A premier safari destination, Timbavati is a private game reserve sharing unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park. Traversing Big 5 territory, game seekers can expect to tick these off their list, as well as a range of other game, including giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and warthog. A birdwatcher’s paradise too, it’s home to over 360 species.
If you’re lucky you’ll also catch a glimpse of the famous white lion – Timbavati is believed to have been home to them for centuries and is one of the only places in the world where you can see this magnificent specimen in its natural habitat. Another special species you can hope to see is the endangered wild dog, which regularly visit the reserve.
Special sightings aside, Timbavati offers a mix of luxury and high-quality lodges, excellent ranging on the daily game drives and nature walks, and a nearby airport – guests have the option to fly in to Hoedspruit for their convenience.
For every new booking made in 2023, Safari365 will contribute to the further education of one African student enrolled in Umuzi’s digital skills upliftment program.
