Is the Simbavati Waterside for Me?
Positioned alongside a large dam in the southern reaches of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Waterside offers a water-focused safari experience in a landscape where wildlife naturally gathers. Year-round, the dam attracts elephants, buffalo, hippos, and predator species to its edge, providing consistent and often dramatic game viewing opportunities.
Designed for both couples and families, it features a range of thoughtfully curated spaces—private decks for quiet reflection, shared lounges for relaxed connection, and surprise touches that mark special occasions with care. Décor is contemporary yet rooted in its surroundings, creating a restful base between activities.
Facilities include a swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, a spa, and a boutique, as well as two unique boma areas—one tucked into the bush and another right at the water’s edge. Morning and evening game drives provide access to the surrounding wilderness, while the lodge’s positioning means wildlife viewing continues even while you’re at rest.
Simbavati Waterside is ideal for families, couples, multigenerational travellers, and those who enjoy a more sociable safari setting with the added bonus of regular game sightings at the camp.
