We had an amazing trip to Simambili Game Lodge with our 3 children. Warmly welcomed upon arrival by Mike, Tania and Caroline as well as the rest of the staff who all will go above and beyond to make the stay unforgettable. The suites are beautifully decorated, and situated along the property overlooking the reserve. The food was outstanding- from breakfast to dinner everything was fresh and delicious. We had 8 game drives- Mike was an amazing guide and our tracker was fantastic - we saw the big 5 on the first evening we arrived and continued to see everything you could imagine. We truly had an unforgettable trip and hope to return to Simambili in the near future.

Property's Favourite Review
We recently spent 4 nights at Simbambili as the final leg of our South Africa trip celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday and our 28th wedding anniversary. This was without doubt the highlight of our holiday, a simply unforgettable experience. We enjoyed 8 game drives with our brilliant guide and tracker; Mike and Mr T. We saw the big five plus giraffes, hippopotamus, wild dogs, impala, hyenas, crocodile and a wealth of exotic bird life (including a snake eagle consuming a puff adder). Every drive was an exhilarating experience and Mike and Mr T ensured we all got the most out of our time in the bush. We had a bush walk, a bush dinner and breakfast, delicious Amarula mocha with various bakes each morning and sundowners in amazing locations. Food at Simbambili is delicious with a variety of ingredients that blew us away given the remote location. We stayed in the beautiful Waterhole Suite and regularly saw a herd of elephants walking past our terrace in the mornings. The wildlife really is everywhere! What can we say except a huge thank you to all the brilliant team for making our short time in Sabi so very special and to recommend Simbambili to anyone seeking a magnificent safari in South Africa. We’re now busy boring friends and family with our photographs and planning our return.

Our four days at Simbambili Game Lodge was unmatched by any other game viewing experience we’ve had. From the incredibly gracious and welcoming team, led by the lovely Tania and Tamsin, to the impeccable service and star-quality in-house restaurant, our stay at Simbambili was spent in the utmost comfort - to say nothing of the wildlife encounters themselves. With the expert guidance of our ranger Trevor and tracker Willies, we were permitted countless amazing close encounters with the wide variety of wildlife of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in Kruger National Park often from a staggeringly few feet away, supplemented by an invaluable education on the local flora and fauna by Trevor. Massive thanks to Tania and Mike, Tamsin and Trevor, Willies, Glory, Jane and the rest of the team at Simbambili for making our time on the Sabi Sands game reserve incredibly special.

This was our second trip for a South African safari, and we absolutely loved our stay at Simbambili! First off, our villa was more like a small house - it was huge. The bed was firm and supportive, and the AC worked just well enough to keep the room just cool enough. I particularly loved having extra space with sofas to lounge around on during down time. Solomon was my ranger and Roy was my tracker. Both were exceptional. The breadth of their knowledge was absolutely superb, and I really appreciated how detail oriented they were. They were true educators! During the many drives we went on, we got to view a ton of wildlife. The F&B program was excellent at Simbambili. I have celiac and really need to avoid gluten as much as possible. The chef and staff were so thoughtful with their offerings, and everything I had was of excellent quality and delicious. The blueberry muffins were some of the best I've ever had. What made Simbambili so special were the staff. Everybody was just so genuine and kind. It made it really hard to leave because they all felt like family by the end of the trip. A big thanks to Stan and Caroline for making our stay so memorable. We cannot wait to return in the future! A big plus with Simbambili is that it's an adult only property. So if you're looking for a lodge with less commotion, this is your place. You'll leave much more relaxed! .

Stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. It was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The main lodge and our huge room were beautifully styled, the pictures don’t do it justice! Total luxury. The food was great, we particularly enjoyed the lunches. Our guide, Doctor, was excellent! So knowledgable and passionate. As was our tracker, Service. We enjoyed every single drive and the animal sightings were fantastic. All the staff were great, everything was thought of. We were truly sad to leave - memories to last a lifetime.

