Simbambili Game Lodge, tucked away in the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, offers world-class wildlife viewing opportunities. With a history spanning over a decade under the care of its dedicated managers, Mike and Tania, the lodge provides a comfortable yet sophisticated ambience. It's nestled among dense stands of knobthorn and jackalberry trees along the winding Manyeleti River, offering guests a tranquil retreat. The lodge's exceptional location allows you to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the company of the waterhole's ever-changing visitors.

Recently renovated, the lodge's suites seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment. With only nine separate rooms, the lodge exudes an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Each suite is spaciously designed with a king bed, living room area, small bar area, and a large bathroom.

I cannot say enough good things about this lodge!!! The whole experience was amazing!! The food was exceptional and the room is fantastic, but the safari's were beyond phenomenal!!! Our driver (Doctor) and guide (Service) were amazing. Our first morning out we saw all of the Big 5 and a whole host of other animals.... They get you up close and personal, without feeling nervous that you are about to get eaten... :) I cannot recommend this lodge enough! Read more

Authenticity & Character
The lodge only had 9 separate rooms, but it made it feel more intimate and not crowded.
Location
It took about 2 hours to drive there from the airport, but once you get there.... it is all worth it!!!
Staff
Stan took care of use while we stayed at the lodge and looked after our every need. Our driver (Doctor) and guide (Service) for the safari's were exceptional and took us out into the bush to find the animals provided an experience I will never forget.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The room is extremely large with a king bed, living room area, small bar area, and a huge bathroom! Everything is extremely clean and comfortable.
