Its a place where you can forget the world. The room is super romantic. The food is personalized. The safari ranger is so well trained that you will relish your safaris for life. In the midst of the jungle, this lodge is a luxury. But yes, you got to pay a hefty price to enjoy this life time experience as... More

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

The staff, the location of the lodge, the ambience, the decor of the rooms and the lodge over all was near perfect. The rooms were really awesome. the service very meticulous, the shower,... 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
