All planned to your requirements before arrival, the delicious food at umSisi House is a real highlight and places strong emphasis on local, seasonal and organic produce.Breakfast is a display of cereals, fruits, yoghurts, breads and hot specials, while lunch, usually a sumptuous picnic hamper, can be loaded into the safari vehicle and had in the park.


After your day in the bush, you’ll return to gourmet gin and tonics and biltong on the terrace, followed by dinner served at the chef’s table in the open-plan kitchen paired with a fine bottle from the property’s large cellar of South African wines.

In between your activities, you can take advantage of umSisi House’s facilities by soaking up the African sun from a lounger by the pool or by resting in the Jacuzzi or with a massage treatment. Practice some deep relaxation techniques and find your inner Zen during a yoga class on the veranda, surrounded by the peaceful gardens and serenaded by the local birdlife.
