Simbavati Trails Camp

Simbavati Trails Camp is a luxury but back to basics walking trails camp located in a secluded area of the Timbavati, adjacent to the world renowned Kruger National Park. Hearty meals are prepared over an open fire by an expert cook, and there is no electricity, nor cellphone reception.

The days here begin with a 3 hour walking safari, done at a leisurely pace with an armed specialist guide. Experiencing the bush on foot is entirely different from being on a safari vehicle, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the mesmerising sights, sounds and smells of the African bush.

Upon your arrival back at camp, enjoy tasty brunch before a well deserved siesta or good book to read.  You will then head out again at the end of the afternoon for another 3 hour walk, ending at a viewpoint to enjoy an unforgettable African sunset.  A short drive will bring you back to camp, with time to then freshen up before dinner around the campfire. 

The camp can accommodate a maximum of 8 guests in 4 en-suite Meru-style safari tents,each with bucket showers filled on demand with warm water.

So that you can enjoy the full walking trails experience, a stay of at least 3 nights is recommended.
