    Simbavati River Lodge

    Set in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger Park, Simbavati River Lodge boasts a magnificent setting on the banks of the Nhlaralumi River. One of the lodge’s greatest features is the floodlit waterhole right in front of the main deck. Here guests can enjoy wildlife viewing over a cup of coffee or glass of wine in complete comfort.

    A getaway here is an elegant immersion into the African wild. Contemporary classic design meets rustic charm in a blend of stone, timber, and thatch with clean lines and natural colour palettes. Simbavati River Lodge is home to a total of 11 rooms either as Luxury Safari Tents, Family Suites, or Tented Pool Suites. The lodge caters equally to couples on a romantic getaway, families, and solo travellers.

    The main lodge features a spa, fitness centre, kids club, curio shop, swimming pool, relaxation lounge with books and board games, bar, as well as an expansive viewing deck. Activities at River Lodge include splendid star gazing, campfire dining, sundowners in the bush, and of course, two game drives daily. Expert rangers will take you out early morning and late afternoon (into the evening) when the animals are most active. Timbavati Private Game Reserve is known for magnificent Big 5 sightings as well as a host of other wildlife including giraffe, zebra, hyena, warthog, and various antelope species. Additionally, the reserve serves as a protective habitat for endangered black and white rhino and pangolins.
