The luxurious Imbali Lodge is nestled on the banks of the N’waswitsontso River within the private Mluwati concession. The concession, covering 10 000 hectares of pristine wilderness, is located in the central region of the world-renowned Kruger National Park. With only three lodges occupying the land, travelers are sure to have an exclusive safari experience.
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.
Imbali Safari Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families seeking an exclusive South African safari experience.
