We simply loved our stay at Simbavati, it was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. From the minute we arrived to the moment we left, every little detail was taken care of. We loved our family lodge, all three of our kids could stay with us comfortably in a extremely well furnished and fully equipped lodge. Hayly was... More

Our Simbavati experience started with a warm welcome by the team. During our whole stay, we enjoyed the exceptional hospitality of the staff and all members of the team. The Safari's were adventurous with very experienced trackers and rangers. We managed to see four of the big five. The accommodation is nice with well-equipped safari tents and the home-made food...

We have been going to Simbavati every May for the past 9 years or so - which should indicate that we love going there! Elmarie and Charlie and their staff are always friendly and welcoming, and we like the continuity of seeing the same predators and their extended families, and mourn the loss of a familiar leopard if he is...

Our stay at Simbavati has been one of my top experiences. My husband and I loved every moment. We saw the Big 5 and each sighting took my breath away. Each staff member made an impression, and the facilities are excellent. Every little detail is covered.

Our ensuite bathroom had twin showers and an outside bath. Food was excellent, especially the Brai cooked by Charlie - delicious. The beds had electric blankets for the cool evenings which were most welcome. Christof and Daniel... More

The guides were clearly very knowledgable which added to our experience and... More

All I can say is WOW!!! Forget doing a drive through Kruger. This was by far one of the best places to stay to be able to see all the big 5 and more up close. We had the most fantastic driver & tracker. All staff were warm & friendly, much like family. It was hard to say goodbye to... More

We spent 4 nights at this wonderful lodge, staying in a family room (only two of us) which gave us a room each. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were visiting old friends, not strangers arriving at an anonymous hotel. The service was warm, friendly but not intrusive; meals were tasty and abundant; rooms were spotless and... More
