Situated on the banks of the Greater Kruger National Park's Nhlaralumi River in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, Simbavati River Lodge is a relaxed hideaway with 11 rooms.
A thatched lounge area flows onto an open deck, with a boma to the right, and a flood-lit watering hole below. A popular destination for herds of elephants, guests are in a prime position to observe them while they drink and cool down in the refreshing waters.
Leading off from the lounge to the left are 3 two-bedroom Family Chalets, each with a main bedroom and second room with twin beds. Sharing a bathroom and game viewing deck with riverfront views, the chalets are perfect for families travelling together. They’re also in close proximity to the pool and ‘Cubs Club’ Kids Room, allowing for easy access from your chalet.
With a private deck and plunge pool, outdoor shower, and river or bush views, the 6 Luxury Safari Tents are ideal for couples. For complete privacy, book one of the 2 Tented Pool Suites – tucked away at the far end of the lodge, they come with an outdoor rain shower and solar-heated plunge pool.
When not on game drives, guests can cool off in the pool, enjoy meals on the deck, and retreat to the gym and spa – while younger safari-goers can go wild in the children's discovery centre and play room.
In all rooms:
Twice daily game drives will take you into the heart of the Timbavati in search of the Big Five, elephants, giraffe, zebra, hyena, antelope species, and other thrilling wildlife. Special family safaris can be arranged to introduce young explorers to conservation, with stargazing and boma or campfire dining another highlight for both families and couples.
