"What a wonderful lodge. From the very first minute, we felt right at home—thanks to the warm welcome from owner Thabita and the cozy, inviting atmosphere throughout the lodge. Our room was beautiful, featuring a bathtub, a shower, an outdoor "bush shower," and hot tub and a view overlooking the waterhole. Every meal, crafted with a special twist by chef/owner Tino, completely blew us away. We absolutely loved all the game drives in the Big Five reserve (Greater Kruger). And, after visiting...

MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge

MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our time at Milima. We were welcomed so friendly and professionally by Talia and Jack and Hansen the dog. First impressions of Milima was wow! We got there late afternoon but was given a game drive, where we saw loads of animals. We got back in time for pre dinner drinks, the selection of which were amazing, Sweetness made a great cocktail. Dinner that evening was a Bomu presented by the chef, which was fantastic, we overlooked the waterhole too which was an added bonus. The tent accommodation was great with everything you could need, coffee and tea, toiletries, amazingly comfortable beds and even a hairdryer and straighteners! The air con was also a welcome addition. The tent was kept very clean. The game drives were brilliant, our driver was Clement and he was very knowledgeable and made the drives really interesting. The food was incredible, cooked to perfection and served with amazing wines. Talia and Jack couldn’t do enough for you and we all felt very spoilt. We absolutely loved Milima and hope to return one day."
