Simbavati Waterside, I just have to say AMAZING!!!!! Upon arrival to the airport we were met by Julian our guide and once we got to the resort we were welcomed by the wonderful staff. The lodge and rooms are top notch! Decor was spot on for the feel of safari. We had two rooms and both rooms were clean and elegant. Kevin was our server for all meals and he was outstanding with a great personality. He even showed off his dance moves during some of the dinners. Always greeting us with a huge smile. Julian was our guide and was awesome! He is very knowledgeable of all the animals that we encountered. He was even able to find us 5 of the big 5 and also the African wild dog. His care for the animals and the African Bush is second to none. We were lucky and found a pride of lions lying in the road on the way back to the lodge and Julian was almost if not more excited than we were. Just shows his passion for his career. Rodney and Shaddy were our trackers and they did amazing work. Watching how they interacted with the animals was interesting especially when the elephants got really close to the truck. The food was amazing each meal. Coffee and light bakery before the mourning Safari and then breakfast after. Lunches were perfect sizes and after the afternoon Safari dinners were exceptional. Presentation and tase was spot on. Kitchen staff were also very friendly. All in all it was an AMAZING great trip and I would highly recommend Simbavati Waterside to any families that are looking for an African Safari. The Anderson Family

Had the most AMAZING experience at Waterside. I was lucky enough to get engaged around the wonderful staff who made us feel so at home. Every thing from the room, to the food, to the people, to the decor was spectacular. Julian and Rodney were brilliant and really went out of their way to make sure we saw as much as possible on the drives! Susie was our brilliant butler who went out of her way to make it special and the rest of the staff were so amazing too! Thank you- we hope to be back to such a special place!

Dear Simbavati Waterside Team, Please allow me to sincerely thank you for one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life—one that I will remember for a very long time. Our stay at your lodge was truly exceptional and unforgettable for both me and my family. I greatly appreciate the high level of professionalism and care you provide to your guests. In particular, I admire your concept of maintaining an intimate capacity, which makes the entire safari experience authentic, peaceful, and highly personalized. It is clear that every detail—from the organization of the safari to the daily service—is thoughtfully executed to perfection. I would also like to highlight the outstanding work of your entire team—from the kitchen staff and housekeeping to reception and overall guest coordination. Every team member contributes to making guests feel genuinely welcomed and valued. A special thank you goes to two remarkable members of your team—our guide Julien and tracker Rodney. Julien was exceptionally professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He always took the time to explain everything in detail—from animal behavior to plants and birdlife—and we learned so much throughout our stay. Thanks to his expertise, we always had the best possible positioning for observing, photographing, and filming wildlife. I would also like to commend tracker Rodney, whose contribution was invaluable. His skills, attitude, and seamless cooperation with Julien created a perfectly synchronized team that delivered a truly unique safari experience. Both are true professionals in their field and deserve the highest recognition. If it were possible, I would gladly give them a rating of 10 out of 10. I also greatly appreciated the approach of the hotel management, who checked on us daily and showed genuine care and attention to every guest. Once again, thank you all for an exceptional stay. I truly believe this was not our last visit, and we will be very happy to return in the future. Yours sincerely, Holosko family

Beautiful lodge, friendly staff, stunning location, rooms were stunning, really comfy bed. Drives were good, didn’t see a huge amount of animals but as a first timer I loved it. My one moan is the food. Breakfast was very good, but lunch and dinner was average. I had a carbonara one day that you could slice like a cake, very stodgy with no sauce. Such a shame. Our ranger and look out were knowledgeable and quite good fun. Not a place for friends to visit together I would say, more a romantic place for couples. I did love it though. If you go, have a night in the lookout, absolutely brilliant. Again more for couples but my friend and I had a great time watching the elephants.
