Wonderful as ever

Pros: We love it here, just the perfect location for a stay in Kruger. The rooms and facilities are great along with the staff, food and drives.

Pros: It was the best place I have ever been to. I did not expect such service. All the staff was very friendly. All the staff were like best friends who were constantly worried about us. There were more staff than guests in the lodge. The food was very tasty. The Internet worked reliably and we watched youtube. The Lodge area is very cozy and large. We did not think about anything and enjoyed being in this place. The safari was also great.

Pros: L'atmosfera di tranquillità e relax, mentre si è immersi nella natura. Il panorama apertissimo sulla valle e sul fiume, in cui vengono ad abbeverarsi mandrie di bufali e in cui si immergono gli ippopotami. La cortesia e la disponibilità del personale.

Cons: Niente

Un service clients impeccable

Pros: C'est ma fille qui a séjourné au lodge. Elle a été trés satisfaite de l'accueil, du service et de la nourriture. Les vues depuis le lodge sont belles . Les chambres spacieuses. Les safaris ont été bien menés. Elle a bénéficié d'un massage extraordinaire. Pour ma part j'ai réellement apprécié l'excellente réactivité du lodge lorsque j'ai réservé à la dernière minute en demandant des services supplémentaires. Les réponses ont été instantanées et trés professionnelles.

Cons: Lukimbi offre une attention aux clients irréprochable qui vient balancer la déco un peu datée. A mon sens les prix devraient être alignés sur ceux du lodge concurrent situé dans la même zone. Je suis certaine que leur taux de remplissage serait plus élevé avec ce petit ajustement.

Our stay was simply excellent, offering a warm and homely ambiance with friendly and courteous staff

Pros: James and Penny, the skilled trackers, made sure we had the incredible opportunity to witness all of the Big 5 and even more fascinating wildlife. The bush walk they guided us through was not only informative but also filled with captivating insights. The level of service provided by Shelly, Emma, and Gloria were exceptional; they truly went above and beyond to ensure our time at the lodge was both enjoyable and safe. A highlight of our stay was the unforgettable Boma night, where we indulged in a delectable array of meats, including the renowned malva pudding. Without a doubt, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Cons: None.
