Stories Of The Kruger | Imbali Safari Lodge | Kruger Park
Imbali Safari Lodge is situated in a beautiful area full of Sausage and Jackalberry trees. This picturesque lodge is in the Mluwati Private Game Reserve. The Mluwati is a concession made up of 10 000 hectares and can be accessed via the S36/S145, which is roughly in-between Tshokwane and Talamati Bushveld Camp. It is close to the border of the Manyeleti Private Game Reserve and concession.
The Imbali Safari Lodge is part of the Greater Kruger National Park. The Greater Kruger encompasses all the Private Game Reserves that used to border the Park. Now it is a fence-free zone, allowing all sorts of animals to move freely between all the reserves and the Kruger Park. This means that animals can expand their territory or roam around areas that may have more vegetation and water during certain times of the year.
