Simbambili Game Lodge, Thornybush
Set on a dry riverbed, Simbambili’s eight rooms offer views of an active watering hole and savannah grassland in the distance. Guests can enjoy the setting from their personal plunge pool and ‘sala’ (relaxation area), while the thick vegetation creates additional privacy without compromising the view. Each guest is appointed an efficient butler who is available during the stay to ensure the experience is more memorable. The watering hole is frequented by game throughout the year and guests can expect good viewings from their room. Meals are served on the deck, outdoors in one of the bomas, or, on special nights, in the dry riverbed for a truly memorable dining experience. The food has a strong South African influence and offers guests a good selection of venison and other local treats. Simbambilis’ owners and management are very involved in the local community and source most of the organic produce locally. The conference centre doubles up as a lounge with a television when not in use. Guests can also relax in the special health spa or catch a quick workout in the well-equipped gym.
