Imbali Safari lodge at Mulwati
Imbalai Safari Lodge is located in a private concession within the Kruger National Parl. Strategically positioned along wildlife movement paths, Imbali Safari Lodge offers guests an exclusive opportunity to relax in luxury while viewing elephant, buffalo, and antelope pass by. Imbali Safari Lodge exudes old-world charm and beautifully marries tradition with nature in its design elements of thatch, stone columns, and timber. Imbali Safari Lodge overlooks the seasonal Nwaswitsontso river. Each of the 12 luxurious suites boast a private plunge pool and viewing deck. The main lodge features a swimming pool, executive-style lounge with a cozy fireplace as well as an expansive timber dining deck and outdoor lounge. In-house spa treatments can be savoured in the comfort of your personal suite.
The Mluwati Private Concession is home to Imbali Safari Lodge and another two spectacular safari lodges, Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge and Hamiltons Tented Camp. Known for 10 000 hectares of off-the-beaten-track land, its superior Big 5 habitat boasts some of the best game viewing in South Africa. With limited guests, you can be assured of uncrowded wildlife sightings and great photographic opportunities. The rivers running through the reserve make it a drawing card for animals to remain in the area for a drink and attract a variety of birdlife. Expert safari guides endeavour to provide guests with the best wildlife sightings on every occasion. Guests can enjoy an exciting off-roading safari experience and embark on twice daily safaris in specialized safari vehicles. Also experience the splendour of African nature en foot with a professional guide.
