Nice Location in the middle of the bush. But no too safe. Hyena next to tent (Tent was also a bit eaten by the animals)

“Our second time there. Won't be long before the third time follows!”

Location: right in the middle of the African bush. Very peacefull. Food: Top notch. Typical African cuisine. Staff: Extremely friendly and catering to every need. Chef, butler, camp hand, guide, cleaner Activities: Twice daily walks in the veld with the armed guide, who is extremely knowledgeable. Very educational. The highlight undoubtedly was the elephants comeing to drink from the camp pool (dry season), literally metres away - hugely thrilling.

“Nice atmosphere, high price”

Very friendly and enthusiastic staff; always welcoming and ready to accomplish all the requests. Interesting (although not always exciting) walks in the bush, with competent guides that teaches about details of the bush. Good dinner under the stars. Very nice to see elephants coming for drink at the pool. Overall atmosphere is very good.

“We don't just say we will be going back, we really are; booking has been made!”

Remote location exactly what we required. Extremely friendly staff Personal attention Fabulous food Bush walks thrilling

“Extremely overpriced, very disappointed.”

Chef Linda was so happy and friendly.

“The place to go to connect with yourself and nature.”

An intimate, off-the-grid camp in the heart of the reserve. Excellent attention to detail and 7-star treatment by the wonderful staff.

“Amazing and unforgettable experience”

We loved the location in the middle of the bush. The amenities and the comfort are outstanding while eco responsible. The staff is absolutely lovely and very careful while being very professional. The food is excellent and changes every day, the walk games are wonderful even if of course you don't see as many animals as in cars...but the contact with the nature and the intercation with animals is unique...and our guide was so nice and skilled. I defintely recommend to anyone who wants to live a true expreience in the bush

“Exceptional experience”

Exceptional everything, we loved our stay and experience. The accommodation is remote, perfect to relax and disconnect from everyday life, the food was out of this world each dish only got better, our walks were well guided and informative. All the staff at the camp were friendly helpful and went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be coming back.

“Life in the African bush”

The passion and enthusiasm of the entire staff and guides. Raphael, Donald, Linda, Nicolas and JR as well as Edward and Guianie. Service and the warm hospitality were on point and beyond. The knowledge of the guides about animals, trees and plants is fascinating and you can feel and see that they love the life in the bush.

“Best Bush break!”

Absolute luxury with the best food and amazing staff and guides.

The Love of the people

From the moment we entered this beautiful place we forgot about the hectic and stress of the modern world. Naturally grounded without WiFi, electricity but with candles and campfire after sunset and the smell and noises of the bush around...The hospitality could not be better and the entire staff walked more than an extra mile! We will return and already booked again!

It very interesting place. this camp specific for walking safari. and it's tents in open bush, animals can walk around tents. it's amazing experience. its portable shower on the air back side of the tent, no tap, only a washing basin and a jug. Only 4 tents in the camp. Food was very tasty Staff very friendly and professional. During our stay we saw like elephants drink a water from a swimming pool )) it's was brilliant Definitely must visit for 1 or 2 nights!

“Bush adventure”

I can honestly say that we have never experienced such personal attention and care as we had at the Simbavati Trails Camp. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by every member of the outstanding staff. The walks were exceptional, with CJ and Geoff as our very knowledgeable guides. Miles was the perfect hostess, Donald a fabulous butler and Rafael and Thomson superb chefs. With elephants coming right up to the pooldeck during sundowners and lions roaming between our tents at night, we were lucky to enjoy some authentic African bush entertainment :)
