Simbavati Waterside Luxury Safari Lodge in the Klaserie Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park. 1/23 Location The Southern Klaserie Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park. DESCRIPTION: Flanking a large dam in the southern Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Waterside was conceptualised, designed and built to be a natural extension of the pure utopian Klaserie wilderness from which it draws its inspiration.

Suited for any traveller, Simbavati Waterside offers luxury accommodation for families and couples. Families can enjoy interleading family suites and family safaris. While, those in search of romance will enjoy the lodge’s many intimate spaces, imaginative private dining settings, and surprise treats to celebrate honeymoons and anniversaries.

This area is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and is one of the most diverse and scenically attractive areas in the Kruger National Park. This area is certainly the wildest and most remote part of the Park and offers varied vegetation, great game viewing, the best birding in all of the Kruger, and is filled with folklore of the early explorers and ancient civilisations. It is well known for its fever tree forests, beautiful gorges and Crook’s Corner, where the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers and three countries, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique, meet. The region is considered one of Kruger's biodiversity hotspots, with some of the largest herds of elephant and buffalo, leopard and lion and incredibly prolific birdlife. This comfortable luxury safari accommodation stretches along the Luvuvhu River on raised wooden walkways. The camp has 19 designer tents with en-suite bathrooms including indoor and outdoor showers.

A bush bar, swimming pool and al-fresco dining area offer everyday entertainment, and there’s plenty of space to unwind beneath the branches of the giant trees embracing the camp. Activities in the Makuleke / Pafuri area are extremely varied and interesting. Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, guided walks and fly-fishing are all part of the range of activities that are on offer. One of the most important aspects of this area is its paleo-anthropological history, with its plethora of evidence of early human ancestors stretching back some 2 million years ago, through the Stone Age and into the Iron Age about 400 years ago when the Thulamela dynasty ruled in this area. Three delicious meals are served each day and guests are invited to take advantage of professionally guided morning and afternoon game drives to experience the extraordinary biodiversity, scenic splendour and history for which the Pafuri region is renowned. More adventurous guests can opt for guided bush walks where our guides will reveal many of the intimate secrets of the African bush. Close encounters with animals, both large and small are commonplace. An extraordinary wildlife experience awaits. Large herds of elephant roam the area together with healthy populations of buffalo, antelope, leopard, hyena and more. Due to its fantastic riverside location Pafuri Camp is also the destination of choice for avid birders and guests are regularly treated to sightings of rare species including the elusive Pels Fishing Owl.

  • RockFig Safari Lodge

    Great special at Saseka Teneted Camp, Thornybush Nature Reserve, Greater Kruger. RockFig Safari Lodge Luxury Safari Lodge in the Timbavati Reserve 1/18 Location Set in the heart of Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, adjacent to the famous Kruger National Park, RockFig Safari Lodge is well situated for forays into the African wilds. DESCRIPTION: The luxurious Rockfig Safari Lodge, was created to showcase and merge with its magnificent Timbavati setting. A relaxed ambiance is formed through the skilful flow between indoor and outdoor designer spaces, and the décor, beautiful furnishings and art pieces allow for both communal and private moments suffused with an authentic bush feel. Just six suites have in- and outdoor showers, baths with views and private verandahs. On a winters evening, settle in the lounge beside the fireplace, sharing safari stories. Meals have an emphasis on local produce and are whipped up in the open-plan kitchen, where guests can watch the process and perhaps pick up a few tips. Dining takes place at a communal table, in the boma beside a crackling fire, or on your private verandah (for a romantic candlelit dinner). When not on game drives and bush walks in search of the animals which inhabit this big 5 reserve, perhaps relax beside the pool with its outlook over the waterhole, or enjoy a rejuvenating spa treatment. RockFig Safari Lodge features just six chalet-type suites, which additionally provides an alternative option for exclusive-use bookings for families or groups of friends. The sense of place comes through strongly, with the colour palette in each room inspired by the purple and green hues of local birds and plants. Although guests are always conscious of where they are, no stone is left unturned in the quest for comfort and luxury, with each suite featuring both indoor and outdoor showers, a private verandah ideal for romantic candlelit dinners, a minibar and a bath. Exciting safari activities are on offer at Rockfig Safari Lodge in Timbavati. Game drives (vehicle safaris) rank among the quintessential Timbavati experiences, and the fieldguides and trackers at Rockfig pride themselves on providing unforgettable, close but safe wildlife encounters. Timbavati is home to the Big Five, and as many of the trackers grew up in the area they are able to put all their local knowledge to work to ensure the best possible wildlife sightings. Of course being out on safari isn’t just about wiildlife; it is also your chance to appreciate the beauty of the South African bushveld while traversing it. Guided walking safaris are an exciting way to experience Timbavati Game Reserve on foot. Bring your walking shoes; the guides and trackers have everything else that’s required, not least their knowledge of tracks and plants. Spending time on the details of the ecosystem can be immensely rewarding, and surprising. Learn how every living creature, no matter how small, has its part to play in this interlinked web of life.
