River Lodge, part of the Simbavati Safari Lodges collection in the Timbavati Game Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, is currently undergoing refurbishment.
Upgrades already completed at River Lodge include re-thatching the public areas and family chalets; the addition of a large floodlit waterhole directly in front of the main deck; and the enlargement and landscaping of the swimming pool area. The footpaths to the luxury tents have also been moved further away from the tents to provide more privacy.
The second phase will entail the systematic replacement and upgrade of the eight luxury tents and the redecoration of the public areas, all of which is expected to be completed by December. The planned upgrade will not affect the guest experience and the lodge will remain open during the entire period.
Simbavati Hilltop Lodge recently celebrated its first anniversary with upgrades that include the installation of daybeds at each of the eight tented suites, additional seating around the pool as well as public area decks on the lawn in front of the lodge.
