The culinary experience at MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge is truly exceptional. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of Karen Blixen, gourmet menus are presented in our restaurant with views of the Watehole, or al fresco under the stars in the traditional African "boma" setting, where evenings are filled with the warmth of a crackling fire and the aroma of an authentic braai (barbecue).

If your country is not visa-exempt, you must apply for a visa before traveling, as visas are not issued at South African ports of entry.
