Stylish rooms to the warm bonfire, braai, and Karoo hospitality
August 31, 2025by: Kevin Daniels - South AfricaProgram: 60-Day Field Guide Course in South Africa!Thank you for sponsoring Nazli George Promotions (SAFTA Award-winning actor) during our theatre tour. Our stay at Kukama Wildlife Lodge was unforgettable. From the stylish rooms to the warm bonfire, braai, and Karoo hospitality, everything made us feel at home after our performances of Stop the Bully. Your support makes it possible for us to use theatre to inspire change in communities. – Soul Café (Performer, Nazli George Promotions)
What an amazing experience!
April 23, 2025by: Angelique Bezuidenhout - South AfricaProgram: 60-Day Field Guide Course in South Africa!My time at Kukama was honestly just what I needed. Being surrounded by the bush, the quiet, and the simplicity of the space reminded me why I love this kind of lifestyle. The rooms are comfortable, the people are kind, and it's peaceful. I loved sitting on the patio with a coffee in hand, watching the sunrise, or just listening to the birds in the evenings. The main house has everything you need. It’s a place that feels real. Nothing fancy, just good energy, nature all around. I’ll definitely be back.
