Luxurious Lodge for safari travellers

Arukore Simba Camp features 12 luxurious permanent tented camps, offering singles, twins, and doubles. Each en-suite tent boasts an outdoor shower and magnificent views of the savannah. Decorated with local fabrics and hardwood furniture, our rooms provide a cozy and elegant retreat, complete with mosquito nets and full amenities. Powered by solar energy and equipped with solar-heated water, our lodge prioritizes sustainability and eco-friendliness. Family rooms are not available at this time, and children under the age of 13 are not accommodated. We welcome bookings for adults and children aged 13 to 18 years old.

Each room has a torch (flashlight) and umbrella for use during your stay with us.

There’s a secure safe for your valuables. A whistle is also provided in case you need to alert the security guards.

As the solar lighting may be dimmer than you’re used to, we highly recommend you bring a headlamp or book-light for reading in bed at night.

Due to our solar electrical system it’s not possible to use a hair dryer at Arukore Simba Camp. We kindly request that you don’t attempt to plug in a hair dryer as in all likelihood it will blow the system resulting in loss of power to the entire lodge.

We can only accommodate CPAP (sleep apnea machines) if they run on battery power, as we don’t have 24-hour electricity. You must be fully versed in how the machine works and able to assist the lodge staff in charging the battery. Please advise when booking if you use this device.

Reviews

Luxurious and highly recommended!
Arukore Simba Camp was the best lodge we have ever been to. The attention to detail in all areas of the camp were second to none and the extremely friendly staff made our stay even more special. The food was delicious and the rooms were very luxurious.

We loved the feel of it being open in the wild and we saw and heard plenty of wild animals during our stay!

Stunning views and excellent staff
This lodge was absolutely fantastic. The scenery was beautiful with wild animals coming outside the room, the room designs were newer than the other lodges with upgraded power outlets etc and better food.

The staff was extremely hospitable, caring, and knowledgeable. They constantly checked in on us to see if we we needed anything.

Amazing lodge
Amazing lodge, perfect aesthetics. Service was fabulous and the scenery was divine.

All the staff greeted us kindly upon arrival and it’s definitely a place you will miss at departure. Despite being the first guests to stay in the lodges, we felt very safe and assured through our stay.
