Welcome, Welkom, Wamkelekile, Siyakwemukela to South Africa!
Upon landing at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA), you are warmly welcomed by a PRADD representative who assists with all formalities. From here, a private transfer takes you into the southern Kruger bush, a region of golden savannahs, rocky outcrops, and rich wildlife, where tranquility and wilderness set the tone for the days ahead.
At Lukimbi Safari Lodge, your Classic Suite offers a private deck overlooking the bush, elegant interiors, and a heated plunge pool. Later, enjoy your first afternoon game drive, where your ranger introduces you to the rhythms of the bush and its iconic inhabitants — elephants, lions, rhinos, and plains game.
Rise early for a sunrise game drive, when the bush awakens with activity. Witness predators on the move, herds gathering at waterholes, and birds filling the air with song. Return to the lodge to relax by your plunge pool, enjoy a spa treatment, or simply soak in the serene surroundings.
Your afternoon game drive takes you through fresh landscapes, offering new wildlife encounters. Each safari is unique, revealing different perspectives of this untouched wilderness.
Another day to embrace the rhythm of the bush: morning game drive, leisurely afternoon at the lodge, sundowners on your deck, and a final late afternoon drive to watch the sunset cast its glow over the savannah. Optional bush breakfasts or private dinners can be arranged to enhance your safari experience.
