Simbavati Camp George

Camp George lies within the unfenced Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger system with open ecological access to Kruger National Park. The lodge sits beside a dry riverbed amid indigenous gardens, with main decks overlooking a productive waterhole that draws regular wildlife. Klaserie’s low tourist density supports unhurried sightings on morning and late-afternoon drives, with after-dark outings offered to seek nocturnal species. Arrival is typically via Hoedspruit’s Eastgate Airport (HDS), followed by an approximately 60–90 minute road transfer to the reserve and onward to the lodge.

The lodge offers eight contemporary suites in calm, neutral tones, each with a private deck and full en-suite bathroom. Large windows frame bush and riverbed views, while practical comforts include air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and in-room tea and coffee. Two inter-leading options suit families or friends, and suites are spaced for privacy yet remain a short stroll from the main lodge areas and pool terraces. With just eight keys, service is personal and flexible, whether reserving individual suites or arranging exclusive-use for a small group seeking a quiet Greater Kruger base.

Shared spaces include an airy lounge, bar and dining areas that open to broad viewing decks. A swimming pool anchors the terrace for midday downtime, while dinners often unfold around the boma fire. Wellness is a focus: on-site spa treatments use trusted safari products, and a compact fitness centre is available for guests who wish to keep active. Activities are centered on twice-daily guided game drives, with guided nature walks offered on request and night drives permitted in the private reserve, creating opportunities to view nocturnal predators and smaller creatures after dark.
