Acacia Premier opened its doors in June 2015 and is the first self-managed property under Simba Hospitality, a division of the leading regional group, Simba Corporation. Simba first entered the hospitality sector with marquee properties Villa Rosa Kempinski and Olare Mara Kempinski managed by the world leading hoteliers, Kempinski Hotels. Both the Villa Rosa Kempinski and Olare Mara Kempinski hotels have been recognised as outstanding properties in local and international hospitality publications. Simba Hospitalitys strategic plan is to grow the Acacia brand throughout the region through our in-house brands Acacia Express and Acacia Premier.
