GENERAL (Public Reservations)
We require your postal address, telephone number, names of guests, if anyone has any special dietary requirements and how you will be arriving/departing from the lodge in order to be able to process a reservation. The Kruger National Park prohibits the use of roads within the Park once the gates are closed, therefore guests need to be at the lodge and transfer companies must be outside of the Park by the time the gates close. No alternative arrangements can be made. Lukimbi Safari Lodge is approximately 1 hour from Malelane Gate and therefore we recommend that flights to/from Nelspruit/Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA/MQP) are booked to -
arrive at KMIA between 10h00-12h00 (but no later than 14h30) on the day of arrival
depart from KMIA around 13h00-14h00 (but no earlier than 10h00) on the day of departure.
