Lodge Highlights
VIEWING DECK
At Kuname Safari Lodge, nature is always in view. From the pool deck and shaded lounges to the firelit boma and open-air dining areas, the Kuvenyami River winds below and the Northern Drakensberg mountains rise beyond. Wildlife is never far — elephants come to drink, antelope move through the riverbed, and birdlife abounds. It’s a setting where exceptional game-viewing meets uninterrupted views, and where every moment is framed by the wild.
BOMA with a view
At sundown, Kuname Safari Lodge's boma offers something rare — the warmth of the fire paired with elevated views over the Kuvenyami River and Northern Drakensberg mountains. Lanterns flicker in the trees, flames dance against the night, and meals are served here under the stars. It’s the only boma at Karongwe with such a vantage, making every gathering both intimate and unforgettable.
PREMIER SUITE
Designed with honeymooners in mind, Kuname’s Premier Suite is a private sanctuary of romance and tranquillity. A free-standing stone bath and outdoor shower invite you to linger under lantern light, surrounded by the sounds of the bush. Inside, elegant décor and soft natural tones create a cosy yet refined space, opening onto a private balcony with sweeping views of the Kuvenyami River and beyond to the Drakensberg mountains. Intimate, secluded, and deeply romantic.
Bathing Beneath Open Skies
The Premier and Luxury Suites at Kuname Safari Lodge are secluded sanctuaries where nature and comfort are seamlessly entwined. Set deep in the African bush, each suite opens onto a private wooden deck overlooking the wilderness, inviting quiet moments of reflection and connection.

Outdoor baths complete the experience — perfect for soaking beneath open skies. Designed for couples seeking intimacy and retreat, these suites transform each stay into a celebration of place and presence.
