Overview of Simbavati River Sands Villa
South Africa, Timbavati Game Reserve
Simbavati River Sands Villa, in the heart of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, offers an authentic safari experience. Set along the banks of the Nhlaralumi River, this exclusive lodge provides a serene retreat for wildlife lovers. The lodge is unfenced, allowing animals to roam freely and give you the best ‘arm-chair safari’ encounters. With open-air designs, private plunge pools, and beautifully crafted communal spaces, Simbavati River Sands Villas is ideal for travellers searching for the perfect combination of luxury and wilderness.
The lodge offers twice-daily game drives, guided by expert rangers and trackers, promising incredible sightings of the Big Five – most notably leopard and endangered wild dog. Whether you’re relaxing at the spa, soaking up the views from your private deck, or enjoying a meal under the stars, the bushveld atmosphere creates the ideal safari experience.

The upgrade to our camp in South Africa was 5 star. The rooms, staff and food were fantastic, we hated to leave!
