The focus of the lodge is on the excellent big-5 game viewing, breathtaking views, friendly and knowledgeable staff in an environment where guests are made to feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment they arrive.

About the Lodge
Situated is situated in the northern sector of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, and surrounded by 12 000 hectares of wildlife and rich wilderness.
Shaded by age-old Jackalberry and Leadwood trees, this intimate, family-friendly camp is built on the banks of the Nhlaralumi River – a beautiful watercourse in the summer months when rain is plentiful, and a dry riverbed in the drier winter months, where regular wildlife sightings take place and guests can unwind.
Simbavati River Lodge is warm and welcoming, with a contemporary design. Guest common areas offer a generously proportioned lounge, bar, boma and extensive decks with breathtaking views overlooking the Nhlaralumi river.
