Simbavati River Lodge

The lodge is at once warm and welcoming and consists of eight luxury safari tents and three chalets, all privately situated and comfortably furnished with en-suite facilities. Breakfast and lunch are served daily outside on the wooden deck, set out under age-old Jackalberry and Leadwood trees, combining African and Western cuisine offering exciting new tastes for the more adventurous as well as for the more conventional preferences. A traditional dinner is served around the campfire in an open-air "Boma", an experience not to be missed.
