The Simbavati Lodge Safari is designed around Africalm — a philosophy of reconnecting with nature through silence and presence.
The four-night stay must be taken consecutively as one continuous adventure and is comprised of two parts:
- The Walking Safari (2 Nights): Located in a remote, pristine corner of the Timbavati, Simbavati Trails Camp is a secluded gem with just four luxury Meru-style tents. There is no electricity or Wi-Fi here; your days are dictated by the rhythm of the bush. Led by armed specialist guides, you will explore the landscape on foot, training your senses to notice the subtle tracks and medicinal secrets of the wilderness.
- The Lodge Safari (2 Nights): Transition to a second Simbavati lodge (such as River Lodge or Hilltop) for a more contemporary, high-luxury experience. Enjoy twice-daily game drives in open vehicles to track the Big Five and the Timbavati’s legendary white lions, returning to infinity pools, world-class dining, and starlit boma dinners.
To accompany your journey, you will receive a curated Creation Ridge Wine Box featuring six bottles from the acclaimed Ridge range. Consistently ranked amongst the Top 10 of the World’s Best Vineyards and frequently named the best in Africa, Creation Wines is a pioneer of high-altitude viticulture on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Personally selected by cellarmaster JC Martin, this box highlights terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — wines defined by their "cool-climate" elegance and mineral tension. The collection includes detailed tasting notes and a personal message from the winemaker, offering a sensory bridge between the Cape Floral Kingdom and the African bush.
