What do past clients say about this destination?

08/02/2023

We felt so at home at Simbavati River Lodge, as if we were family. The staff are so friendly we felt as if we had known them for years! Managers Kobus and Thandy laid on the hospitality for us, so professional yet so warm. CJ and Happy showed us so much enthusiasm on game drives and taught us so much about the environment. Waitresses made us feel like gold too! We had an exceptional time at Simbavati and will be back.
