This is the nicest accomdation I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms are large and clean and every possible amenity available. The service is phenomenal. Once we had told them I was gluten free there was a gluten free baked option at every mealsnack. The management could not be more helpful.

Wow Wow Wow. Our 3 night stay at Camp George was absolutely amazing. Our Guide Joe was fantastic we thoroughly enjoyed his company on and off the safari. Joe’s knowledge of the wildlife and surrounds outstanding he was always surprising us with something new for us to see and chasing that elusive animal . Our breakfast at the waterhole a standout thanks to Marcos and his crew for the delicious crew we admired his passion and food theatrics. The waterhole at Camp George had elephants most days was so peaceful to sit nearby and watch them feed and have a drink Could not recommend this camp and their staff more highly.

As a Travel & Safari Specialist for Africa, I had the pleasure of visiting Camp George, which is part of the Simbavati Collection, on a site inspection for potential clients. While I only stayed for one night, it was more than enough to experience the magic this place holds. Here are the highlights: 🌍 Location Simbavati Camp George is nestled in a quiet, secluded corner of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the iconic Kruger National Park. Located in the more remote western section of the reserve, it truly gives you the sense of being deep in the wilderness. I love this back section, as it's known for being wilder compared to other parts of the reserve. The landscape here is diverse, ranging from rocky areas to expansive stretches of land that overlook the Klaserie River, providing ever-changing and stunning visual contrasts. The property itself is surrounded by lush gardens, filled with indigenous plant species that are carefully maintained. The manicured lawns and vibrant flora ensure that the camp remains green and blooming year-round, even during the dry season. However, travelers who prefer grounds that blend seamlessly with the natural bush might not find this as appealing. But for those who enjoy a peaceful oasis, both aesthetically and energetically, this is the perfect spot. A cool feature of the grounds is that they host one of the largest collections of cycads – an ancient, cone-bearing plant species that is now endangered. With over 200 cycads and all 38 species found in South Africa, it’s a unique aspect of the property. Additionally, the camp features a stunning waterhole that remains filled year-round, attracting a variety of game. This means that you can often experience incredible wildlife encounters without ever leaving the property. 🛖 Lodge Setting & Décor Camp George will appeal to those who appreciate beautiful interiors. It's a perfect blend of modern safari with a traditional twist, merging classic safari elements with contemporary design. The camp incorporates thatched rondavels, indigenous wood furniture, and curated collections of local art. Pops of color are thoughtfully scattered throughout the camp, drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors of the surrounding gardens, creating a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors. The entryway is grand, making you feel immediately welcomed. Upon entering, you’ll find yourself in the beautiful gardens, with rooms thoughtfully spaced to offer differing viewpoints of the surrounding bush, rocky features, and dry riverbed. The pool sits centrally in the grounds, surrounded by a variety of seating options, including pool loungers, couches, and those charming egg-shaped chairs. To the right of the pool is the waterhole, located just outside the electrified fence, as the entire camp is enclosed for safety. Continuing through the grounds, you'll arrive at the indoor sitting room and bar, followed by both indoor and outdoor dining areas.

We love the resort- amazing driver, friendly staff, great food, and lovely accommodations. The staff made every meal unique, including a buffet breakfast by a water hole and we watched animals. While the resort is expensive, it was with every penny!

What an experience of a lifetime! Living comfortably in an African jungle and feeling safe in such close proximity to the wild animals during the game drives.

Every aspect was incredible - I agree with other reviewers description as unforgettable. Game drives were exciting, fun, unlike anything we’d ever done before; our ranger, Ralden, had deep knowledge of the land, plants, and animals; and clearly loved his job, and loved sharing his knowledge with us. Every meal was elevated and delicious; the rooms and setting were unique and wonderful; and all of the staff (especially barman Mr. Innocent) made us feel welcome and cared for.

Simbavati Camp George is the laid back lodge of the collection (in my opinion). They have stunning gardens with hanging chairs and lots of space, so that you can enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings, even if the lodge is full. Joe, our guide, was an absolute asset to the lodge. He did his very best to get us the most animal sightings. He has been in the guiding business for many years before coming to Camp George, and I think he has found the right place where his guiding skills are our privilege as guests to enjoy. Just as we were arriving back to the lodge from our evening safari, suddenly he spotted a leopard right outside the lodge...EPIC!! The food also left nothing to be desired, it was great! Thank you for having me stay!
