In the heart of the Timbavati Games Reserve, the Simbavati River Lodge offers the chance of a face-to- face encounter with Africa’s incredibly varied wildlife from the lodge’s private viewing decks. The River Lodge combines the rustic appeal of an African game with stylish modern interiors. Choose from 2-bedroom Family suites or luxurious Safari Tents, all feature private outdoor decks overlooking the Nhlaralumi River. The spacious Family Suites are air-conditioned, and have large bathrooms with twin wash-basins and deep, free-standing baths. Each evening the Simbavati Lodge offers game drives conducted by experienced rangers, providing the opportunity to photograph some of the reserve’s incredible array of wildlife that includes the 'big 5' - lions, leopards, rhino, buffalo and elephant. Afterwards you can sit around the campfire and sample traditional African cuisine prepared on the braai.
