We stayed at Imbali for 3 nights and had a lovely stay here. The lodge is very nice, the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated and the private jacuzzi gives an extra luxury touch, but there should be an on-off switch so it could be switched off when not in use. The food was excellent and it is a perfect... More

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Imbali! A very nice and cozy hotel with great staff, charming rooms and good food. A highlight was the early morning safaris with our knowledgeable rangers. We saw all the Big 5 and spotted many, many more animals. Ending a busy day with dinner and drinks on the patio overlooking the river bed... More

We were disappointed by the lodge but loved being in the Kruger, the amazing animal density in the Satara - Orpen area as well as its diversity. We disliked the lack of attention to detail at the lodge, it needed a good springclean, it was scruffy and also needed a good maintenance inspection. The staff openly touted for personal tips...

Me and 18 more friends stayed two nights at Imbali. We were very gladly surprised and amazed since the very first moment. The care of the staff with us was such a high point, African people. The rooms were fantastic, but my jacuzzi was not working. For me there was no problem because I could bath at someone else´s room.... More

We stayed at imbali for 3 nights when we were at Kruger national park. The minute we entered the place, we knew we had chosen right. The lounge area, the swimming pool, dining with their mahogany wood furniture and animal artifacts were simply fabulous. Our cottage was cozy, all done up in wood with a private deck i overlooking a... More

Imbali was the second place we flew into for our visit to Kruger National Park. The decor was very different, and I think it needs a little more care than it has had over the years. Our room was very nice but not as clean as I would have liked. The animals on the roof at night made for a... More

This was out first lodge out of three we stayed at. The rooms. entrance , lobby and pool, dining area are just magic. There is a warm jacuzzi for each room which was most welcome in winter. Drives were good although rangers had to double as trackers and guides and did not carry firearms. Our second guide could be a... More

The Imbali Lodge is by far the best hotel i have ever stayed. Is kind of a boutique hotel located in a private reserve on Kruger National Park. On your arrival you are received by almost all the staff of the hotel including de manager an owner. You are attended with traditional drinks and lots of attention. In front of... More
