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.

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 natural fed spring, with the most beautiful view along the bank of the Lwakahle River, we knew we had found home.
It took 2 years for us to build our lodge, which we constructed ourselves out of natural materials to blend subtly into the surrounding environment, but to also leave a very light footprint on the earth. In among the marula trees, sweetthorn acacias, knobthorns and bushwillows lining the water,it made sense to build a lodges on stilts with many carved concrete panels. These panels are a feature throughout the lodge. Every room and living space was designed around the view, while latticed ceilings filter the sun’s dappled light, casting ambient shifting shadows as the sun moves across the sky. This Lodge is one with the environment, and you can feel it.
Lukimbi has a character of its own – warm, inviting, charmingly imperfect and a little quirky too. Bright and richly textured natural fabrics, bold furniture chosen for comfort and artisanal crafted artworks encourage proper relaxation where you’re invited to make yourself completely at home – be that in the lounge, the bar, the dining room or one of the relaxation alcoves on the upper or lower deck, or in the library. The pool area is a place of serenity, right on the bank of the Lwakahle River. It includes multi-leveled relaxation decks, with a pool overlooking the river. A children’s paddle pool is close by.
We welcomed our first guests in October 2002.
Lukimbi’s 16 Suites (14 Classic Suites and 2 Premier Suites) all flank the Lwakahle River and have their own private views of the bush. We planned them carefully to allow for privacy, whether you are travelling as a family, a group of friends, a couple, or on your own.
Suites are connected to the main lodge via raised wooden walkways, which lend itself to the lodge’s atmosphere of being elevated among the trees. Guests who have difficulty walking should request the units closer to the main facilities, as the more remote units are a bit of a distance away. Both Classic and Premier Suites may be converted to accommodate families.
Lukimbi has one suite which has been adapted to cater for disabled guests who are wheelchair bound.

Guests Reviews
What an incredible holiday with African Safaris Direct!
We booked a 2 weeks holiday with Max from African Safaris Direct and we were not disappointed. Max was available around the clock to answer all our questions and take our many calls. He even came up with many wonderful ideas to help us plan our holiday of a life time! Our African safari included four countries, we were blown away to see our itinerary being executed by professional individuals and all services were delivered on time and in the best possible way. Our drivers and guides were first class and we loved the African bush barbeque at our safari lodge, you should try it! Thank you Max for a memorable safari, we will most certainly be back in Africa soon.

Amazing experience, Namibia is my favorite!
Max Saidy put together a fantastic itinerary, we hired a car and explored all the different parts and highlights of Namibia. We loved Sossusvlei and Etosha, I still can’t believe the beautiful yet wild landscape. We are planning to return next year so we can visit Botswana and South Africa. Thank you Max for your great advice, your recommendations were spot on!

We were really impressed…..Andy is wonderful!
My husband & I are experienced travelers, when we wanted to visit Botswana and Victoria Falls we didn’t know where to start. I reached out to African Safaris Direct online and within 20 minutes, I received a call to confirm receipt of my request. The phone call went on for 45 minutes where I interrogated Andy and I asked all the questions I had in order to understand the ins and outs of our itinerary 🙂
Our holiday was incredible and I highly recommend Andy Saidy and African Safaris Direct.
