestic elephant herds along the banks of the Chobe River and spot game in Etosha and Kruger National Parks. There are also opportunities to meet the locals on our Damaraland and Swaziland cultural visits. You will be captivated by the diversity of the African landscape and always led by experienced and professional guides in private, comfortable transportation.

Lodge based tours/safaris across East Africa

A little bit of extra comfort with Kumuka

The lodges used have been individually designed to compliment their environment and are usually situated in unique and remote locations, providing you with opportunities to experience Africa at its best. Many are within National Parks, where listening to the sounds of the wild at night is not to be forgotten. After busy days on game drives, relax by the pool (some lodges) or enjoy sundowners on the decking amid the raw splendour of the surrounding bush. The style of the lodges reflects their backdrop, with traditional African themes and furnishings, cultural influences and open-plan architectural design. Lodges vary depending on country and location, however, typical features include swimming pools, excellent standards of accommodation with full en-suite facilities, private grounds and full time staff in attendance.

Dining is given great importance within our lodges, with menus drawing from classical African, European & Asian origins, mixed with modern themes & influences. Produce, where possible, is sourced locally from the rich farmlands nearby, continuing our support & commitment to local communities.

African Lodge tours carry a maximum of 10 clients only, and by utilising smaller safari vehicles you are ensured of a more personal, comfortable and stylish tour experience.

Explore the unrivalled beauty of Africa, where adventure awaits and where, for our more discerning passengers, the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles can now be experienced in greater comfort.
