About the lodge and live stream

Welcome to Simbavati Waterside

Flanking a large dam in the southern Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Waterside was conceptualised, designed and built to be a natural extension of the pure utopian Klaserie wilderness from which it draws its inspiration. Water is the source of life. Throughout the year countless animal species can be viewed via the live stream – including predators, elephants, hippo and buffalo – are drawn to the dam to cool off and quench thirst (sometimes in herds numbering hundreds).
