Traveller Reviews

  • Both lodges were great. We felt that we had a more personilized stay in Simbambili. They prepared a private dinner for us in the room and that was great!

    Mauricio Wroclawski, September 2012
  • The Simbambili Lodge was an excellent choice; the quality service was remarkably visible in every aspect: the daily welcoming by Allison, the room accommodations, the personal touch of providing "your butler" for the duration of our stay. They allowed us in to the kitchen to prepare our kosher food. The game drives were productive and rewarding, giving us many opportunities to observe the various wildlife in their natural habitat.

    Hy Ruby, September 2012
  • We absolutely loved Simbambili, the service was amazing, they were so friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent there. The game drives were good, although a different experience to my last safari, as it is very much about TRACKING the animals rather than just driving around looking for them. We saw all of the ones we were looking for, but I would warn people if that is their first safari, that they may not see LOTS of animals.

    Deborah King, August 2012
  • Simbambili - The highlight of our trip! You picked all accommodations/services for us perfectly but this was AMAZING. We can't rave about it enough. Managers/staff/our ranger, tracker, butler - everyone was so awesome! Every meal was gourmet and perfect.

    Jennifer Lee, August 2012
  • We were very pleased with all the accommodation you suggested and would not hesitate to recommend Simbambili Lodge as a Safari base. We were amazd to see so much wild life on our game drives and we were extremely well looked after at the lodge.

  • Our stay at Simbambili was amazing. We loved everything about it. This is exactly what we were looking for.

    Vannier Laurent, May 2012
  • Of course, if we had to pick a favorite, it would be Simbambili. Our experience there was absolutely incredible, and I would very highly recommend the lodge to anyone. The staff, the food, the accommodations - all of it was excellent.

    Melissa Oxman, May 2012
  • This was a wonderful weekend away... the lodge pampered us and had a very special valentines celebration - we truely enjoyed our visit. As well we saw leopards and cheetahs and even wild dogs (a rarity I hear).

    Julie Detomo, April 2012
  • Simbambili was amazing! Every single staff member was so incredibly nice. They went above and beyond. I was sad to leave. Our game drives have left me speechless!! I knew we would get close to the animals, but I never imagine getting as close as we did. Our ranger Shoes and our tracker Doctor were awesome. We saw all of the big 5 by our second game drive. We saw 6 different leopard, which we were told doesn’t happen that often. Simbambili is truly a fabulous place. The accommodations were incredible. It was pure luxury.

    Kristin Etre, April 2012
  • We LOVED Simbabili, best viewing!
