What to Bring

  • Comfortable closed walking shoes and a hat.
  • A warm jersey and jacket in winter months.

  • Swimming costume/Bathing suit.
  • Prophylactic drugs as prescribed by your doctor, as this is a malaria area.

We do have a well stocked curio shop, where you can buy a wide variety of items.

Special Precautions

We are in a malaria risk area and therefore all beds are covered by mosquito nets. Each suite is provided with insect repellent, which should be used especially in the evenings. It is necessary that you consult a doctor before visiting any such area.

Guests often forget the strength of the African sun, so please make sure that you wear a high factor sunscreen and hat and make sure you don't lie outside in the sun for too long.

Weather

Summer: September to April

The Southern Kruger National Park area is fairly dry with summer rain, falling between the months of October and April. ±500mm (20 inches) per year.

Temperatures in summer range between 20°C to 39°C (68-102F), and up 42°C on an unusually hot day (good swimming weather).

Evenings cool down as there is an influence from the not too distant Indian Ocean. During the infrequent rainy spells, it can be cool.

Winter: May to August

Days are pleasant, evenings are cool to cold, especially when on an open vehicle.

Temperatures range between 10°C to 29°C (14-84F) with very little or no rain.

Lukimbi is situated only 240m (787 feet) above sea level.
