We just returned from a 3 week trip to South Africa. We spent 3 nights at Impodimo and 2 nights at Morukuru (see review) on the opposite side of Madikwe. I have very mixed feelings about our visit to Impodimo. Impodimo is a very small, romantic safari lodge with 8 gorgeous chalets. Upon arrival, we were very impressed with the... more

Our two night stay at Impodimo Game Lodge was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone. The staff and in particular Chris, the Guide and Michelle, the Manager were so helpful and went out of their way to make our short stay special. It was quite an experience to be escorted to our room by an armed guide. Our... more

Just returned from our honeymoon in SA which included a 4 night stay in Impodimo...what a place! I've been to Kruger before and this was a far superior experience - unlike Kruger, they don't let people drive their own cars around in Madikwe so everyone was with a ranger which meant the animals were treated with far more respect. Impodimo... more

After much research, and help from other members from the Trip Adviser Forum, I chose Impodimo Lodge for the first part of a safari with my 13 year old daughter. And we are so glad that we did. Within 24 hours we saw the Big Five, which made us feel very privileged. We enjoyed the daily visit to our pool... more

My wife and I have just returned to Scotland after spending 18 days holiday in SA. Part our visit was spent at the Impodimo Game Lodge at Madikwe Game Reserve. The visit was sensational and we will always remember the friendship of the staff. Accomodation was superb and the food excellent. The wine cellar is excellent and incredibly cheap. The... more

As a fairly new member (but avid reader) of Trip Advisor, I feel compelled to write about my very recent experience at Impodimo. I live in Cape Town and was originally a tour operator who became a chef. About a year ago I decided to plan a special surprise 40th birthday trip for my brother (and family) who lives in... more

We had a family of 10 adults plus one child stay for 3 days on our first safari experience and we were blown away by the accommodation, the way we were looked after and the food. Wayne and Travis were our rangers and they ensured we saw all the animals we wanted to see including the rare sight of a... more

We stayed at the lodge for 4 days as part of our honeymoon. We flew to the game reserve in a charter plane which was a great beginning to our trip. Our guide Chris met us on the landing strip and drove us to the lodge. Our lodge was amazing, with a stand alone bath, indoor & ourdoor shower, beautiful... more

Just amazing

My girlfriend and i stayed here for three nights in early December. Having never been on safari before, and not knowing much about Madikwe, we had no real idea what to expect. We had nothing to fear though - it was one of the most memorable trips of our lives. The accommodation is superb, the staff are fantastic and the... more
