Umngazi River Bungalows & Spa is an attractive and comfortable, away-from-it-all resort with all the modern amenities one requires for a fantastic vacation.
Add to that Umngazi`s laid-back atmosphere and unique scenery and you have the formula for a memorable stay.
Here you will be pampered in spacious thatch-roofed bungalows each with en suite bathroom and private open-air shower.
The days here are all yours to enjoy. While the more active may be tempted by beach walks and activities, simply relaxing in comfortable and private surroundings remains a substantial temptation.
Relax in our special, secluded honeymoon cottages, with spa baths and double outside showers with views to die for.
With our unique honeymoon bar service and superior furnishings and fittings, we will ensure nothing stops you from enjoying every moment together.
Walk through mangrove swamps and discover beautiful indigenous forests with some 240 species of birds. If you prefer to, hire a boat or try out an aquavan or canoe for a jaunt up the river.
If fishing is your sport Umngazi offers both river and surf options while fly-fishing is very popular. Take along one of the trained gillies to ensure you choose the best spots.
