lies SIMBA LODGE. An exclusive lodge with only six chalets, the
emphasis is on creating a superb complete bush experience.
In
an environment unchange for centuries, guests can enjoy walking with
a pro guide, game veiwing by vehicle either on the estate or in the
nearby Hwange National Park, night game drives looking for the cat
family, or just relaxing on their own private veranda watching the
diverse birdlife.

charming charlets, all built of stone under thatch, face a large
vlei with waterholes, to which animals come down to drink. evening
cocktails can be enjoyed around the waterhole, or on the nearby game
veiwing platform. There
is a plunge pool and an excellent library of reference books. |

A
speciality of Simba Lodge is camping in Hwanga National park. After
a huge b/fast at simba , guests take a slow drive into and through
the park, stopping for a picnic lunch. A tented camp is set up by
staff and a wonderful meal had around the camp fire under the stars.
Lying safely in a tent listening to the lions roar in the distance
completes the true bush adventure.
To
help conserve this wonderful habitat, and to prevent vehicales
becoming stuck in the deep Kalahari sand, vehicales are left at
halfway hotel, on the main Bulawayo- vic falls road. from here
guests are taken to Simba lodge, often seeing elephant and other
wildlife along the way.
