About us
Your home-from-home in the African Bush.

Are you looking for something that reaches the heart of traditional African adventure and hospitality. You're looking for an African bush and wildlife experience that goes beyond the ordinary, but won't punch a buffalo-size hole in your budget. Are you looking, also, for the tranquility of soul that springs from deep within the sights, sounds and fragrances of the bush.

If so, consider Timbavati Safari Lodge to be your home-from-home in the African bush. Be it for an overnight stop over or for a week. Offering accommodations, meals and a host of interesting cultural and wildlife actvities.

We're proud to be able to offer you:


A unique wildlife experience. We are situated only minutes away from the Orpen Gate entrance into the heart of the world-renowned Kruger National Park, so we're able to offer you the opportunity to experience Africa's most spectacular wildlife in a true wilderness environment: prepare to be thrilled by large-as-life sightings of lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, giraffe and even the elusive leopard and cheetah....


Not to mention a host of other interesting plains animals, an abundance of birds large and small all within the pristine grass lands and majestic savanna forests. Within the view of the blue Drakensburg mountains a paradise for nature lovers and bird watchers. 


Timbavati is nestled among glades of mature, exquisite indigenous trees, and these are home to a variety of birds and other life. You can't fail to be enchanted by the call of the Woodland Kingfisher, the chorus of Francolin as the sun sets over the tree-line, and the calls of owls and nightjars as the night deepens and the African starscape explodes across the sky, and the distant call of hunting lions.

Feel at home. 
We're a family concern, and take pride in offering timeless, unconditional hospitality. If you have any special requirements, we'll be sure to cater for them to the very best of our ability.

Accommodation.
We offer a selection of 2 or 3 bedroom chalets and 2 bed rondawels uniquely painted with Ndebele art work, all with, en-suite bathroom facilities.

Flexibility.
We cater for couples, families, tour groups, team building events and conferences for up to 50 people. No matter how intimate or how group-oriented your visit, we'll strive to ensure the perfect mood and an altogether wonderful experience.
