We stayed 3 nights at the Imbali lodge in Kruger National Park. We arrived in the park through the Malelane Gate early and spent several hours driving around the south west seeing many animals. Be sure to watch the clock because it takes several hours to reach the Imbali and you must be off the roads by curfew. We were... More

I stayed at Imbali Safari lodge in April. It is a beautiful lodge. Good food, friendly staff, comfy cottage where Impalas & giraffes came visiting us. We really enjoyed the lodge. However safari drives were a bit disappointing. We spotted only 2 of the Big five (elephant & rhino). The guide mentioned that they need to really work hard to... More

We recently stayed at Imbali Safari Lodge in February 2013. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the lodge, the staff, the ambiance, and the elegant and comfortable decor. The game drives were fantastic and the guides were very knowledgeable. On one afternoon game drive, we stopped and the guides actually served us ice cream cones! We... More

Imbali is a private lodge situated on a concession within the Kruger National Park. I was a little nervous when I saw the negative reviews as we had chosen to stay here for the last two nights of our 5 day KNP trip hoping for some luxury and pampering. And we were told that the advertised bush walks were no... More

Our trip to Imbali safari lodge in February 2013 exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Pleasant and helpful staff, superb cuisine, amazing guides, and fantastic accommodations. We cannot say too much in praise of this place for a safari. Thoroughly recommended

We stayed for one night in January 2013 and would not recommend this lodge to anyone. The staff were rude on our arrival, our guide got lost on the evening safari resulting in us arriving back at the lodge at 10.30pm instead of 7.30pm which ruined dinner, and room number 8 where we stayed had banging pipes all night meaning...

We visited in October 2012.The rooms were large with a massive bed which looked like two king sized beds attached. This was sourrounded by a mosquito net. The bathroom was good and modern.We had a jacccuzi and two comfortable sunbeds with thatch shading overlooking the dry river bed.So far so good. The lodge experience however was way below par due...

Stayed at Imbali for 3 nights in early December. Wonderful setting and staff so friendly and helpful. Our game ranger, Nicholas, was an excellent guide for our morning and evening game drives. Very knowledgeable and an excellent host. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and would well recommend Imbali to others. We stayed the same time as Pabirds below... More

Stayed here with my daughter for 3 nights during the first week of December 2012. A safari employee picked us up in a clean van at Hoedspruit Airport and the roughly 2-hour drive to the lodge essentially became our first safari. The driver was happy to stop along the way to view the many animals en route. He also dropped... More
