Exclusive Use Collection
OVERVIEW
Simbavati’s Exclusive Use Collection
Simbavati Lodge Collection takes pride in offering our diverse Exclusive Use Collection, a range of private villas, cottages and camps.
Each is utterly unique and tailored for families and small groups of friends seeking memorable, private and personalised travel experiences within their own space and with the high standards and offerings synonymous with the Simbavati promise of Africalm.
There is something to appeal to everyone. From two couples looking for an exclusive and luxurious safari tailored to their needs, to a family seeking to set their own safari rhythm with the freedom to relax and be themselves on holiday.
Our exclusive-use safari lodges come with a dedicated safari guide and vehicle so that you can tailor the safari experience to suit your needs (with the exception of Simbavati Trails Camp which focuses on walking safaris exclusively).
