Simbavati River Lodge
Simbavati River Lodge
Kruger National Park
The lodge enjoys a unique setting on the banks of Kruger National Park's Nhlaralumi River in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve. One of its winning charms is the popular waterhole right below the dining deck, much loved by elephants. Between game drives, you could enjoy a game viewing just sitting on the deck as wildlife comes and goes from the water. The Timbavati forms part of the Greater Kruger Park and offers exceptional game viewing including all the Big Five, most notably leopard, and wild dog.
At the lodge, you'll find a swimming pool, restaurant and bar, open-air boma and campfire, fitness centre and children's discovery centre. The lodge is open to all ages although children must be over 6 to go on game drives. There are just six safari tents, each with air conditioning, fan, safe, indoor and outdoor shower, minibar as well as tea and coffee making facilities. Family rooms are available, please ask for details.
Activities include Game Drives, Boma Dinners, Family Safaris & Sunset Drinks

How our Tent Ratings work
These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.
It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.
To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.
This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.
Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.
Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
