Overview

Simbavati River Lodge in the world famous Timbavati Private Nature Reserve offers excellent Big Five game viewing opportunities, while staying in luxurious tented rooms or thatched chalets on the banks of the Nhlaralumi River. The contemporary and warm welcoming atmosphere will make your safari something to treasure forever. Here, in the heart of South Africa, 12 000 hectares of pristine bush await you.

All tents and family chalets offer en suite bathrooms, private decks and air-conditioning, while the tents have the added bonus of outside showers or baths. There are eight luxurious safari tents all equipped with tea and coffee facilities, filtered water, well-stocked mini bars and electric blankets for the winter chill.

The heat of the African bush has an impact on the activities and behavior of animals. Therefore, game drives are conducted in the mornings and in the afternoons, when game are at their most active. During these game drives, one may just see the world famous white lions of the Timbavati, as this area is home to a pride that carries the gene that causes this anomaly.
