If using a GPS to get to Simbavati, please use the GPS Co-ordinates: S 24° 12’ 20.2” E 31° 19’ 24.2”.
Do not type in Simbavati into your GPS. It will try and direct you through Kruger National Park which is incorrect.
Please note you cannot access the Lodge through Kruger Park but only through the Timbavati Gate as per the directions below.
Follow the tar road from the Eastgate Airport/Timbavati turn-off for 44 km straight to the Simbavati turn-off.
(GPRS coordinates for the Simbavati turn-off: S 24° 12’ 20.2” E 31° 19’ 24.2”).
Turn right onto the dirt road and follow the lion footprints for approximately 6.4 km to the lodge.
On the tar road you will go through 2 control gates.
At the second gate you enter the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve where you will pay a Vehicle Entrance Fee per vehicle.
Keep your permit, as the Lodge will issue you with an exit permit when you return again.
Very important: Please do not arrive at the lodge late, as you will then miss the afternoon game drive and lunch.
It is also safer not to drive in the reserve when it is dark. If you are going to be late due to unforeseen circumstances please call us:
