At Umshanti, we believe children should have space to simply be children.

To run barefoot, explore the outdoors, get a little muddy, chase birds, climb, play and spend hours discovering the world around them.

With open spaces, fresh air and nature all around, there’s plenty of room for little legs to run free and imaginations to wander.

Because some of the best childhood memories are made outside.

There’s something about arriving at Umshanti that makes the outside world feel very far away.

Surrounded by working farms, wide open skies and fresh country air, it’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply and forget about everything waiting on the other side of the gate.

No busy schedules. No rushing from one thing to the next. Just space, nature, good company and time to enjoy it.

Sometimes, you really do need to leave the world behind for a little while.

There’s a definite feeling of spring in the air at Umshanti.

The days are getting warmer, the landscape is waking up and everything feels like a very good excuse to start planning your next getaway.

Gather the family, call your friends, pack your bags and come spend a few days beside the Buffeljags Dam. We’ll take care of the beautiful setting — you just need to bring the good company.

Your next holiday might be closer than you think.

Don’t know what all the fuss is about when it comes to our sunsets?

Come see for yourself.

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun drop behind the mountains, the sky changing by the minute and the last light stretching across the Buffeljags Dam.

We could try to describe it, but honestly, it’s much better in person.

There’s something rather special about waking up with the Buffeljags Dam right on your doorstep.

Our 10-sleeper houses at Umshanti are made for getting together — family weekends, friends’ escapes, long lunches and evenings spent outside as the day winds down.

With plenty of space to spread out and the water just a few steps away, it’s an easy place to switch off, reconnect and enjoy time together.

Come for the views, stay for the good company.

Some mornings at Umshanti arrive wrapped in mist.

The mountains disappear, the trees soften into the distance, and everything feels beautifully still for a little while. It’s the kind of morning that makes you want to pour another cup of coffee, sit outside and simply take it all in.

Just one of those special Umshanti moments that reminds you how beautiful a slower start to the day can be.

Every evening, just as the sun starts to slip away, the egrets come gliding in low over the water, heading home to their nesting places.

It’s one of those little Umshanti moments that never gets old. The soft evening light, the birds coming in for the night, and everything slowing down as the day comes to a close.

Nature has a way of putting on the loveliest show without making a fuss about it.

There’s something special about an early morning at Umshanti. The mist settles over the landscape, leaving tiny drops of dew on the natural vegetation and everything feels fresh and renewed.

As the sun slowly breaks through, the landscape begins to wake up around you.

Just another beautiful reason to love mornings at Umshanti.

There’s a feeling that comes with the first signs of spring. Warmer days, fresh green growth, longer evenings and the promise of time spent outdoors.

And there’s no better time to be at Umshanti.

Come for the wide open spaces, beautiful views and fresh country air. Bring your family or friends, settle into one of our houses and make the most of this beautiful season.

Spring is calling. We’ll see you at Umshanti.

THE UMSHANTI EXPERIENCE

It’s waking up to wide open skies. Watching the egrets fly overhead towards the dam at sunset. Long days spent outdoors, good food shared with family and friends, and evenings where there’s nowhere else you need to be.

It’s the space to slow down, reconnect and simply enjoy being together.

The Umshanti experience is about the little moments that stay with you long after you’ve gone home.
