Simbavati Amani is a charming, intimate safari villa in the peaceful heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, perfect for couples or can be taken on an exclusive use basis to create your own private bush retreat.
Warm evenings are spent socialising around the fire-pit, marvelling at the star-studded sky whilst animal calls echo through the darkness. Daytime means morning and evening guided game drives in the unfenced reserve, a part of the Greater Kruger and home to all the Big Five - leopard, rhino, lion, elephant and buffalo. The reserve is also home to home to a wide variety of predators, including spotted hyenas, jackals and wild dogs. Hippo, giraffe, a variety of antelope, an array of birdlife, baboons, monkeys and mongooses can be spotted daily, to name but a few.
The gardens offer a tranquil oasis, shaded by mature trees. They flow down to a secluded entertaining area with infinity pool, terrace, alfresco bar and campfire and overlook a rewarding and flood-lit waterhole.
There are only 4 luxury suites within the villa. Each bedroom has its own private entrance onto the garden.
The central guest area boasts a magnificent double volume sitting room, a mezzanine library area, and an interactive kitchen area. The sitting room opens onto a large wooden deck which provides the perfect setting for the ultimate dining experience. A pathway leads to a swimming pool to allow you a moment to relax and take in the African sun.

Amani is too small to offer spa treatments on site but guests can be transferred by vehicle to nearby Camp George which has a Safari Spa (and also a fully equipped gym.) This is only 5 minutes drive away.
All rooms are non-smoking however guests are welcome to smoke on the terrace or deck - please request an ashtray and dispose of cigarette stubs carefully as the vegetation is often dry and quick to burn!
