Simbavati Homestead

Homestead sits within the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem with open ecological links to neighboring reserves. The villa fronts a thriving waterhole and looks onto surrounding bushveld from broad decks and lawns, offering frequent, unrushed wildlife viewing between drives. Klaserie is renowned for limited lodge and vehicle density, preserving a traditional, non-commercial safari feel. Guests typically arrive via Hoedspruit’s Eastgate Airport (HDS), with an overland transfer of roughly 60 to 90 minutes depending on routing and seasonal road conditions.

The villa offers five bedrooms configured for families and small groups. Rooms have en-suite bathrooms with bath and shower; a further bathroom is shared by several rooms, and select rooms enjoy private balconies with waterhole views. Interiors are contemporary and comfortable, with king beds (mostly convertible to twin), air-conditioning and daily housekeeping. Practical touches include DSTV in the lounge, a fully equipped kitchen and expansive stoep areas for relaxed downtime. With exclusive use, your party enjoys privacy and flexible scheduling guided by your dedicated field team.

Shared spaces include two lounges, dining areas and an open-air bar that flow onto wide decks facing the waterhole. A swimming pool anchors the terrace for midday relaxation, and evenings often move to the outdoor dining area or boma for self-catered meals under the stars. Your private guide and vehicle operate a morning and a late-afternoon/evening drive daily, with stargazing available on request. While there is no dedicated on-site spa, treatments can be booked at nearby Camp George subject to availability, ensuring wellness options without compromising privacy.
