Our Story
Crafting Unforgettable Safari Experiences
Our Philosophy
Nurture in Nature
You may have almost forgotten that there is a natural world out there that is so vast and surprising. Now as we start to stir again, it is time to nurture not only your senses, but your soul.
At Simbavati, we strive every day to make our experiences more meaningful, immersive and sustainable.
We see first-hand how this can positively impact you, our guests, but also the people you meet, and the wildlife and landscapes you encounter. A restorative adventure for you; vital support for communities and the environment.
Never be in any doubt that your trip to Simbavati is doing anything but good.
A Natural Re-set
Our goal is to help you reconnect with nature and, in turn, reconnect with yourself and the friends and family you're traveling with. As you explore, you also enrich your inner life, creating a positive personal impact that continues beyond this one trip.
Nothing can quite compare with the sense of wellbeing gained from spending time in nature, nourished with simple comforts. The luxury of our lodges, the amicable warmth of our team, eating well and fresh air is what everybody needs.
As you fall into the rhythm of nature, you slowly drift away from everyday stress and move towards being more mindful and centred. (The exceptional spa treatments can play their part, too.)
Our Values
What We Stand For
Authentic Immersion
Experience Africa beyond the ordinary through meaningful encounters with its landscapes, wildlife, and cultures. We create journeys that foster genuine connection and a deeper appreciation of place.
Sustainable & Minimal Footprint
We are committed to preserving the environments that inspire us by operating responsibly and thoughtfully. Every stay is designed to balance exceptional experiences with long-term conservation.
Exceptional Hospitality
Warm, intuitive service lies at the heart of every experience we curate. From the smallest details to the most memorable moments, we strive to make every guest feel genuinely cared for.
Community Upliftment
We believe tourism should create lasting value for the people who call these landscapes home. Through local partnerships, employment, and community initiatives, we contribute to shared growth and opportunity.
Our Team
The Heart of Our Hospitality
The people behind the experience are what make it truly unforgettable. Every member of the team works together to share the beauty of the landscapes, wildlife, and warm hospitality that make this place so special. From the moment you arrive, the aim is simple — to make you feel completely at home, as though you've found a second home in the wild.
Our guides are passionate storytellers, eager to share their knowledge of the wildlife, surrounding landscapes, local history, and culture. In the kitchen, our talented chefs craft flavourful dishes inspired by fresh, locally sourced ingredients and regional tastes. The front-of-house team is always on hand with a friendly smile, ready to assist with anything you may need. Behind the scenes, our grounds team carefully nurtures the natural beauty of the property, while our housekeepers ensure your suite remains welcoming, comfortable, and immaculate throughout your stay. And of course, our waiters and bar staff are always delighted to hear about your day's adventures, with your favourite drink never far away.
