About this place
Simbavati Amani is a contemporary safari lodge in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger. Bushveld views, generous spaces and thoughtful design make it refined yet closely connected to the wild.
Seven secluded Riverbed Suites each have a king bed, indoor and outdoor showers, a private sun deck and a heated plunge pool. Beneath the main lodge roof, the Interleading Family Suite has two connecting rooms with direct access to the lodge's shared spaces. Subject to availability, four Riverbed Suites can be taken together as the exclusive-use Amani Riverbed Villa for up to eight guests, with the heated lodge pool, a private living area, private dining and a private game vehicle.
Open-plan living and dining spaces flow onto wraparound decks and gardens, with a swimming pool, an outdoor bar and a boma for evenings under the stars. Solar power, water-wise systems and locally sourced food reflect the lodge's lighter approach.
