We were in South Africa, based in Johannesburg, with plans to do a photo safari in Sabi Sands. Unfortunately the day before heading to Sabi Sands the cyclone hit Kruger. We were told that bridges had been washed out and we would not be able to get to our lodge. We scrambled and were able to get last minute accommodations... More

Our family stayed 4 nights at Impodimo in late November and had an exceptional experience. Madikwe is a private game park only about 4 hrs drive from Jo'Burg and is large and uncrowded. The lodge is as beautiful as seen in the photos - natural features and gorgeous rooms. The family suite is the pick of the rooms - two... More

The staff was exceptional and no request was to much trouble. Personal private romantic dinners and well experienced game rangers and trackers (ask for Patrick & Holiday) made our stay very special. An authentic African Safari experience in luxury. More

We stayed 2 nights in Impodimo on Sept 2010 and we loved this place. Kruger is much more known game reserve but Madikwe is the one that local people goes & suggests. We are happy that we chose Impodimo; the stuff & accomodation was very nice. We saw all Big 5 and we had a chance to watch 6 lions... More

Great Lodge! Great Rangers and spotters!!! We spent 3 nights at Impodimo that have made us fall in love with SA and game viewing! Very nice people in a non-pretencious lodge. Saw all Big 5, we were only a metre apart from a Lion. Impressive!!! Highly recomended!!! More

After staying on the both the East and West side (where our favorite lodge is) of the reserve, we thought we'd try heading a little farther South to Impodimo. We had a fantastic stay here and the staff and accommodations were superb!!! Everything I read (all the positives) was true and we loved this lodge. The only downfall for us,... More

We took our advice from our friends who just moved to joburg, if you know the way, the drive from Joburg to here is about 3.5 hours, if not it could take about 4-5 hours. When making reservation, get direction from the lodge. We were in a group of 6 adults and 1 child, so took lodges. We greeted upon... More

Having been to many of the lodges in Madikwe, we were really impressed with Impodimo. The lodge itself, the staff and (most importantly) the ranger and his tracker were excellent. I mention the ranger and his tracker because they are an integral part of your stay. Impodimo is one of the few lodges that make use of trackers to assist... More

All the good things you will read about this wonderful place are absolutely true. It is simply stunning.

After one night in Pilanesburg, a friend and I from Joburg drove onward for a night at Impodimo in Madikwe. We should never have stopped in Pilanesburg because the drive to Impodimo all in one day would have been worth it! We both loved this welcoming and "fells like home" property. Our room was a perfect little cottage with a... More
