The Detail

Imbali Safari Lodge was designed with environmental consciousness in mind, offering a luxurious lodge experience without compromising on safari traditions.

The lodge features twelve spacious private suites, evoking the feel of a 1900s African safari with finely crafted furniture and French doors that span the length of the room. Each suite includes a king-size bed, a lounge area with a fireplace, an en-suite bathroom with a vintage claw-foot bathtub and large windows offering views of the riverine bush. Additional amenities include luxury bathroom products, bathrobes, an expansive deck overlooking the Nwaswitsontso River or savannah grasslands, and a private outdoor pool to complete your safari experience.

Facilities at the lodge include a dining area, lounge area, sparkling swimming pool, in-room spa treatments, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Guests can enjoy morning and late afternoon game drives conducted by skilled guides in open 4x4 vehicles. For more adventurous travelers, guided bush walks can be arranged upon request.

"Sara was absolutely amazing to work with. She created five different itinerary options for us to choose from based on the criteria and budget I provided for our family trip to Kruger National Park. What I appreciated most was how willing she was to connect over WhatsApp to really understand what we were looking for. After our call, she worked incredibly fast and sent all the options the very next day. Every itinerary included exactly what we asked for and stayed within our budget. Her service, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process stress-free. I honestly didn’t even know where to start planning this trip, so her help was enormous. Thanks to Sara, not only did we find the perfect safari package, but we also booked our flights as well. Thank you, Sara, for the excellent service and support — we truly appreciate everything you did for us!"
