Discover the enchanting beauty of our Simbavati Waterside Lodge, where luxury and nature blend seamlessly in the heart of the Klaserie Nature Reserve. 















This exquisite lodge invites guests to immerse themselves in the serene wilderness of one of South Africa’s most treasured conservation areas, offering a unique and intimate safari experience.



Here are 7 Reasons Why You Should Visit our Waterside Lodge in Klaserie



We've listed 7 reasons why you should add our Waterside lodge to the top of your travel list, where adventure, relaxation, and the spirit of "Local is Lekker" await.



1. The Pristine Wilderness of Klaserie Nature Reserve



The Klaserie Nature Reserve is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Covering over 60,000 hectares, it is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in South Africa and forms part of the Greater Kruger Park. This vast expanse of unspoiled wilderness is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. The reserve’s diverse habitats, from dense riverine forests to open savannahs, support a rich variety of flora and fauna, making every game drive a new adventure.







Unlike the more crowded tourist destinations, Klaserie offers an exclusive and serene environment where visitors can experience the magic of the African bush in peace. The reserve’s commitment to conservation and sustainable tourism ensures that the natural beauty and ecological integrity of the area are preserved for future generations.



2. Comfort & Elegance Intertwined



Our Waterside lodge is designed to provide guests with an unparalleled blend of comfort and elegance. Each suite is a private sanctuary, featuring contemporary decor with African accents that reflect the natural surroundings.











Spacious and thoughtfully appointed, the suites offer modern amenities such as air conditioning, luxurious linens, and private decks with stunning views of the bushveld.



3. The Sleepout Deck: A Front-Row Seat to Nature’s Spectacle



One of the most significant features of our Waterside Lodge is the Sleepout Deck. Perched above a tranquil dam, this deck offers a perfect vantage point to observe the natural beauty and wildlife of the Klaserie Nature Reserve. Here, guests can relax on comfortable seating and enjoy the serene ambiance as they watch wildlife come to the water’s edge to drink.















The Sleepout Deck is an ideal spot for unwinding with a refreshing beverage or indulging in a delicious meal while soaking in the breathtaking views. Morning coffees, sundowners, and evening stargazing sessions become extraordinary experiences on this deck, where the sights and sounds of the African wilderness create an unforgettable backdrop.



4. Culinary Delights with Local Flair















Dining at the lodge is a journey through the rich flavors of South African cuisine. The lodge’s chefs craft delectable dishes using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, ensuring that each meal is a feast for the senses. Whether you’re enjoying a hearty breakfast, a light lunch by the pool, or a gourmet dinner under the stars, the culinary offerings at Waterside are sure to delight.



5. Immersive Safari Experiences



The Klaserie Nature Reserve offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in South Africa. Guests at Waterside Lodge can embark on guided game drives and bush walks, led by experienced and knowledgeable guides. These excursions provide intimate encounters with the diverse wildlife and insights into the complex ecosystems of the reserve. 















Tracking a pride of lions, observing a herd of elephants, or spotting a rare bird species are just some of the thrilling experiences that await.



6. Celebrating Local Culture and Conservation



At Waterside, the ethos of "Local is Lekker" is deeply ingrained in every aspect of the guest experience. The lodge celebrates South African culture through various activities, including traditional dance performances, storytelling sessions, and visits to nearby villages. These interactions provide guests with a deeper appreciation of the region’s vibrant cultural heritage.















Simbavati is also committed to conservation and sustainable tourism. The lodge actively participates in initiatives to protect the environment and support local communities. Guests are encouraged to engage in these efforts, fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to the natural world.

In the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Waterside is nestled within the tranquil wilderness. There you'll find a gem that radiates warmth and healing. Molly, one of our beloved spa therapists, is a beacon of positivity and genuine care. With the biggest smile and a heartwarming character, she touches the lives of every guest she meets.



Molly has been a cherished member of our lodge family since 2020, and she quickly became a favourite amongst our guests. Her healing hands work wonders during therapies and treatments, and her welcoming personality creates an atmosphere of comfort and serenity at our superb spa.











A Passion for Revitalisation



One of the things that sets Molly apart is her admiration for the Healing Earth products used at the spa. These eco-friendly, all-natural products align perfectly with Simbavati Waterside's commitment to nature and well-being. Molly's passion for these products shines through in the care and attention she brings to every spa experience.



Molly's journey as a spa therapist is fueled by her deep desire to make people feel good about their bodies and, equally important, to feel good in their bodies. Through her skillful massages and a range of other spa treatments, her mission is to soothe and rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit.



She thrives on providing healing, relaxation, and comfort to our guests. It's a source of immense pride for Molly when she knows that a guest arrived at the spa feeling stressed, tense, or in discomfort, but after her treatment, they leave feeling light, refreshed, and completely soothed.



Molly's words are testament to her commitment: "Sometimes guests arrive at the spa with sad faces and leave with happy faces, all because of Molly."















A Bundle of Sunshine and Smiles



One guest's feedback perfectly encapsulates Molly's magic. They shared that from the moment Molly introduced herself until the moment they left Simbavati Waterside, Molly was a bundle of sunshine, always adorned with her infectious smile. Her unwavering positivity left an indelible impression on the guest, ensuring they felt a deep sense of warmth and calm throughout their stay.



Molly, with her healing touch and radiant personality, epitomises the spirit of Simbavati Waterside—a place where nature's beauty and incredible hospitality come together to create a memorable safari.
