About the lodge

An overview of Simbavati Trails Camp.

Simbavati Trails Camp is Simbavati's luxury-but-back-to-basics walking trails camp.

  • Scheduled transfers are compulsory (private vehicles are not permitted to drive to the camp).
  • Simbavati Trails Camp operates annually from March to November.
  • To enjoy the full walking trail experience, a 3-night stay is recommended.
  • Minimum Stay: A minimum stay of 2 nights is required unless otherwise specified. 1-night stays are available on request only.

The Detail

Located in a secluded area of the world-renowned Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, this camp is set within an 11,000-hectare wilderness area that forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park.

Days start with a 3- to 4-hour walk at a leisurely pace with an armed specialist guide. Experiencing the bush on foot offers an entirely different perspective compared to being in a safari vehicle. You'll hear more, smell more, and gradually train your eyes to notice subtle details around you. Snack and drink breaks keep your energy up before a delicious brunch is served back at camp.

After some personal downtime, which can be spent snoozing or reading outside your tent, a savory and sweet ‘tea’ is prepared. This is followed by a 2- to 3-hour walk in the late afternoon, culminating at a viewpoint to soak in a breathtaking African sunset. A short drive will then take you back to camp, where you can freshen up before enjoying dinner around the campfire.

Price Includes

  • Accommodation, all meals, and two safari activities per day.
  • Beverages (excluding premium brands and cellar wines).
  • * Drinks are excluded for guests under the South African Resident rate.
