Timbavati Safari
The journey, one day at a time
Into Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Arrive in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, met and transferred to your accommodation. Timbavati offers the off-road, tracker-led quality of the private reserves with a wilder, less commercial feel and often a gentler price than Sabi Sand. For travellers who want the private-reserve advantage without the crowds or the top-end cost, it is one of the smartest choices in the Greater Kruger.
White-lion bush
Off-road drives across wild Greater-Kruger bush for the Big Five and the famed white lions. More of the wild bush — lion, elephant and leopard, with fewer vehicles.
