Polokwane - Imbali Safari Lodge is nestled amid a canopy of Jackalberry and Tamboti trees on the banks of the seasonal Nwaswitsontso River.
The lodge is located within the private 10 000ha concession of Mluwati in the western region of the Kruger National Park.
From the comfort of Imbali’s deck, you can watch the striking Golden Orb spider spinning her web, Burchell’s starlings pecking at a wayward cobra and squirrels dashing past with their titbits.
Plush leather sofas, African tapestries and artefacts fight for their place of pride amid thatched Tsonga roofs, stone columns and the odd tree that emerges unapologetically through the teak deck.
Food is a priority at Imbali, starting with early morning teas and coffees, a breakfast buffet, lunch, high tea and a delectable dinner, possibly served on your private deck under the stars.
Safaris take you to some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, bird life and plant life within the Mluwati Concession. After a day’s memorable bush experiences, all that’s left is to retire to your comfortable room where the reassuring sound of the crickets and frogs will lull you to sleep.
