Looking for accommodation near the University of Mpumalanga? Luhambo Students is a private, NSFAS-accredited residence in Kamagugu, Nelspruit — about 8 km from the UMP campus on the R40 in Riverside Park, roughly 15 minutes by road. 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. By road, that is about 8 km and roughly 15 minutes — close enough to sleep in a little longer, 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.
