Imagine Africa Luxury Tented Camp

Most likely the best lodge I've been at in Hoedspruit. What a wonderful place with such a wonderful team of friendly, excellent people. Food is out of this world. Location and atmosphere is out of this world. Will highly recommend to anyone looking for a unforgettable experience

I recently had the most incredible stay at Imagine Africa, and I can't thank Andriette, Herman, Sydwell, Gary and the chefs enough for making it unforgettable! Herman and Sydwells extensive knowledge of the local wildlife made every game drive an educational and thrilling experience. Andriette and Gary ensured we were always comfortable and were very kind and welcoming. The lodge itself was stunning, with luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared and showed off some of South Africa’s dishes, they were outstanding. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone seeking a remarkable safari experience. Thank you to the entire team for creating such wonderful memories for us!!

We stayed 4 nights at Imagine Africa in August of this year and as our first safari experience, we couldn't have been happier. The accommodation itself is practically brand new and the tents are beautifully laid out with an outdoor bath tub and shower, a comfy large bed and fresh drinking water always available. We had an amazing view of the watering hole from our deck where we were lucky enough to see zebra, giraffe and many antelope. The food was also fantastic. While all staff we encountered were an absolute pleasure we must give a special shout out to Hendrick who went out of his way to ensure we had amazing game drives each day. I certainly did not expect to see a pride of lions devouring a giraffe on our first drive! I was also lucky enough to see a honey badger which was a personal highlight. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Imagine Africa, for the 3rd time and certainly not the last. The tents are beautifully furnished, clean and have an amazing view. The food was delicious as always, the staff very attentive and super nice. The game drives were exciting and full of great sightings - we saw leopards, lions, lots of elephants, hippos, wild dogs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras and many other animals. Back home, we already miss the beautiful nature and lovely people of South Africa and are already planning our next stay at Imagine Africa 😍. Thank you very much and hope to see you all again soon!

We had a wonderful time at Imagine Africa for 4 nights in August. The staff are all lovely and extremely accommodating. Every meal we had was exceptional, the game drives were always lively and exciting. We saw all the big 5 and tons more, leopard, hyena, many elephants, many giraffe, zebra, lots of lions, wild dogs, more different things than we can fit in the review. We celebrated our honeymoon here and the staff left us a nice present to help use celebrate as well. We couldn’t be happier with our stay, and can’t wait to come back. Every little thing is accounted for and it honestly felt like being at home, you don’t have to worry about a thing once you pull up to the camp. Don’t worry about continuing to research camps in South Africa. I can’t ’imagine’ it being any nicer elsewhere.

I don't have the words to describe our 3 night / 6 game drive experience. I read all the reviews, and to be honest, they don't capture the true essence of Imagine Africa. The guides/trackers/hosts/cooks/staff were all skilled, friendly, and great at their jobs. We loved the "tents" where we stayed (aircon/USB plugs/great mattresses), we loved the food (near Michelin quality), we loved the game drives (we saw every singe animal from up close). Thanks to everyone for a dream holiday.

What an unforgettable experience on every level. The Staff were absolutely the best, food was gourmet and the rooms were so comfortable....everything is done at such high standards. One of the very best experiences we have had in a private lodge. So very well done to everyone. Would recommend Imagine Africa as an exceptional destination for anyone seeking an authentic and beautiful bush experience in Africa.

its a nice lodge, but i would say its highly overpriced for what you get. they even charge you for water, while its included in every other lodge and these lodges are even much cheaper. also coffee and all that i usually included in the price. the game drives they do are okay and kind of nice, besides you will have to ask for a picture stop and for not stopping in front of a branch. the serving alcohol on game drives thing is still a problem likee in every other lodge, because people get drunk and yell around. also you will have to sit with these people on a big table. there was a very loud kind of harassing french group which destroyed a game drive and the peace in the lodge. if you just want to yell around, go to a club. how about that?
