| Carved from the hillside, eight glass fronted luxury
chalets line a natural spring, each enjoying striking views either from
within or from the outdoor shower. The lodge enjoys spectacular vistas
extending as far as the eye can see, your choice may be to visit in
summer and laze on the pool deck with a chilled chardonnay. Or maybe a
winter safari - retire to the library with a cognac or stoke the fire
in your suite, gaze out at the stars before drifting away with vivid
images of unrestricted close encounters with Africa's big game. |

Rise in the morning to an African dawn and enjoy an early morning game drive with your dedicated professional ranger. Relax as your ranger guides you through the bush on a custom made open Landrover, searching out the Big 5 or the smaller secrets of nature. Set out on a foot safari with your armed ranger and learn the secrets of tracking African game or just enjoy the trees, birds and stunning scenery. Return from the excitement of the bush to a sumptuous breakfast or brunch and then relax at the pool or the sala overlooking the waterhole where game may come to quench their thirst. In the afternoon, when the heat of the African sun has diminished and the shadows are longer, head out again on a sundowner safari, where you will stop to watch the sun set on this bushveld paradise and enjoy your favorite sundowner drink.
Once the sun has set and darkness descends, set off again for a night safari where the more nocturnal creatures now rule the bush. Return to the lodge where you will be treated to the finest Pan-African cuisine with your hosts in the open air boma, and share your days adventures, while you enjoy a night cap around the fire. This is a typical day here at Impodimo where your safari experience will unfold. All our rangers are highly qualified and experienced, and undergo regular evaluations and ongoing training to ensure that they are up to our very high standards. |

Game Drives
Rise in the morning to an African dawn and enjoy an early morning game
drive with your dedicated professional ranger and tracker. Relax as
your ranger guides you through the bush on a custom made open Land
Rover searching out the secrets of nature. In the afternoon, when the
heat of the African sun has diminished and the shadows are longer, head
out on a sundowner safari to watch the sun set on this bushveld
paradise and go in search of the more nocturnal creatures that now rule
the bush.
Bushwalks
Set out on a bush walk with your armed ranger and learn
the art of tracking African game, enjoy the trees, birds and stunning
scenery
Trackers
Impodimo has the advantage out during the safaris, in that we have
talented trackers on each game viewer that assists the ranger in
finding the animals. Trackers make an immense difference as they have
the ability to see and read the signs of the bush that others might
have missed.
Children on Safari
Children of all ages are welcome at Impodimo and we love to go out of
our way to ensure that kids and parents both have an unforgettable
safari experience. Our kiddies program is tailored to the different
ages and can be fun and educational for all. Each child receives a
personalized welcome pack with goodies and activities to do in between
safaris. Children over the age of 6 years are welcome on the game
drives, however, families with younger children need not fear that
their kids will miss out, as we offer a ‘kiddies
bumble’ which is shorter and aimed at keeping the little
one’s attention.
Dining
Enjoy a sumptuous brunch at the pool lapa on return from your morning
game drive, high tea in the afternoon overlooking the African Bush and
the finest Pan-African cuisine with your hosts in the open air boma and
share your adventures while you enjoy a night cap around the fire.
In our cooler winter months, we offer our guests the opportunity to
explore the other side of the park with the ranger and tracker. Spend a
day out in the bush, stopping for a picnic lunch in the shade.
Massage Treatments
A day in the bush is not complete without an in room massage treatment
out on your private deck by one of our experienced massage therapists.
In other news, Impodimo has renovated their sala and completed
construction of their new sunk in elephant hide, adding further value
to this already spectacular offering.
Impodimo is well known for its awesome game drives, led by top guides
with Shangaan trackers. This combination has resulted in years of world
class game viewing experiences for their guests. The lodge, with its
unpretentious luxury, is unfenced and guests are immersed in the
wildlife experience. Impodimo has an extremely active waterhole that
attracts all manner of game every day, most of which walk past the
chalets on their way to and from the water. Guests are always excited
to see herds of game, including elephant and buffalo, literally on the
end of their chalet deck passing by. Whilst this is definitely
exciting, it doesn’t always present the best photographic
opportunities and once the game moves by, guests wanted to keep
watching them and their fascinating behaviours. Whilst some chalets had
a view of the waterhole, they are still situated quite far away (from a
photographer’s perspective) and Impodimo felt that this could
be rectified.
Earlier in 2018 they decided to build a hide that would not just
provide a safe place to view game at the water hole from, but a place
that would bring them right into the thick of the action at the
water’s edge. It would also drop them down to a low angle,
providing some of the most awesome photographic and viewing
opportunities available. In true Impodimo style, they created a new
space that is luxury, comfort and function without being pretentious at
the same time as giving their guests a front row seat to the action.
The hide is built underground and is accessed by means of a cavernous
tunnel, displaying some amazing photography and art on the walls. Once
you enter the hide at the end of the tunnel, there are many comforts
available to guests, from a well-stocked refrigerator, a coffee machine
and tea station as well as lounging areas and a library of books to
help inspire you. All of this kept cool by an air conditioner. Of
course, one doesn’t visit a hide for the coffee! The viewing
windows, which are at just the right height have 1-way glass so you can
be completely hidden from the game or they can be opened for the
perfect uninterrupted views. Once again, Impodimo thinks of the little
things that make all the difference; they even provide bean bags to
rest your camera on! The hide is suitable for night and day, giving
guests an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the
many night visitors to the water hole.

The newly renovated Sala
Impodimo has always had a sala, which is a thatched gazebo, that
overlooks our smaller waterhole and is just a quiet spot to enjoy
nature and immerse yourself in the bush. It was perfect for 2 people,
but some people did feel a little exposed in it when the big game was
very close. We decided to give it a bit of a face lift and make it a
bit bigger and a little less exposed. We doubled the size and included
some canvas walls to improve the safety and the privacy. With the extra
space, we can now offer massage treatments, or private dinners for
special occasions or guests can just relax and watch the bush pass by
in comfort and safety.
