We chose the location of Lukimbi Safari Lodge very carefully, for it was critical that the extraordinary magic of the reserve was fully appreciated whether out in the bush on safari or from the sanctuary of the lodge itself. When we came upon a clearing under a cluster of ancient trees in front of a naturally fed spring, with the most beautiful view along the bank of the Lwakahle River, we knew we had found home. Whether on your own private deck, at the pool, at the bar or in the dining room, the animals are never far…

Your own private safari experience within one of the planet’s most renowned protected areas – The Kruger National Park. 15000 hectares is a significant space for the enjoyment of just 32 people, and this is ultimately what makes the Lukimbi experience unique. This, along with the fact that your safari is as exciting from the lodge as it is out on game drive. There is something for everybody, including the prized Big Five, and countless other wild bird, reptile and mammal species.

Each of our 16 Luxury Suites has been designed to optimize the view, be that of the bush or of the river. Whether travelling with friends, as a family, alone or as a couple, space has been cleverly planned to ensure as private or sociable an experience as you please. In-room, every creature comfort has been considered, including pure cotton linen, deluxe amenities and in-room treats & beverages.

Being on safari is a wonderful way to bring loved ones together, forging deeper connections and creating lasting memories. We are well versed in the art of the Family Safari, be that for youngsters or multigenerational gatherings. Lukimbi is one of the only lodges in the vicinity which accepts children from the age of 2, and our kiddies menu of activities & food, along with our family-friendly accommodations means that parents can fully relax in our care.

Whether tying the knot, being on honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary or simply exploring the adventure of life together, the romance of an African safari is timeless. Our Luxury Suites are utterly private, and there is no limit to the number of ways to enjoy one another’s company, be that in a private wine cellar dinner, enjoying a spa treatment for two, or simply relaxing out at the pool overlooking the river. Private safaris are also available for those who prefer to be completely alone.

For the best of both worlds, we have designed combination 4 and 5 night safari packages including the excitement of the high impact Sabi Sand safari where Big Five sightings are almost guaranteed to be ticked off the checklist, and the deeper more personal wilderness experience on the huge and unpopulated concession that is Lukimbi. Our Beach & Bush package includes an idyllic Mozambican Island getaway.
