"A truly special place"

8.0

We had a wonderful stay at Kukummi Lodge. The location is simply phenomenal – surrounded by breathtaking nature, allowing you to completely unwind. It's a truly special place. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and hospitable; they did everything they could to ensure we felt comfortable. It must be said, however, that the lodge is a bit dated and could benefit from an update.

The two owners treated us like Kings. It's different. A home away from home.

10.0

Everything about this place was perfect! it genuinely felt like coming home. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the amazing stories, the relaxed vibe, and that incredible view… it all made our stay so special. We loved the hikes (absolutely stunning) and the food was fantastic every single day. But what really made the difference were the owners and staff: kind, attentive, and truly the best you can feel how much heart they put into this place. We’d recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special, with a unique vibe you don’t find everywhere.

"Exceptional experience. Adventure on top of it, type Lord of the Rings"

10.0

You need to go for the experience and the quality of the hosts. An exceptional location for those who love nature, adventure, clean air, good food.

Nothing. Just be prepared for the adventure on the access road, especially when it rains. But this again is an experience not to be missed.

"Best stay!"

10.0

It’s an adventure. In beautiful Drakensbergen. Ryan is your superhost. Great walks and we had a super comfy tent to sleep in. Big lovely bed. A braai on saturdays. In the morning breakfast on the terrace as the mountains come alive. Go . Don’t hesitate. You will make the most beautiful walks and learn a lot about animals and the San.
