While exploring the green belt near Heron Dam, we came across the fascinating satin-bark saucer-berry (Cordia ovalis). This shrub may not catch your eye at first, but once you feel its satin-smooth bark and rough, sandpaper-like leaves, you’ll realise nature has some truly interesting textures to offer. 🌿

It’s these little details that make a walk in the bush so rewarding - there’s always something new to discover, even in the plants and trees around you. And did you know that some of the trees on the estate are marked with signs displaying their names? You can learn more about them while exploring! 🌳✨

🌟 We’re happy to share this lovely review on Google from our guest, Nothando! 🙌

“An absolute gem located in a pristine wildlife estate. The pictures do not do the Villa justice. It is absolutely gorgeous, kitted with all the amenities you need. The host was really attentive and was available to greet us. There is nothing I did not like, I 150% recommend UmnDeni Villa for anyone needing some R&R.”

- Nothando

Thank you for the kind words Nothando, we hope to see you back soon! 🏡🌿🦒🦓

🦒 During a recent game drive on the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, we had the amazing experience of watching one of Africa’s tallest and most elegant animals - the giraffe! 😍

Standing next to these gentle giants, you really get a sense of how incredibly tall they are. Did you know that giraffes can grow up to 5.5 metres (18 feet) tall? That’s taller than most trees in the bush! 🌳🦒

With their long legs and necks, giraffes spend most of their day browsing the treetops, snacking on leaves other animals can’t reach.

Fun fact: giraffes only need about 30 minutes of sleep a day, so they’re almost always on the move! 🌟

Watching a giraffe in its natural environment is such a beautiful reminder of the unique wildlife you can encounter at UmnDeni Africa. Every game drive offers something new and special!

🌿 Warthog Wrestling on the Green Belt! 🐗💥

We caught this playful moment between two young warthogs testing their strength during a game drive on the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate’s green belt!

These little guys may not be serious yet, but they’re already learning the ropes of warthog life. In the wild, male warthogs spar like this to establish dominance. Watch as they butt heads and check out the dust flying when one gives the other a face full of dirt! 😆 No hard feelings here though—they get right back to it.

This behaviour is all about practice and play for now, but one day it’ll help them compete for territory and mates. Such a fascinating part of the bush experience at UmnDeni Africa! 🌍✨

🦒 Did you know that seeing a giraffe lying down is a rare and special sight? Giraffes spend most of their time on their feet, even when they sleep, as it allows them to stay alert to potential predators. When they do lie down, it’s usually only for short periods.

At UmnDeni Africa, you have the unique opportunity to walk or cycle through the estate and encounter these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Imagine coming across a giraffe relaxing in the bush - it's an unforgettable experience that truly connects you with nature.

🌅 Book your stay at UmnDeni Africa, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the African wilderness. Whether you're exploring on foot, by bike, or simply enjoying the view from the villa, the wildlife here is never far away.

Did you know? 🦓 During your stay at UmnDeni Africa, you’re likely to spot a duiker or two wandering around. We recently captured a special moment with one of these shy little antelopes on the greenbelt. 🌿

In this video, you’ll see a duiker munching away on the fresh green leaves on a branch that a giraffe probably pulled down. 🦒

Normally, duikers are quick to run off, but this one was so focused on its tasty find that it stood its ground, giving us a rare chance to watch it up close. 🍃

These delightful encounters are just one of the many reasons our guests love exploring the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. 🌍 Which animal are you most excited to see during your visit? 🐾

🌸 Spring has sprung in the Lowveld! 🌞 We're eagerly awaiting the first summer rains, but for now, it's the perfect time to enjoy the best of both worlds that this season brings.

The days are warm and sunny - ideal for lounging by the pool - while the evenings remain refreshingly cool, offering a comfortable reprieve. The landscape may still be dry, but the first signs of life are already showing - the K**b Thorns have begun to bloom, and many other trees are pushing out their new, bright green leaves, adding a touch of beauty to the bush.

🌿 Come experience the unique charm of Spring in the Lowveld at UmnDeni Africa. Whether you're here for relaxation, adventure, or just soaking up the sun, Hoedspruit is ready to welcome you.

🌙🦔 When you visit UmnDeni Africa, keep an eye out during the evening for a chance to spot porcupines.

Porcupines are nocturnal and spend their nights foraging for food and exploring the bush, while they rest during the day. With their distinctive quills and charming waddles, they’re truly a breathtaking sight.

Check out this incredible camera trap footage by The Safari Expert of a porcupine family exploring a termite mound on the green belt of the estate.
