This was the first stop we made in South Africa as part of our honeymoon. The lodge is absolutely beautiful - words cannot describe the views in this place. The hospitality was superb.

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and we were quite frankly blown away by how lovely and luxurious the place is.

We saw the new year (2013) in at the Kuname River Lodge - the best decision we could have made. The Lodge is beautifully situated overlooking the river. The rooms are clean and most inviting. Every meal was served with the finest detail and flavour. Rochelle and her team are most professional and friendly and go out of their way... More

The Kuname Lodge was incredible!! We were greeted with a regal reception and a warmth usually reserved for family. Immediately we knew this was going to be something very special. The lodge was elegant in a rustic sort of way and a magnificent reception luncheon awaited our arrival. We, our parents and our children were shown to our rooms and... More

Well what can I not say about our stay ...... nothing!! We were made to feel like family from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Whatever you have read in other reviews about Kuname, it's all so very true. We saw 'the big 5' within the first four drives we were on (thanks to Peter and Sandy).... More

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
