Is the Simbavati Amani for Me?
Tucked into the peaceful surrounds of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Amani is a secluded safari lodge that offers an intimate experience in the bush. Part of the unfenced Greater Kruger, the lodge is well placed for wildlife viewing while offering a restful base for quiet moments between drives.
With just four luxurious suites, Amani feels more like a private bush home than a traditional lodge. Shared spaces include a double-volume lounge, a cosy mezzanine library, an open-plan kitchen, and a bar that invites easy connections. Outside, gardens lead to a shaded terrace, a pool overlooking the bush, and a firepit where stories are shared under the stars.
Daily game drives explore the reserve’s landscapes, with the possibility of encountering the Big Five and more. Between drives, the floodlit waterhole near camp often draws passing wildlife, offering relaxed armchair viewing from the comfort of the lodge. Simbavati Amani is well suited to couples, honeymooners, or small groups looking for exclusive use. It’s a place where stillness, comfort, and adventure come together in one of South Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.
