About Kuname Manor House

Kuname Manor House is an exclusive-use villa in the Karongwe Game Reserve, a private Big Five reserve an hour's drive from Kruger National Park. Weeping boer-bean and jackalberry trees surround this charming, three-bedroomed home, which offers incredible views from the banks of the Kuvenyami River. It's spacious and comfortable, with staff who are willing to make this the sort of break you'd like, be it relaxed or adventurous, or a bit of both. An ideal spot for a family gathering, or a special occasion, or just because.

Highlights

The private swimming pool and shade-filled garden, perfect for between-activity relaxing.

Cheetah tracking on foot gives you the rare chance to sharpen your senses and learn a few guiding skills.

Though relatively humble in size, the reserve has an excellent cross-section of game. From elephant and rhino to lion and cheetah, and a host of birds, there's plenty to see.

The property

This colonial-style home has rustic river-rock walls with dark wood beams and a thatched roof. Set in a fenced-in grassy garden flecked with trees, its elevated setting means you have interrupted river views. Outside is a porch with a furnished lounge and dining table for outdoor meals. Inside, the open-plan kitchen has all the essentials, and the living room is furnished with deep leather sofas and armchairs. Decor is comfortable and warm.

The rooms

Downstairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed, the other with two twin beds, both accessed from the central living area. They're spacious and modern, with high ceilings, plenty of natural light, an en-suite bathroom, and decor that is charmingly country-style warm. The upstairs loft can be accessed from a flight of stairs in the living room. Cosy and well-lit with a few sofas, the room is ideal for children, or as a quiet corner to read.

Game Drives

Activities here are arranged at your pleasure, and guides are flexible when considering the day's schedule. That said, most guests opt for early morning and afternoon drives, beating the heat of the day and catching wildlife when they're most active. Karongwe offers the Big Five, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, kudu and other antelope, and 365 bird species. Night drives are permitted on the property, as well as bush walks. Only children aged six and above are allowed on game drives.
