The 60,000 hectare Timbavati Game Reserve shares a common unfenced border with the Kruger National Park allowing animals free range over 2 million hectares of African bush.

This hot lowveld area of wood and grassland is home to Africa's Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) as well as many more species of predator and antelope, and this abundance of wildlife ensures that visitors to the area have an unforgettable safari.

Visitors can view the big game from open 4x4 safari vehicles, on foot as part of a guided bush walk,  or even from the comfort of their rooms as they experience the timeless magic of the African bush.

The lodges are dedicated to giving their guests not only superb wildlife viewing, but also offer excellent accommodation coupled with outstanding service and cuisine.

Refreshing swimming pools provide a respite from the hot African sun.
