Reasons Why You Should Do an African Safari at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge in Greater Kruger National Park

The Affordability and Value of Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge in South Africa

From the safari experiences to the luxurious amenities and comfortable rooms, Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge offers very affordable room rates. Choose from single rooms, luxury tents, or villas for groups. You can check out their accommodation options by clicking this link. I have never been more comfortable at a hotel before. The large king beds are amazing, showers are huge, there are porches outside of the rooms to relax outside as well as complimentary converter wall plugs, so you can keep your electronics charged. There is a large shared pool located right in front of the watering hole, so you can watch wildlife right from the loge. My friend and I sat here and watched animals for hours! Check out this cute elephant family that welcomed us on our first day we had arrived!

Unforgettable Safari Experience

I have truly never even seen a safari experience this amazing. I cannot get over it! First of all, their safari guides are phenomenal. They are very well-experienced so you never have to worry about anything happening. Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge is located on a private property within Kruger National Park, meaning that the vehicles used are the best ones possible. These types of vehicles are completely open, so it makes the safari experience that much better. Views of wildlife will not be obstructed in their vehicles. The trucks are super comfortable and well-designed to allow space between all the passengers, which of course helps with being able to capture the best photos since people won’t be in the way.

The best thing about opting for a private game reserve is the ability to see more wildlife. The animals are much more used to vehicles driving past them and it doesn’t phase them. In public game reserves, animals can be more skittish because more vehicles will crowd around them which causes discomfort for the animals.

Milima’s safari experience is something out of a movie. From the thrill of the game drives, to the sunset bush dinners, it’s something that has officially made it onto my top 3 favorite travel experiences (and I have A LOT of those! ha). Nothing is more incredible than watching an unreal sunset while enjoying a delicious homemade dinner surrounded by a campfire, other like-minded travelers and the beauty of African nature and wildlife. As I mentioned earlier, this all included within your stay at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge, and yet another reason I can understand why so many other travelers also enjoyed booking with this lodge.

Memorable Dining and Drinking

Indulge in a culinary journey at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge. Enjoy three delicious and beautifully-presented meals per day prepared by a 5-star chef.

High-Speed Wifi at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge’s Property

Good wifi can be hard to come across on safari lodges because they are located pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

Whether you're a remote worker or simply want to stay in touch, the lodge offers reliable internet connectivity throughout the entire property, including the rooms.
