Every day at Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge brings something new. Whether you crave thrilling wildlife encounters, moments of peace in nature, or cultural discovery, the lodge’s activities are designed to connect you with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Game Drives
Twice daily game drives in open safari vehicles put you in the heart of Big Five territory. Your experienced tracker and guide team will read the land to find animals you won’t believe are real. See leopards draped across tree limbs, elephants marching at dawn, or lions on the move at sunset.
Walking Safaris
Step off the vehicle and into the wilderness with guided bush walks. Learn to track by footprint, identify bird calls, and recognise medicinal plants. These walks are about slowing down and truly seeing the bush.
Bird Watching
With over 300 recorded bird species in the area, Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge is a birder’s paradise. Bring your binoculars and watch everything from eagles to bee-eaters right from your deck or venture out with a specialist guide.
Stargazing
With no light pollution, Milima offers crystal-clear night skies. Lay back with a blanket and let the Milky Way, Southern Cross, and planets dazzle you. The lodge often hosts stargazing nights complete with hot drinks and a guide to the constellations.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation
When you're not exploring, unwind at the lodge swimming pool, enjoy a massage under the trees, or sip something cold in the lounge as wildlife wanders past. The Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge waterhole attracts wildlife such as elephants, antelopes and more.
Cultural Experiences
Visit nearby Shangaan communities to learn about traditional life, local crafts, and storytelling passed down through generations. These authentic interactions add richness to your stay and deepen your connection to the land and its people.