This was our first safari and after an awful lot of research,I found myself always coming back to Simbambili. It certainly paid off and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived for our four night stay, we knew this was a caring team who really wanted to ensure your stay would be fabulous.The food was delicious and as other reviewers have said, lunch stood out as there was always a delicious variety of dishes to eat, and the view from your table, no restaurant has ever come close to what we saw...breathtaking. Special thanks to Andrew, who looked after us so well. We were lucky enough to have room No1 as this is quite close to the waterhole, where you never know who might come along for a drink. All the rooms are beautifully appointed and large. The housekeeping was excellent it almost felt someone was waiting quietly to keep it clean and tidy. We both had massages with wonderful Jane, best massage I've ever had, my husband, who wasn't sure about having one was equally impressed too. We must save our biggest praise for Mike our guide and tracker Sipho. We still can't believe the experiences we had on our drives. Without hesitation you will see the big five, and so much more. Mike always ensured we saw and learned something new every time we went out. The Bush walk we were fortunate to go on gave you a different view from what you saw from the jeep too. What ever question was asked about the nature around, Mike knew the answer. You would be whizzing along and suddenly the jeep would stop and Mike would point out either an owl or a terrapin, nothing was ever missed. Mike always ensured we were able to witness seeing so many animals, but always ensuring we weren't encroaching on their space too. We felt like we were in the middle of a nature programme sometimes, it was that good. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simbambili. We are looking at our photographs and still cant believe we were at the other end of the camera, we will never forget our time there. A huge thank you to Tamsin, Tania and all of the rest of team too, you were all so fabulous!!

My husband and I stayed at Simbambili in May 2023, on our third trip to South Africa. We wanted to stay somewhere different in Sabi Sand, and friends recommended Simbambili. It was wonderful, though you pay for the privilege! We usually choose (and rate) safari lodges on several critera: 1 safari/game drive experience 2 quality of accommodation 3 quality of service 4 food and wine 5 other factors, such as location, etc Simbambili delivered on all five factors. You can't go wrong with game drives in Sabi Sand, and it delivered yet again. Leopard in a tree (our first time after many game drives), and then as a bonus, leopards mating, along with some leopard and cub experiences. (Not to mention all the other animals). Trevor and Willies (ranger and tracker respectively) were a great pair. As Trevor said, he likes to talk, and Willies likes to track. Drives with them were both fun and informative. Highly recommend them. Also critically important for us in a game drive is only having six per vehicle (or two people per row). There isn't a great deal of legroom in the vehicles, let alone having space for extra jackets, cameras, water bottles etc. I was a bit hesitant about the quality of the accommodation, mainly because I think their photos online do not do the rooms justice. They are bigger than they appear in the photos, there is a couch inside as well as loungers by the plunge pool and a day bed outside on the deck. The furnishings are beautiful. I was very happy with the room. My only request would be for a bit more lighting behind the bed (where suitcases go) as changing at 5 am for early game drives can be a bit challenging. Otherwise it was superb. The service was really excellent, as we have found in all our South African safari lodges. Relaxed, friendly, courteous, they can't do enough for you. Branded refillable water bottles were given to each of us which is a nice touch. Every staff member we came across was friendly and helpful. We were there for a belated birthday (mine), and my husband's birthday was a day or two later. They celebrated this both at the boma meal, and also giving us a private dinner on our deck. If you go for a special occasion, let them know. You won't regret it. The food and wine was very good. Lunch especially was a highlight. A lunch platter, with a variety of salads and proteins, always delivered pleasant surprises. I dream about the salads. My husband and I have different likes and dislikes, but there was always something both of us loved. The location was great - yes, it is close to the border of the Reserve, but this doesn't affect game viewing at all. And unless you're right next to the fence, you always feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere. The Arathusa airstrip is close by, and was perfect for us to fly directly from (and back to) Johannesburg (on Federal Airlines). Unfortunately we could only stay three nights, even though it would have qualified us for an extra night free. This deal would have made the price shock much more palatable! Having visited a number of South African safari lodges, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Simbambili.
