Tucked into the heart of South Africa’s untamed wilderness, MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge offers a rare combination of pristine nature, luxurious accommodation, and an authentic safari experience. As the sister lodge to the esteemed NYATI Safari Lodge, MILIMA builds on a long-standing legacy of excellence in safari hospitality.
Acquired in September 2022 by seasoned lodge operators Jørgen and Lisbeth Nielsen, MILIMA reflects over 27 years of passion and expertise in crafting unforgettable safaris. Under their care, the lodge has been thoughtfully reimagined as a fully inclusive, luxury safari escape, where every element is designed to create a seamless balance between comfort, relaxation, and immersive wildlife encounters.
A Stay Designed to Inspire
From arrival, guests are welcomed into a world where Big Five game drives — led by experienced guides — bring them up close with lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo in their natural habitat. Back at the lodge, days are rounded off with exceptional cuisine, fine wines, and a curated selection of beverages — all included as part of the experience.
Safari Sophistication Meets Natural Beauty
At the heart of MILIMA lies a beautifully designed main lodge featuring a restaurant, bar, boutique shop, pool, and lounge area, all with views of a nearby watering hole regularly visited by elephants, antelope, and zebra. It’s the kind of setting where wildlife moments unfold naturally, and often, from the comfort of a sun lounger.
MILIMA’s accommodation caters to a range of guest needs:
4 Family Villa Suites – secluded and spacious, ideal for small families or couples
4 Luxury Tents – combining safari tradition with modern refinement
The Manor House – a private space for families or groups of up to 12 guests
Each room is linked to the main lodge by charming walkways, creating a strong sense of connection to the surrounding bushveld.
More Than a Destination — An Experience
Whether guests are seeking the thrill of the wild, the stillness of the bush, or a blend of both, MILIMA offers an experience designed to linger in memory. Every moment is carefully considered, offering refined elegance without losing the raw, breathtaking essence of the African bush.
For those in search of a safari where world-class hospitality meets unforgettable wild encounters, MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge is ready to welcome them home.
