Short safari trip

8.0

Picked imbali as a good place for a short 3 day safari. Food portions were large and of good quality . There are some areas where the wood at the lodge and around the property need some replacement but overall didn’t detract from a lovely setting . Watering hole for elephants is directly opposite the restaurant area so good for breakfast and lunch . Safari drives were good and Jayden did a great job for us . Would have been nice to have a transfer from local airport Skukuza included in the cost of the room. Private hire was around £135 each way.

Séjour inoubliable.

10.0

Superbe lodge intimiste (peu de chambres) situé dans les profondeurs du parc Kruger. Aucun dérangement des autres hôtes ce qui permet d’être au cœur de la nature. Belle suite avec terrasse privative nous permettant d’observer les nombreux animaux (éléphants, girafes …) Personnels très attentionnés. L’ensemble des repas (formule all inclusive) était d’une grande qualité (très bon cuisinier) Les deux safaris par jours sont magiques.

Amazing and authentic safari experience

10.0

Our stay at Imbali was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and always there to help The room was awesome, overlooking the river, with the occasional animal coming past! The plunge pool was welcome after a hot game drive too!!! Talking of game drives, big shout out to our guide Marc who was excellent, very knowledgeable and very friendly. Staying at the Imbali Lodge in Kruger was a genuinely amazing and authentic safari experience.

The Imbali Safari Lodge is a fantastic Kruger destination. The staff is super friendly and service is excellent. The tiki hut style rooms are very comfortable and include a nice 4 piece bathroom, privacy screened deck with plunge pool, lounge chairs, mosquito netted king bed, coffee and a fully stocked fridge. Food is excellent with buffet style breakfast and lunch. Dinner selections are served in courses and have been delicious. Game viewing from the main deck has been great as well. I have attached just a few game pics. Wonderful to enjoy a beverage while witnessing nature's wonders. The game drives are also a great experience. Victor, our driver always greets with a friendly smile and shares a wealth of knowledge. Couldn't hope for better!

Staff was excellent and the rooms are beautiful . Only complaint is the strength of the AC in the rooms.
