With Timbavati Private Nature & Game Reserve reachable in 8.5 km, Simbavati Trails Camp offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a terrace and a bar.

We loved the location in the middle of the bush. The amenities and the comfort are outstanding while eco responsible. The staff is absolutely lovely and very careful while being very professional. The food is excellent and changes every day, the walk games are wonderful even if of course you don't see as many animals as in cars...but the contact with the nature and the intercation with animals is unique...and our guide was so nice and skilled. I defintely recommend to anyone who wants to live a true expreience in the bush

We came here for the safari and it didn’t disappoint. We had six amazing game drives with Themba and Golden - absolute legends - where we saw plenty of animals from Leopard to Rhinos and everything in between. We had Aubrey to look after us throughout our stay - again, legend - and basically all staff there from management to housekeeping were just so amazingly kind and helpful. The 10-rating is without a doubt because of them.

Guests of the Shindzela Tented Safari Camp stay in a canvas safari tent that is equipped with 2 twin beds and a wooden deck. Each tent also has a private en suite bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet.

The drives were exceptional, the tent is very well built, big bathroom. The meals were very tasteful. The Road is unpaved but if you go very slow you can reach the hotel with a normal car. The staff is very polite and helpful.

    Mostwari is a dream! Our room was absolutely gorgeous, with two showers (one inside and one outside), a super comfy large bed, fluffy towels and great toiletry kits. FOOD IS INSANE! The best I had during my time in SA. Meals were often served in different places: bush breakfast, boma dinner, candlelight dinner… The team is fantastic: friendly and super professional. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun. I had the time of our lives at Mostwari and will definitely come back.

    All of the staff, from reception to the chefs, the drivers and rangers were unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we’d an exceptional experience, including accommodating dietary needs. The bush walk and tree house stay were really special.

    We absolutely loved Motswari. The accommodation is lovely. Comfy bed, great bathtub! The food was great too and we had a different menu for each meal (stayed 4 nights). The staff were friendly and the guides were very knowledgeable. Saw the big 5 and much more wildlife. Will definitely be coming back.

Great for honeymooners, couples & families, we met lovely people!

    From the moment we entered this beautiful place we forgot about the hectic and stress of the modern world. Naturally grounded without WiFi, electricity but with candles and campfire after sunset and the smell and noises of the bush around...The hospitality could not be better and the entire staff walked more than an extra mile! We will return and already booked again!

    Amazing lodge with beautiful views and great services! We absolutely loved the game drives and the spa massage. The lodge itself is beautiful and unfenced, so we spotted many animals just outside the lodge. The luxury tent is beautiful, spacious and has cool features like a bath with a view, outside shower and outside bed. Staff was super kind and helpful! Absolutely recommend to stay here!
