Simbavati River Lodge

With a welcoming atmosphere and a unique, contemporary twist on traditional Kenyan safari décor, Simbavati offers an authentic and budget-friendly African safari experience. You'll watch elephants drink at the river from the comfort of the open-air dining deck, and unwind in a choice of tented or chalet-style accommodation. This breathtaking region also offers exceptional game viewing experiences, including all of the Big Five, most notably leopard, and also wild dog. All of which you'll spot on your daily game drives, alongside sundowners, night drives, boma dinners, spa sessions and family-friendly activities and experiences. The food here revolves around a 'Berg to Plate' philosophy, incorporating fresh farmed produce from the area, local flavours and unique cooking techniques... utterly delicious!
