4 star4 star4 star4 star

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge boasts one of the most breathtaking settings in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, an exclusive and unfenced extension of the iconic Kruger National Park. Perched gracefully on a hillside, the lodge offers uninterrupted views of the vast wilderness, with the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains forming a striking backdrop. Below, the serene Mbali Dam and the meandering Nhlaralumi River create a natural oasis, drawing a diverse array of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, and an abundance of birdlife. Guests can often witness these magnificent creatures gathering at the water’s edge, a sight that embodies the magic of the African bush.

Designed with sustainability at its core, Simbavati Hilltop Lodge seamlessly blends luxury with environmental consciousness, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem. The lodge features eight exquisitely designed tented suites, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy while offering awe-inspiring views. Spacious and elegantly furnished, each suite boasts a private deck and plunge pool, providing the perfect sanctuary to unwind and immerse in the tranquility of nature.

As part of the Greater Kruger Park, the Timbavati region is renowned for its exceptional game viewing. The area is home to the legendary Big Five, with frequent sightings of elusive leopards and packs of wild dogs. Experienced guides lead twice-daily game drives, offering guests unparalleled encounters with the diverse wildlife, from the smallest, most vibrant bird species to the powerful predators that roam the land. Each safari is an intimate and immersive journey, revealing the raw beauty and wonder of the African wilderness.

Beyond game drives, guests can savor exquisite cuisine, unwind with sundowners overlooking the landscape, or simply revel in the serenity of the bush. Whether it’s the thrill of a close wildlife encounter or the peace of a starlit evening, Simbavati Hilltop Lodge delivers an unforgettable safari experience, where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.
