Safari Guru

Simbavati River Lodge enjoys a unique setting on the banks of Kruger Park’s Nhlaralumi River in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve.
One of its winning charms is the popular waterhole right below the dining deck, much loved and frequented daily during the summer months by the elephant. Between game drives, pampered guests enjoy a game-viewing experience of note just sitting on the deck as wildlife comes and goes from the water.
This lodge has a broad appeal, with a traditional safari ambience, yet offering a contemporary twist in décor. You can choose tented or chalet accommodation, which caters excellently for couples and honeymooners, including a safari spa and fully equipped fitness centre. Whilst its two-bedroom chalets and Cubs Club kids centre are popular with families.
The Timbavati forms part of the Greater Kruger Park and offers exceptional game viewing, including all the Big Five, most notably leopard and the critically endangered wild dog.
