Lukimbi Safari Lodge - Kruger National Park
Lukimbi Safari Lodge is situated in a private concession area of the southern Kruger National Park. Overlooking a dry riverbed and waterhole, this sophisticated African-styled 5 star lodge offers outstanding game viewing in a spectacular wilderness setting. Lukimbi’s 15 000 hectares borders three river systems, ensuring a huge diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five.
Spectacular sunsets rim the seemingly endless horizon before twinkling stars fill the black sky, and the stillness is broken only by the sounds of the wild. Unwind in this pristine setting, and experience the romance of the bushveld in sumptuous comfort.
The central reception area of Lukimbi Safari Lodge provides breath taking views over the pristine bush, looking across the seasonal riverbed towards an open plain. With the building of the lodge, the idea was to bring as much of the outside to the inside as possible, so covered open decks flow naturally into the immaculately decorated main areas. Around every corner you will be surprised and delighted by the combination of culturally inspired décor and vast open spaces, a constant reminder that you are now in Africa!
Meals at this child friendly accommodation are always a special event - enjoy a breakfast in the heart of the bush, eat your fill at the most amazing and delectable lunch spread and indulge in quiet time with an intimate dinner in the wine cellar. To make your stay even more perfect, a full beauty treatment including reflexology and aromatherapy at the health spa will ensure complete relaxation.
With a fully equipped conference centre for up to 40 delegates, Lukimbi Safari Lodge is the ideal option to combine business with pure pleasure in Kruger National Park.

...read moreWe’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.
From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.
Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.
Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.
