Simbavati Hilltop Lodge boasts eight individual Luxury Tents that are positioned to offer guests privacy. Each suite comprises two individual tents: one featuring the main bedroom and the other a separate bathroom. These two tents are linked by a passage that can be opened up on one side, allowing for an indoor or private outdoor shower experience.

The lodge facilities include: - A lounge with a selection of books and board games - A curio shop - A dining area and bar - A covered pool lounge - A game-viewing deck overlooking the river - Wi-Fi connectivity in the reception, lounge, and deck areas - An infinity pool with stunning views of the bushveld and the Drakensberg Mountains.

Currently, over 40 mammal species reside in the Timbavati, including the Big 5—Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo, and Elephant—as well as endangered species such as Wild Dogs and Cheetahs. The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is one of the few places in the world where you have the opportunity to see the unique white lion in its natural environment. Additionally, the reserve is home to an abundance of birdlife, with a total of 360 species recorded.

Enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives conducted in open 4x4 safari vehicles and led by professional rangers.

For the more adventurous traveler, bush walks can be arranged prior to arrival. These walks are an excellent way to discover the smaller, wondrous creatures of the bush and to learn more about the fauna and flora.

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for an authentic tented safari experience.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
