5 Star Hotels in Timbavati Game Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park

"We LOVED our stay at Imbali Safari Lodge! We stayed three nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The food was incredible, the entire staff wonderful- shout out to Winston! Our lodge was lovely; private and so very comfortable. The 2 included safari drives a day were exciting and informative, thanks to our exceptional guide, Morne. I would recommend Imbali for a couple looking for value with romantic, traditional decor and warm and friendly staff to take care for you on your Kruger Park visit. "

"The first thing to note was that I was not informed that my room would not be near the lodge. As a solo traveler, that would’ve been very important information to know that I am not near any help if I needed it. In addition, One cannot just leave the log their lodging because you’re located in a nature reserve and it isn’t safe so you’re pretty much a prisoner at your room and you are dependent on somebody picking you up in order to get you somewhere the room itself was fine. The airport shuttle worked perfectly. The staff was hit or miss. The person in charge, Musa, was a very odd fellow. He seemed to stare and was very slow to both move and respond to questions. He did not make me feel at ease in any way, and in my opinion, should definitely not be the face of your property. The rest of the staff, while friendly, were not particularly professional. They asked personal questions and their English was not very good."

"What a spectacular place!!! We cannot recommend it highly enough!"
