Simbavati Hilltop Lodge

Accommodation Description

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge is an intimate luxury tented lodge located in the renowned Timbavati Game Reserve – a private concession that forms part of the Greater Kruger region. Perched on the hillside with spectacular views of the surrounding bush and the Drakensberg mountains in the distance, the lodge overlooks the Nhlaralumi River where free-roaming elephants and other wildlife are often seen, making for a spectacular African safari experience.

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge offers just eight luxury tented suites, each featuring spacious relaxation areas, en-suite bathrooms and expansive private decks to enjoy uninterrupted bushveld vistas. The tented suites are situated above the trees, and connected by wooden walkways to the main lodge where a view-drenched swimming pool, dining area, comfortable lounge and outdoor boma for meals under the stars await. Guests can also arrange in-room spa treatments for added relaxation.
