Description

Timbavati Safari Lodge, in the African Bushveld, is engulfed in a pristine wildlife environment with a number of free roaming game. It is a family owned business a mere 20 km from the Orpen Gate of The Kruger National Park. The Safari Lodge is not situated in the Timbavati Private Reserve.

The 3-Star graded accommodation consists of beautifully, traditional Ndebele painted rondavels and family chalets, which are located amongst the shady trees and natural surroundings encouraging a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere. All 35 rooms are with en-suite, ceiling fans, small desk area and veranda.

The team at Timbavati Safari Lodge take pride in ensuring the guests have a memorable, African experience. After a long day game spotting in one of our, Kruger National Park registered open game vehicles, the newly furnished bar and restaurant is ready and waiting to serve our guests. Guests are welcome to relax at their rondavel on the outside veranda, by the swimming pool or alternatively in the lounge area.

In the evening, once the African sky is starlight, dinner will be served. Weather permitting, this could be a stunning evening enjoyed in either the reeded boma served with a traditional South African braai menu and African tribal dancing to follow or next to the swimming pool with a hearty African potjie, either way, the calls of the nearby wildlife will enhance the mystery of the African bush.

Timbavati Safari Lodge can offer day, sunset and night drive in the Kruger National Park or sunset drives in a private Big 5 nature reserve. Timbavati has many other activities to offer also to keep all the guest entertained. These can range from a local bush or cultural walk, a leisurely boat cruise in the Blyde River Canyon to take in the scenery, a visit to the local animal rehabilitation centres or for the more extreme adventures, hot air ballooning, elephant back safaris and many more.
