About us

Who we are

Ubungane Lodge is our family's way of sharing the beauty of the wonder of the Makalali Reserve. We're not a 5-star lodge, but something even better: a home filled with warmth, love, and stories.

This land has shaped our lives, inspired our dreams, and taught us the importance of preserving South Africa's incredible wildlife. Mila Mai, our daughter, has grown up here, a true "bush baby", learning the rhythms of the wild from her earliest days. Her passion for conservation fuels everything we do, and her future inspires us to protect this land for generations to come.
Our mission

We believe in making a difference, both for the environment and for the people who experience it. From conservation projects like rhino protection and vulture rehabilitation to heartfelt efforts like sharing the Riff Raff story, Ubungane stands as a symbol of hope and action in the fight for wildlife.
