THE ROOMS

A much-loved thatched bush home, Simbavati Amani Camp offers four luxury and authentic villa-styled suites within the home that have been extensively refurbished and upgraded to create this intimate little lodge. This spacious accommodation captures the age-old essence of a private African safari lodge and can be booked on an exclusive-use basis, perfect for a get together with family or friends.

INTIMATE SAFARI EXPERIENCE

Amani offers an experience like no other. Unlike many of the more developed private reserves in the Greater Kruger region, Simbavati Amani offers a far less crowded and more intimate safari experience. Encounter a wide variety of game in the African bushveld, including the famous Big Five, in an unrushed environment as there are far fewer other game drive vehicles about. Guests can enjoy the exclusive and unspoiled feeling of seclusion while exploring the surroundings and have an unrivalled safari experience with enthusiastic, knowledgeable rangers.

RELAXATION IS KEY

Between game drives, African sunsets, gourmet meals, and lounging at the pool while spotting wildlife at the waterhole; visitors can experience a deep sense of calm and peace in the tranquil environment that the lodge provides. Retreating to the bush and getting close to nature certainly has a way of soothing the soul.

Highlights

  • Surrounded by an expanse of wide open bushveld spanning 3000 hectares and
    beyond, visitors come here to get away from it all and aren’t disappointed.
  • Game sightings from the pool deck overlooking the riverbed and waterhole.
  • Unrushed, uncrowded safari experience.
