Johannesburg, 31 October – The World Luxury Hotel Awards, a globally recognised benchmark of excellence in the luxury hospitality industry, recently concluded its 17th Annual Awards ceremony. We are thrilled to announce that Imbali Safari Lodge received top honours in not one, but two prestigious categories: Luxury Eco Safari Lodge (Global) and Luxury Safari Lodge (Global).

 

Imbali Safari Lodge is part of the Extraordinary portfolio – a collection of luxury lodges and hotels in Southern Africa. Kate Davidson, Head of Sales and Marketing for Extraordinary says, “The World Luxury Hotel Awards are known for rigorous evaluation criteria, and these awards are a significant testament to the lodge’s commitment to offering an exceptional and eco-conscious safari experience for guests.”

 

Situated within the pristine private Mluwati Concession in the heart of the Kruger National Park, Imbali Safari Lodge combines the magic of a bygone era with contemporary luxury and a strong African design narrative. What sets Imbali Safari Lodge apart is its dedication to eco-friendly practices and commitment to the preservation and conservation of the environment and wildlife.

 

Imbali’s management team and staff diligently uphold best environmental practices, including strict water management, innovative greywater initiatives, plastic monitoring, and comprehensive educational programmes for both staff and guests. The lodge has maintained its eco-friendly ethos and remains at the forefront of regional sustainability efforts.

 

Ursula Montgomery, Resident Manager of Imbali Safari Lodge says, “We are incredibly honoured to be recognised with not one, but two global awards from the World Luxury Hotel Awards. Our team at Imbali is dedicated to delivering a one-of-a-kind experience to our guests, and these awards only inspire us to continue raising the bar even higher. A special thank you to the organisers of the awards and everyone who voted for us, and of course to our staff who make it all possible.”
