James
Simbavati Hilltop is top notch! From the 9 times per day (yes, that is NINE times) that you are fed, to the staff, game drives, views and rooms! Not only do you have your own plunge pool overlooking the river, but there is also a shared, larger pool. There is also a daybed at the room, outdoor shower, fully stocked complimentary mini bar and very comfortable bed!
We saw hippo and elephant from our room. On game drives, lions feasting on a giraffe, hyena and wild dogs interacting, 2 leopards and more.
We have now stayed at all of the Simbavati lodges in Timbavati and Klasarie and they are all excellent! Highly recommend!

We had a true African bush experience with many wildlife sightings. It was humbling and relaxing and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. A wonderful team of people.

The stay was a dream
Thanks Simbavati for an amazing stay! The staff were all so nice. My boyfriend had cheese allergy, so every meal they either made him something separate or tweaked it for him. Food was excellent. We each had a massage and it was reasonably priced. Our tent was #1. Although it didn't have a clear river view, we had elephants visit us multiple times in our front yard. And last night they prepared our room to celebrate our anniversary.

Lodging and food was excellent. Staff were friendly.
Game drives were only OK - I don’t appreciate putting too many people in the game drive vehicle so that some have to sit in the middle and not have good views, especially with the amount of money you pay for this lodge. I know of some other places that limit people to 6 a vehicle so everyone has a window seat. I recommend that Simbavati do the same. Also need to make more of an effort to position vehicle so both sides get views (can’t always be done, I know, but often can when animals are resting).

Amazing Safari Experience
It's our first safari experience. Went into it without expectations, but was left awed not only by the nature and wildlife, but also the people working in this lodge. The whole experience was unforgettable and we will definitely return for another trip in the future.

Vivamente consigliato
Posto eccezionale. Durante i safari abbiamo visto tutti gli animali possibili: elefanti, giraffe, iene, leoni, rinoceronti, zebre, leopardi, bufali, ... miti e da pochissimi metri di distanza.
L'hotel è veramente confortevole. Servizio estremamente cortese.

Un sueño hecho realidad!!!
Simbavati Hilltop es un sueño hecho realidad! Las instalaciones y la vista que tienes de todas las cabañas y las áreas comunes es impresionante. Ves hipopótamos todo el tiempo en el río! Las cabañas son increíbles, tiene una cama en el deck que es espectacular. La ducha está afuera y tiene una vista linda. El baño tiene una bañera al lado de la ventana de la que no te quisieras ir nunca. La cama del cuarto tiene calentador eléctrico. La comida, la piscina, el servicio son perfectos. Los safaris increíbles, vimos rinos, elefantes, leopardos, bufalos, jirafas, impalas, wilddogs, kudus y muchos más, también muchas aves preciosas. Gracias por días esos días perfectos Mondray, Leandra, Daniel, Colbert, Derek!!! Fue un sueño estar ahí! Recomendadísimoooooo! Vayan!!!!

Au milieu du bush
Quel plaisir d'être au milieu de la nature, de voir les animaux au pied de votre lodge tout en profitant du comfort de l'endroit, de l'excellente restauration et de la gentillesse du personnel

Supervistelse
Otroligt bra lodge! Allt är helt super! Vår guide hette Greg och var superbra. Han var huvudguide för lodgen. Kunnig, trevlig och rolig. Collence hans tracker har den bästa syn som jag någonsin råkat på. han såg bättre med bara ögonen än vad alla andra gjorde med kikare. mycket bra mat. Servicen helt otroligt bra. Mycket trevlig pool där man kunde ligga och flyta runt på en flytande fatboy med ett glas vin i handen medans man spanade ut över savannen med. Rekommenderas varmt
