By the end of the year, most of our huts will be transformed into<br />eco-huts, designed for better thermal storage. This means our rooms will stay cooler in<br />summer and warmer in winter, the huts will maintain the same heart and ethos that Umlani is<br />known for.  As a Fair Trade Certified lodge, we aim to blend eco-consciousness with comfort, creating unique, sustainable spaces for our guests. </p> 1354<p> </p> 1355<p> </p> 1356<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://b-cdn.springnest.com/media/img/g0/screenshot_2024-11-24_at_174433223f017.png" alt="" /></p> 1357<p>Wild Dog Room 6 2023</p> 1358<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://b-cdn.springnest.com/media/img/g0/screenshot_2024-11-24_at_174542cf8601f.png" alt="" /></p> 1359<p>Wild Dog Room 6 2024</p> 1360<p><strong>Animal sightings</strong></p> 1361<p>On the animal front, things have been nothing short of extraordinary!

Hyena peeking into the boma, checking in on guests, while honey<br />badgers have been causing a stir, around the ankles of dining guests in search of dropped<br />snacks. Our monkeys have also been very entertaining with their tiny babies, clutching onto<br />their mothers with tiny fingers, toes, and tails.
