Looking for accommodation near the University of Mpumalanga? Luhambo Students is a private, NSFAS-accredited residence in Kamagugu, Nelspruit. The UMP campus on the R40 in Riverside Park is a 5 km walk to and from our door. We run student transport to campus and back, so getting to your lectures is sorted before you arrive.
Our address is 1 Mother Teresa Street, Kamagugu X4, Nelspruit/Mbombela 1200. The UMP campus sits at the corner of the R40 and D725 in Riverside Park. The walk to and from campus is 5 km, close enough that lectures are never a long way off, but far enough from the bustle to give you a quiet place to study.
Student transport to the UMP campus and back is included in your rent. That means one less thing to organise before semester starts — no daily taxi fares, no unreliable lifts and no worrying about parking.
Luhambo Students offers a private, purpose-built residence experience for UMP students who want more independence than a traditional res without sacrificing structure or security.
The property has 125 units. Each unit houses 8 students and includes 1 double room, 6 single rooms, a communal kitchen, 2 showers and 2 bathrooms — a practical setup that still gives you your own space. In 2025, Luhambo was named Student Accommodation of the Year, recognising the quality of living we provide.
Luhambo Students is NSFAS-accredited. If you are funded by NSFAS, speak to your coordinator about allocating your accommodation allowance to an accredited private residence like ours.
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. Call or WhatsApp us on +27 82 682 7841, message us on WhatsApp, or email admin@luhambostudents.co.za.
