A wonderful experience in the bush! The water hole in front of the pool always has activity! The staff are incredible! The accommodation was comfortable and clean. The beds were turned down every evening which was a great touch! We will definitely be back!

Milima was fantastic. This is a private game reserve in greater Kruger. We saw the big 5 - Lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, buffalos and were lucky to see them up close. The lions came right up to the vehicle! We also saw other animals such as zebras, giraffes, many types of deer, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, and many more. On safari, the guide will drive you around the reserve to find the animals as they are free to roam around, and it can take some looking to find them. We enjoyed watching the animals coming to drink at the waterhole in front of the lodge, whilst we swam in the pool. We did a day trip to Kruger National Park and preferred the Milima experience as the animals were closer and there were lots more vehicles at Kruger all competing for the prime spot to see the animals. Having said that, we did see hippos and crocs up close in Kruger. We stayed in the family villa. These had 2 comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a spacious living area. We often saw warthogs and types of deer in the front lawn. The safari guides were knowledgeable, warm and friendly. Big thanks to Thomas, Prem, Sidney and Sean for taking us around on the morning and afternoon game drives. The meals were all delicious - high restaurant quality. The chefs can make other meals for kids as is suitable, noting we travelled with 2 kids, 12yo and 10yo. The staff were excellent - all professional, friendly and very helpful. Overall, this was a terrific experience, all of us loved it! I highly recommend Milima.

As a family of 5 it can be tricky to find the right place but we did at Milima. The team are exceptional. They do everything you need and more. The food is wonderful and our children were very well catered for. But the highlight are the game drives, where we managed to tick off the big 5 thanks to Thomas.

We had an excellent trip. We stayed in one of the tents with a great view over the waterhole. It was very comfortable and had everything you needed with a huge bathroom and lovely balcony to watch the animals. The food was excellent with the chef introducing the menu for each meal and in the evening, the wine choices. We didn’t have a bad meal. The staff were great. We had Prem as our guide and we managed to see the Big Five in the first two game drives and he was excellent in tracking down lions!! He was very informative about all the wildlife which was fantastic. All in all we couldn’t fault the place and will be visiting again - for longer.

We had an incredible stay at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge. Our experience was beyond our expectations, and we were so reluctant to leave! We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big 5 during our stay. On our first night, we saw a leopard among other animals. The following morning, we were thrilled to see two lions. We also spotted another leopard in the evening and ended our trip with a pride of lions the next morning. We will definitely be recommending Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge

Oh wow what a fantastic, amazing and awesome stay we had a Milima Big 5 for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. From the minute we arrived till we left to go home everything was perfect. We paid extra to be picked up at the airport and dropped off. We were met by the amazing and talented guide Thomas. He was our guide during our stay and thanks to his knowledge, intuition and gut instinct we got to see the big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino) twice in our 5 night stay. Was a once in a lifetime experience. During the safari drives Thomas would give us information about the animals we seen, tracking them and there habitats and movements. No question was unanswerable. The guides work extremely hard and are amazing at there job. Special shout out to Thomas the best guide :) Location was fantastic. Once we arrived we were given a welcome drink and given a tour of the bar, restaurant, Boma and then onto our tent. The lodge in in a reserve and there are no other lodges near so you feel like you are in the middle of Africa. We stayed in a tent which gave you a real safari feel. It had everything you needed and was very comfortable. From our deck we could sit and watch elephants, giraffes and kudu come and drink at the water hole. It was so incredible to watch. Every evening and morning the housekeeping staff come in and turn your bed down for the evening Included in your price are morning and evening game drives, all inclusive food and drinks and your accommodation. Was a once in a lifetime experience for us and so emotional seeing all the animals in there own habitat. Totally out of this world. There is a heated pool but we never used it as we were too busy animal spotting. There is also tours out with the lodge that can be booked. We took a tour to the Drakensberg mountains which was fantastic and reasonable for a 1-1 tour. Looking for somewhere special to come and see a variety of animals then book Milima and you won't be disappointed.

Milima and her staff have been extremely welcoming, and started catering to every need since arriving at the gate. The manor staff were unbelievably friendly and laughing through every moment. The guides (especially our guide, Sydney) are well informed and were able to track different lion prides every morning. We couldn't help but eat too much and enjoy the ambience with our friends. this will forever be one of my favourite experiences!
