Tucked away in the world-renowned Sabi Sands Nature Reserve, Simbambili is an intimate, luxury safari lodge ideal for romantic getaways and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Set among ancient Knobthorn and Jackalberry trees, the sophisticated and stylish design is merged with unspoiled natural surroundings. Each of the nine air-conditioned suites features a private deck with a plunge pool, shaded Sala, and uninterrupted views of the waterhole which is often frequented by wildlife. The spacious Honeymoon and Waterhole Suites offer even more seclusion, perfect for couples. All suites include en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs, outdoor showers, and complimentary amenities. Sabi Sands is renowned for its game viewing and prolific leopard sightings. After your safari, unwind at the wellness centre, complete with a gym, spa, library, and a tranquil communal pool.
