Amazing and authentic safari experience
Our stay at Imbali was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and always there to help The room was awesome, overlooking the river, with the occasional animal coming past! The plunge pool was welcome after a hot game drive too!!! Talking of game drives, big shout out to our guide Marc who was excellent, very knowledgeable and very friendly. Staying at the Imbali Lodge in Kruger was a genuinely amazing and authentic safari experience.

The Imbali Safari Lodge is a fantastic Kruger destination. The staff is super friendly and service is excellent. The tiki hut style rooms are very comfortable and include a nice 4 piece bathroom, privacy screened deck with plunge pool, lounge chairs, mosquito netted king bed, coffee and a fully stocked fridge. Food is excellent with buffet style breakfast and lunch. Dinner selections are served in courses and have been delicious. Game viewing from the main deck has been great as well. I have attached just a few game pics. Wonderful to enjoy a beverage while witnessing nature's wonders. The game drives are also a great experience. Victor, our driver always greets with a friendly smile and shares a wealth of knowledge. Couldn't hope for better!

I can't say enough about this beautiful place and the beautiful people who work here! I don't normally stay at such nice places so my cousin and I enjoyed every minute - from eating lunch with an elephant herd and going on game drive with Julie to find wild dogs! So peaceful and I thank everyone who made our stay so special!

I had booked Imbali Safari Lodge for two nights and they overbooked the lodge the first night and made us go to the much smaller and less nice Hoyo Hoyo resort for one night and then TRANSFER back to Imbali Safari Lodge. No email or prior communication was given to me regarding this exchange. The lady Bunny was not at all helpful and rude. She told us to chase after a car heading to Hoyo Hoyo to find the place which was nowhere to be found. Finally, a nicer lady at the hotel got one of the staff to show us the way. This was totally inacceptable as I had booked specifically Imbali Safari Lodge which was MUCH nicer with a larger room/bathroom and outdoor terrace and mini pool. Aside from this incident, overall service was great, the food was good, the game rides were awesome and once we shifted to Imbali Safari Lodge, we enjoyed our (albeit now shortened) stay. I blame the Head Office for this last minute change without any communication mostly. I would have expected early communication and some sort of compensation for moving us to a crappier room/lodge when we paid for the larger/nicer one.

The Perfect stay
Everything about this lodge was perfect, From the safaris, the guides, the super friendly staff, high quality food, atmosphere and facilities, we had a view of the elephants, buffalo and impala everyday whilst having lunch. Highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back again. Saw the big 5 in the space of 4 game drives, lots of up close encounters, what a trip!
