Umdobi Bush Camp

Umdobi Bush Camp is a camping site situated in the thick of the Zululand bush, within close proximity to the protected waters and sandy beaches of Sodwana Bay. It offers a quiet escape that is almost untouched by the modern world. The campsite is located on historical land, and the campsites are evenly distributed among sturdy trees, indigenous fauna, and long grass.

Umdobi Bush Camp provides essential amenities such as hot and cold running showers, flush toilets, and power points. The campsite's appeal lies in its quiet, peaceful, and tranquil setting. It is the only campsite in the Sodwana area that offers guests a truly private camping experience without being overcrowded.

It is important to note that if your vehicle is very low, you might experience difficulties on the sandy road leading to the campsite (the last 1.2km). The road is also narrow, and your trailer or caravan might sustain some scratches. While a 4x4 vehicle is not necessary, it is recommended to deflate your tires for better access.

Pets are not allowed at Umdobi Bush Camp. The beach, located in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, is only 15km away from the campsite. Each campsite is equipped with a power point (220V, 3-point plug), a tap (cold water), a dustbin (with provided black bags), a stainless steel braai (available on request and requiring charcoal/briquettes only), and an outside light.

The private ablution facilities include an indoor bathroom with a spray bottle of sanitizer (70%+ alcohol base), a toilet (with 2-ply toilet paper, a bin, small plastic bags for sanitary products, a toilet brush, and air freshener), a shower (with hot and cold water, a wire rack for shampoo, four wall hooks, a shower curtain, and a bathmat), and a bathroom vanity unit with a basin, a framed mirror, antibacterial hand soap, and a hand towel. There are no electrical sockets inside the ablution area.

The outdoor ablution area features a single bowl sink (with hot and cold water), a plastic dish rack, dish soap (note: do not take the container home), a sponge, and a dish swab. It also includes a broom, a mop, and a steel donkey for heating water.
