Simbavati River Lodge, set along the Nhlaralumi River in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, offers an intimate and immersive safari experience in the Greater Kruger Park. One of its standout features is the waterhole below the dining deck, a constant draw for elephants and other wildlife, allowing guests to enjoy remarkable game viewing without leaving the lodge. The lodge blends traditional safari charm with modern elegance, featuring open-air lounge and dining areas that seamlessly connect with the surrounding bush. 

Accommodation options cater to different travelers, from luxury tented suites and thatched chalets to spacious family chalets. Guests can enjoy twice-daily game drives with expert guides, offering exceptional Big Five sightings, especially leopards and wild dogs, as well as off-road tracking for closer encounters. For a deeper connection to nature, guided bush walks highlight the smaller details of the ecosystem. 

Beyond game viewing, the lodge provides a well-equipped fitness center, a safari spa for relaxation, and a Cubs Club for children. Whether watching wildlife from the deck, indulging in a spa treatment, or exploring the bush, Simbavati River Lodge delivers an unforgettable blend of adventure, comfort, and warm hospitality in the heart of the African wilderness.

Children of all ages welcome. Children 6 years and over are permitted on gamedrives.
