Lukimbi is a stunning Five Star luxury lodge situated in the easily accessible southern portion of the Kruger National Park, South Africa. The Kruger Park is home to the Big Five and a wide variety of other animals and birds, which roam freely in their natural habitat.
Twice daily game drives by day and by night with informative rangers are offered on the private roads in open Land Rovers. Alternatively, guests can take guided walks or relax in the magnificent lodge. The safaris take place on over 37,000 acres of exclusive use, prime game and wilderness area.
Raised wooden walkways lead guests to just 16 spacious and sumptuous suites, all combining luxury and modern African decor with stunning river views. The ultra luxurious Giant Eagle Owl Suite and King Cheetah Suite also have a private pool, dining room and second bathroom.
All suites are air-conditioned, have overhead fans, guest safes, mini bars, as well as tea and coffee facilities. Private decks leading out towards the river provide the ideal place to relax or enjoy bird spotting and game viewing in peace and tranquility.
Lukimbi has already created a name for itself as one of the new places to enjoy top cuisine. Meals both unusual and beautifully presented add to the whole enjoyable Lukimbi experience. Part of the fun is the changing of venues, so guests may enjoy breakfast in the bush, lunch round the pool and a glamorous candlelit dinner on the wooden decks. Maybe dinner will be in the amazing and mythical boma (or meeting place), an experience you won't forget, or perhaps their chefs will decide to do something completely different.
The bar is a great pre-dinner gathering place to exchange game spotting stories, hear Shangaan tales and to sip cocktails. To accompany the fine dining, there is a large cellar where guests are invited to select the best of South African wines, including many of the smaller and upcoming Estates.
