In addition to excellent hunting opportunities, Ubuninzi offers world-class personal hospitality on an all-inclusive basis. Our dedicated lodge team will ensure that you feel at home from when you arrive to when you leave. Our team, led by Carene, are highly responsive and offers the best personal service for all aspects of your stay. This ranges from special menus and flexible mealtimes to room turndowns and wake-up calls.
With Carene running the hospitality team, you’re guaranteed a fantastic hunting getaway. For this committed host, nothing is too much trouble, and she’ll work with you to ensure that your lodge experience is as exceptional as your time out hunting. Her standards are high, and her attention to detail is hard to beat.
“I want every guest to enjoy every minute of their stay with us. My favorite moments are when guests are totally at ease and can focus on their hunt, knowing everything else they need is taken care of.” Carene
Ubuninzi’s gardeners, housekeepers, chefs, trackers, skinners, and maintenance staff are all employed from the local community. We’re proud of their commitment to every one of our guests and the high standards they maintain, from the evening turndown and laundry service they provide to the beautifully maintained grounds and pool to the wonderful food produced in our kitchens.
Meet the self-made women in our kitchen and discover their flair for food and flavor.
Our food is very much part of our story. Our chefs’ reputations and recipes have travelled around the world. We love creating menus that allow you to experience the best South African cuisine.
When you arrive at Ubuninzi, the welcoming team will discuss your preferred breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule. We’ll work around your hunting goals and our time in the wilderness, ensuring you’re always well-fed and hydrated.
Our other chefs are local women who take pride in working with the freshest ingredients. Venison is often the star of the show. You’ll be able to select cuts of meat from your hunt for them to prepare to your liking or enjoy some of our exceptional beef or karoo lamb, chicken, or pork. We often braai (barbeque) in our boma or expansive deck, serving South African specialities like roosterkoek and boerewors, a lightly spiced farmer’s sausage.
Other uniquely South African favorites are milk tart, bobotie and homemade biltong (like jerky – but spiced with cumin, coriander, and other top-secret ingredients).
You or your partner, friends or kids can join our chefs in the kitchen if the fancy takes you and learn their recipes – or share some of your own. Your stay includes all your food and drinks. Please advise us of any dietary requirements before your visit so we can cater for these. Note that the main dining area is inside the lodge, but you can request to dine alone or outside.
Our hunting lodge is a haven for hunters and their families and guests. Built in a classic South African Farmhouse style, the lodge has wide, wrap-around porch that give you panoramic views of the Karoo landscape and the wildlife that abounds in the area.
