Game Lodges Mpumalanga

Why You Should Visit One of the Luxury Game Lodges In Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga is one of the most sought-after provinces in South Africa, and the reason for this revolves around the fact that the Kruger National Park takes up a large share of this province. People from all over the world flock to this game reserve to experience African wildlife in a natural habitat, and to appreciate the high concentration of the Big Five, which you cannot easily encounter anywhere else in one trip.

There are a lot of accommodation options in the Kruger National Park, but for the best experience, experts recommend that you stay at one of the private game lodges in Mpumalanga. In the Kruger National Park, some land has been set aside for private concessions, and some seriously luxurious lodges have been built here. Lukimbi Lodge is one of these wonderful establishments that provide the most sought-after accommodation options in game lodges around Mpumalanga.

There are many reasons that game lodges in Mpumalanga are so sought-after, and these include the following:

Ambience: Most of the game lodges in Mpumalanga have a distinct African feel. While it is easy to get the African feel by staying in a tent in a rest camp, not many people are prepared for the inconveniences of catering for themselves. The highly exclusive game lodges in Mpumalanga are famous for providing their guests with the best of everything, including world class cuisine to private balconies with pools overlooking the wild terrain below.
Weather: Because the weather in this province is great practically all year round, it is easy to visit during all seasons. During the summer, it can be hot, but cooling swimming pools and air conditioning make it pleasant. In the winter, the days are pleasant, and the nights can be frosty, but it only takes a crackling fire to warm up and relax.
Wildlife: The game lodges in Mpumalanga are famous for being able to enter privately owned land within the Kruger National Park and other areas. This means that the guests staying at these lodges have a greater chance of encountering wildlife off the beaten path, and also to experience a much richer experience.
Cuisine: Game lodges in Mpumalanga are famous for the outstanding cuisine and fresh, creative dishes they conjure up with local, seasonal produce. From crocodile tail or guinea fowl, to zebra or vegetable stews, they cater to just about any taste and preference, even when dietary requirements apply.

If you are looking for a unique experience at one of the wonderful game lodges in Mpumalanga, come to Lukimbi Lodge. We are happy to provide you with the most outstanding experience ever!
