Imbali Safari Lodge

Wildlife Lodge

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.2
 

Imbali Safari Lodge, an exclusive haven within Kruger National Park, evokes the opulent safari traditions of the early 1900s. Set in a private concession, it offers breathtaking views across the riverbed and plains.

Each of the twelve luxurious suites, adorned in neutral tones, features spacious wooden decks with private Jacuzzis or plunge pools, king-size beds, romantic antique-styled en-suite baths, mosquito nets, air-conditioning, telephones, and tea-and-coffee facilities. Connected by timber walkways, the suites provide an intimate retreat with two wingback chairs, blending timeless elegance with the wild beauty of the African bush.

The all-inclusive dining experience showcases gourmet menus with local beverages, served in the sophisticated dining room or on the open-air deck overlooking a vibrant waterhole teeming with wildlife. Guests can unwind with in-suite spa treatments, embark on two daily safaris in open 4x4 vehicles with professional guides, or opt for birdwatching and guided safari walks by prior arrangement, immersing themselves in the park's rich biodiversity.

Self-drive options within Kruger National Park enhance exploration, though the lodge, situated in a malaria area with applicable gate entry fees per person per day, has no cell phone reception and limited landlines for a true escape. Located 80 km from Skukuza Airport and 120 km from Hoedspruit Airport, with shuttle services available, Imbali Safari Lodge delivers a seamless blend of historic grandeur and untamed adventure.
