We recommend staying for at least three to seven nights to get the most out of your Timbavatio safari experience.

Reserve Information

The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is home to diverse wildlife, including the "Big Five", wild dog, cheetah and numerous other predator species.

The Timbavati also hosts various bird species, including vultures, eagles and kingfishers.

The Timbavati shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, allowing natural wildlife movement between both areas. This unique feature makes the Timbavati one of the few places in the world where one can see Africa's "Big Five" and many other species in their natural environment.
