Who we are

Ubungane Lodge has been and still is our family journey.  The reserve is our bubble, our pocket of paradise,
our home, we want to share the beauty and the wonder
of the Makalali Private Nature Reserve.
We want to share what we have been so lucky to see
and experience, we want to share it with you all.

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.
