About Lukimbi Safari Lodge

Exclusive five-star lodge which will make your African dreams come true
Lukimbi Safari Lodge is a stunning luxury safari lodge situated in the southern portion of the Kruger National Park. The area in which it is located is heavily wooded and interspersed with lush riverine thickets. The sheer wilderness of the area is breathtaking. There are vehicle tracks for Landrovers to traverse on for game drives but many areas remain in a pristine state and can only be explored on foot. The lodge was built with the idea of bringing as much of the outside to the inside as possible, so the built areas blend naturally into the surroundings.

Activities

There are two game drives daily in open Landrovers. Guides work with Shangaan trackers to get the best sightings. Bush walks at Lukimbi are wonderful, because it is so large and unspoiled. Full day walking safaris are offered during the cooler winter months. Golfers can play a game at Leopard Creek, one of the finest courses in the world. Guests can also swim and gym.
