Lukimbi Safari Lodge – Kruger National Park – Big 5 – 5 Star

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.

    Nights:



    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.

    Facts

    Animals: Big 5
    Province: Mpumalanga
    Game Reserve: Kruger National Park
    Star: 5 Star

    Destination: Lukimbi Safari Lodge is situated in South Africa, in the province of Mpumalanga. We are easily accessible via air (just 1 hour’s flight from Johannesburg, and just over 2 hours from Cape Town), as well as by road. .

    Accommodation:

    Lukimbi is one of only 7 private concessions within Kruger National Park, and at 15 000 hectares is one of the largest. It is located in the southern section of the park, and is  bounded by 3 major river systems. The concession offers a diverse array of habitats, including grasslands, wooded thickets, savannahs, drainage lines, dry river beds, rolling hills and lush riverine thickets. It stands to reason that a healthy abundance of wildlife – including the Big Five and a host of other animals big and small – finds home here.
    In the east, the Lebombo mountains form a distinctive ridge. Granite underlies more than 80% of the southern section, and produces the characteristic rounded koppies that punctuate this section of the reserve.
    In its sheltered valleys you’ll come upon trees which are rare elsewhere in Kruger – including the Cape chestnut, white pear, coral tree, lavender fever-berry and mountain seringa. Teak, wild olive and Transvaal beech also grow here.
    As a private concession, Lukimbi’s visitors are treated to the best of the national public reserve in a highly personalised way. No more than 32 guests at a time enjoy unlimited and exclusive sightings as vehicles are permitted to traverse off road in a highly controlled manner.
