Embark on a luxury safari from the stunning Cape Town Waterfront Village to the deep wilderness of Simbavati Waterside Klaserie Nature Reserve.

Day 1: Arrival in Cape Town

Upon your arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you'll be met by a representative who will escort you to your transport vehicle. Transfer to your One-bedroom Waterfront Village Apartment.

After checking in, take some time to freshen up and enjoy the Village's facilities, including lounging by the swimming pool. Alternatively, consult the reception for assistance in arranging a transfer to a local restaurant offering delicious Cape Town cuisine.

Day 2 - 3: Luxury Cape Town Adventure

Begin your days early at the picturesque V&A Waterfront Marina, known for its superior facilities and stunning views of Table Mountain, the marina, and the canals. The architecture maximizes panoramic views, creating an internationally desirable setting.

The property is ideally located within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, as well as attractions like the Two Oceans Aquarium, the Watershed, and the V&A Food Market. It's also centrally located for accessing world-class beaches and Cape Town's top attractions.

Day 4: Fly to Hoedspruit

Check out of your One-bedroom Waterfront Village Apartment and meet your representative at reception for your transfer to Cape Town International Airport. Fly to Hoedspruit Airport and transfer to Simbavati Waterside, where throughout the year, various animal species gather at the dam.

Upon arrival at Simbavati Waterside, check into your luxury  suite. Refresh yourself with an indoor or outdoor shower, or relax in a bath to unwind from the day's travels.

Enjoy relaxation on your private viewing deck before your first safari activity—a late afternoon game drive with an English-speaking guide and tracker. Pause at a scenic spot to stretch your legs and enjoy refreshments, followed by a hearty, campfire-style dinner served under the stars in a traditional 'boma'.

Day 5 - 6: Simbavati Waterside Romance

Rise early for the morning safari game drive, optimal for viewing active wildlife around the dam. Return to the lodge for a traditional breakfast cooked in the boma area. During the day, partake in a walking safari, relax by the swimming pool, pamper yourself with a spa treatment, or savor an afternoon cocktail on your private deck.

Prepare for another late afternoon safari game drive and enjoy another delicious dinner, possibly beneath the stars.

Day 7: End of the Journey

Wake early for a final morning safari game drive, followed by breakfast at the lodge. Your representative will then escort you back to Hoedspruit Airstrip for your departure.

I recently booked a trip to Simbavati…
I recently booked a trip to Simbavati Hilltop Lodge through Safari.com, and the service has been nothing short of exceptional. Although I haven’t gone on the trip yet, I felt compelled to share how seamless and stress-free the planning process has been. A special shout-out to Shann, who has been absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me craft the perfect getaway. Every question was answered promptly, every detail handled with care, and her recommendations gave me complete confidence that I’m in great hands. If the actual safari is anything like the service I’ve received so far, it’s going to be unforgettable. Highly recommend using Safari.com for anyone planning a luxury safari experience!
