We liked everything, it is hard to know where to start! I already miss the place and feel like I might need to return very soon! Firstly Reuben (the Ranger) and Sam (the tracker) were the DREAM TEAM. They were both professional, personable, polite, knowledgeable and would always go the extra mile to give guests an amazing experience. The game drives were twice a day for 3-4 hours each (morning and evening) and we saw a plethora of animals. Every game drive was different and it was great not knowing what spectacular sight we would see each time we went out. We had 14 game drives! We watched the animal engaging in various different behaviours and had opportunities to learn about all of the animals. The coffee in the morning and the sundowners in the evening were brilliant - a range of snacks were offered in a tiffin box with a great variety of drinks also being offered. The service at the lodge was impeccable, all staff incredibly friendly and efficient. The food was out of this world, plenty of choices and very well presented. They cater to various diets with aplomb. The massages that I had with Kitty were glorious, just the right pressure, she was very friendly and warm. She let me know when the elephants were passing the Sala where the massages took place - really quite unforgettable. The rooms were exceptionally clean and equipped with everything you might need for your stay; full mini bar, snacks and tea and coffee. The room had an amazing bathroom with both bath and shower. We stayed in Lodge Number 1 and we had an amazing view of the waterhole where we saw the full range of animals which was awesome. The elephant hide was fantastic, equipped with all the refreshments that you would want and we got within 3 feet of an elephant drinking at the waterhole. All in all, an unforgettable experience! Don't think about it, just book it!

Fabulous stay from beginning to end. The lodges are beautiful, food excellent and amazing hospitality. The game drives were incredible - a big thank you to our ranger Reuben and tracker Sam. We would definitely love to make a return visit.

Everything about our experience was brilliant. The staff was outstanding and so helpful as my husband has walking issues. Every enquiry before we arrived was answered promptly. Blythe in the office and Lyne (I think that was her name) were so charming and made us feel so welcome and always there to assist.
We loved the location and our room with its wonderful raised terrace. It was magical. The food and the presentation was excellent. I am vegetarian and there were always good and tasty choices at each meal. Our driver, Ruben and our tracker were brilliant and professional and we saw everything it was possible to see and more! They were always patience and answered all our questions, however stupid! Our room had basin taps that would not turn, but I understand that a refurbishment is due. That is the only reason I dropped my evaluation. No other.

We have been to many Safari lodges in South Africa, however, Impodimo has been hands down the best Safari lodge we have experienced. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and organised.
Everyone went out of their way to ensure we had the best possible stay with them. The service was amazing. Our guide Ruben and tracker Sam were incredible and made our viewings of the big five (and much more!) a memorable experience. They were both incredibly informative and happily answered our many questions.
There were many small touches which made our stay at Impodimo very special. Our lodge was gorgeous. It was incredibly clean and had all we needed.
Last but no way least, the food was faultless. Impodimo put on a spectacular breakfast, high tea, and three course dinner. Even the snacks on the game drive were top tier.
We can’t wait to visit again!

Emerging from a "health blackhole" Impodimo is the absolute desirable light in the tunnel to ensure that you start your journey to recuperate. We found that no request we possibly had were a bridge too far for the staff and this includes all staff.
all expectations were met and beyond.

The lodge is beautiful and the game drives were absolutely amazing. Ruben (ranger) and Sam (tracker) really made our visit unforgettable. We had the best 'picknick' sunrises and Sam made sure we found all the animals we could wish for.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! I don’t know where to start. Firstly, my dad and I were welcomed straight away as soon as we drove into the lodge. The staff were so lovely and greeted us so warmly. We were then briefed by a lovely gentleman who gave us an understanding on what to expect on our stay, including times of drives and safety around the lodge. We then got directed to our lodge, which again was breathtaking. So cosy and amazing views of the surroundings. The maids were amazing and visited 2/3 times a day, keeping our lodge tidy which was so lovely of them, making our beds morning and night and even left little bed time stories to read at night with some sweet treats. The food was not stop flowing with high quality produce, amazing flavours and perfect presentation! (Definitely put a few pounds on but so worth it :D). Finally, a massive shoutout to our driver and assistant, Meri and Culture!!! You both made the whole experience. Both very knowledgeable, full of character and always willing to answer questions and give you the full safari experience! We can’t thank all the staff enough for a life times/bucket list holiday. Impodimo is the place to stay. We will definitely be returning in the winter month to see the different season and more wildlife! Neil and Sian x

Rooms beautiful
Loved the stories left on the bed every night
Staff are amazing
The Elephant Hide is beautiful
The Pillows on the bed are not very comfortable
Not that we never liked it, but I think the high tea should be served earlier, as by the time you get back from the game drive and snacking you not very hungry for the delicious dinner

Amazing little camp! Staff are amazing and extremely accommodating. We have specific dietary needs and these were planned for and we were very grateful.
Food was more than we were used to, but some requests to management resolved this and we were happy with the outcome!

The food was excellent, the choices as well as presentation.
The staff, led by Kevin and Simone bent over backwards to accommodate us in whichever way they could.
The attention to detail in everything was oustanding.
Kevin, our game ranger and Culture, our tracker were super stars and always went out of their way to accommodate everyone as far as they could
